GUWAHATI: The officials from Patanjali apologized on behalf of yoga instructor Satinath Barale who made controversial statement on Assamese saint-scholar Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev on 30th September.
In a meeting held between Patanjali officials and Srimanta Shankardev Yuva Manch at Patanjali Yoga Training centre located at Mirza on Sunday, Patanjali officials rendered an apology and promised not to hurt the sentiments of Assamese people in future.
Satinath Barale on September 28, in a yoga camp at Darang district, Duni village said that Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev isn't a saint and there is nothing spiritual about the Namghars in Assam and the use of mustard oil in the Namghars of Assam is sheer stupidity.
It is to be mentioned that many organizations staged protest against the yoga preacher and Patanjali after his disgraceful comments.
