A video of yoga guru Baba Ramdev falling off an elephant while performing yoga has gone viral on social media. This incident is said to have happened on Monday when Baba Ramdev was teaching yoga practice to saints at Guru Sharanan's ashram Ramanarati in Mathura. The 22-second video went viral on Tuesday.

The clip shows Baba Ramdev sitting on the elephant while performing a yoga asana. A few seconds into the video, the pachyderm moves which disturbs Ramdev's balance and he falls on the ground. He gets up immediately laughing.
