Swami Awadheshanand, Anand Murti Maharaj, Pejawar Swami, Dr Pranav Pandya are some of the other prominent spiritual leaders who are expected to be present at the event. In fact, more than 150 saints will be present at the Patanjali Ashram belonging to the most powerful sects of Hinduism. Together, they have more than 150 million devotees. The sadhus are expected to roar their demand for Modi as prime minister of India. The inauguration of the school, is just an excuse.

A school based on Vedic-cum-modern education, Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust's Acharyakulam Shikshan Sansthanam is affiliated to CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education). It will offer education to students from grades 5th to 12th.

Modi's visit to Haridwar assumes significance as it comes at a time when he is being increasingly projected as BJP's PM candidate for 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Of late, Ramdev has emerged as one of the most vocal supporters of the 'Modi for PM' idea.
