Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Friday invited American entrepreneur and venture capitalist Bryan Johnson to Patanjali Yog Gram in Haridwar to explore India’s yoga practices and yogis from a neutral and scientific perspective.<\/p>\n
This invitation came after Johnson expressed concerns about Haridwar’s air quality and his scepticism regarding the anti-ageing benefits of Patanjali products.<\/p>\n
In a post on X, the Yoga guru said that the scientific approach to anti-ageing is rooted in yoga, Ayurveda and nature.<\/p>\n\n
\nDear @bryan_johnson<\/a> ji
\nWe are sharing a video with proof of #Haridwar<\/a> Yoggram’s excellent Air Quality Index #AQI<\/a> . We invite you to explore India’s yoga and yogis with a neutral and scientific perspective. The scientific approach to anti-aging is rooted in #yoga<\/a>, #Ayurveda<\/a>, and\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/w8bXHhh723<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 \u0938\u094d\u0935\u093e\u092e\u0940 \u0930\u093e\u092e\u0926\u0947\u0935 (@yogrishiramdev) February 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The scientific approach to anti-ageing is rooted in #yoga, #Ayurveda, and nature,” Ramdev said in the post.<\/p>\n
Ramdev also invited Johnson for a discussion on healthy living, “real anti-ageing,” and solutions with scientific temperament and evidence.<\/p>\n
“As you had to leave Mumbai unexpectedly, we extend an invitation to visit Haridwar #patanjaliYoggram, from here, we can podcast on healthy lifestyle and #realantiaging solutions with scientific temperament and evidence,” Ramdev said in the post.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Johnson said that Ramdev had blocked him from his X account after he commented on Ramdev’s post promoting Patanjali products.<\/p>\n\n
\nI replied with this comment and he hid it and blocked me:<\/p>\n
Air quality in Haridwar right now is
\nPM\u2082.\u2085 36 \u00b5g\/m\u00b3 which is equal to smoking 1.6 cigarettes a day.

“I replied with this comment and he hid it and blocked me: Air quality in Haridwar right now is PM2.5 36 ug\/m3 which is equal to smoking 1.6 cigarettes a day. This raises risks of heart disease by 40-50%, lung cancer by 3x, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and early death (5-7 years lost),” Johnson said in a post on X.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Ramdev uploaded a video that shows him running next to a horse.<\/p>\n
Sharing the video, Ramdev wrote, “If you want to run like a horse, build strong immunity, and boost anti-ageing, consume Swarna Shilajit and Immunogrit Gold.” Both products are part of Patanjali, the company he co-founded with Balkrishna in 2006.<\/p>\n
Bryan Johnson’s concerns about air pollution in India are not new. He recently made headlines when he abruptly left Nikhil Kamath’s podcast, citing air quality issues.<\/p>\n\n
