[Cataloguing Ayurvedic Medicines... ]
Indian Government normally reacts too late in protecting against Patents being awarded in Western world for age old Indian traditional practices. In an unexpected sense of urgency it seems to be acting now on Protecting several Yoga techniques from being patented.
"The Indian government is getting old Sanskrit and Tamil texts translated and is also cataloguing ayurvedic medicines. The information will be made available in five languages so patent offices around the world can access it, according to the International Herald Tribune"

I side with the Hindi, they have every right to protect their brand.
I agree Patanjali. Who would have ever thought that idiocy of such magnitude could exist in our world, and lead to patenting YOGA positions and Sanskrit ??
It is sort of a YOGA hustle .. eh?
