Why he might be annoying:

    He is the first to copyright a yoga method, which has caused controversy in the yoga world (2003).
    He’s been called the ‘Bill Gates of yoga’ and the ‘bad boy of yoga.’
    He claims that only his yoga method can cure every major disease.
    He makes statements such as ‘I have balls like atom bombs, two of them, 100-megatons each. Nobody fucks with me!’
    He boasts about his wealth, which consists of a large collection of Rolls Royces and Bentleys, and a drawer full of Rolex watches.
    He talks incessantly about his celebrity clientele.
    His wife, Rajashree, is 19 years his junior.
    His usual yoga attire consists of a skimpy Speedo swimsuit and a diamond-studded wristwatch.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has been practicing yoga since childhood.
    At 13, he was the youngest participant to win the National India Yoga contest.
    As a teen, he badly injured his knee during a weight lifting accident. Western-trained doctors didn’t think he would be able to walk again.
    After the accident, he started a yoga routine that healed his knee in 6 months.
    He has been married to Rajashree since 1984.
    He taught yoga for free when he first came to the US.
    He is a knowledgeable mechanic and has a garage that restores antique cars.
    Where as yoga in the West is mostly practiced by women, Bikram Yoga has a substantial male following.
