‘Neem Oil’ – Propaganda Exposed

Neem oil is available at seva centres of the Ashram. The propaganda that is going on is that a child from Pune, Maharasthra drank this oil and developed paralysis. In reality, two years ago when this complaint had been voiced, the ‘Food and Drug Administration’ department’s government officials at that time got the oil tested in the laboratory and declared it completely safe. The following is the certificate:
