\"\"INDIA, August 23, 2017 (by Surbhi Gloria Singh, Business Standard): Patanjali Ayurved Ltd, the manufacturer of herbal products, founded by yoga guru Baba Ramdev now has competition from another spiritual guru — Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Art of Living Foundation’s FMCG (”Fast Moving Consummer Goods”) arm, Sri Sri Ayurveda is all set to take the FMCG industry by storm with the launch of about 1,000 retail stores, reflecting the increasing demand for herbal products across India. Sri Sri will also launch clinics and treatment centres in a resemblance to the retailing strategy of Baba Ramdev-led Patanjali.”People have now accepted ayurvedic products in their daily lives, and we believe our brand offerings are different compared to those of existing players,” said Tej Katpitia, chief executive of Sri Sri Ayurveda (SSA) Trust told Economics Times. SSA will open Sri Sri Tattva branded stores. ”The first store will be launched next month with plans to open 50 doors by November. The aim is to have a billion-dollar business in the next few years,” said Gaurav Marya, chairman of Franchise India Holdings.<\/p>\n

Five Truths Accidentally Revealed by an American Student on a Christian Mission Trip to Karnataka<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"INDIA, August 18, 2017 (Hindu Post): American students on short-term mission trips to Bharat in pursuit of the Great Commission (the Biblical mandate to make disciples of all nations) is a phenomenon that has grown rapidly recently. Where do these students go? Well, most of them come to countries which fall in the 10\/40 window – a rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East and Asia between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees north latitude. The 10\/40 Window includes the majority of the world’s Hindus and Buddhists and Muslims – over 4 billion ”unreached” people. Missionaries prefer to focus on converting Hindus, tribals and Buddhists<\/p>\n

Now, a routine article (https:\/\/www.mississippivalleypublishin … e7-85a6-2bdd7b882d78.html<\/a>) in a nondescript US paper, Fort Madison Daily Democrat, published from the Mid-Western state of Iowa has revealed five interesting insights about how missionaries operate in and perceive Bharat. The article reveals routine abuse of India’s visa regulations, a decided focus on Hindus as easy targets, use of humanitairan service to evangelize and the selling of Christianity as the route to prosperity.<\/p>\n

One quote from the Fort Madison Daily Democrate article:<\/p>\n

” ’It’s not illegal to be a Christian’ in the southern part of India, Carter said, ’but Hindus have a problem with Americans going around sharing the Gospel.’ So the missionary couple have been there on a ’tourist visa’ – for the last 30 years. ’I thought it was pretty cool,’ Carter said, ’that God protected them so they could get away with it.’ ’<\/p>\n
