Sri Sri has been a long standing supporter of Mr Hazare's movement India Against Corruption.
Sri Sri Ravishankar told, "I have come here to meet Anna Hazare".
Asked to comment on the government's action against Mr Hazare, Sri Sri said "will any sane person say that it was the right action?"
In a veiled criticism of Congress, he criticised the "double-speak" of the party saying "it is not good that one day Hazare is accused of corruption and the next day you say this is not good".
Ramdev, with whom Hazare and his associates have differences due to his alleged links with Hindutva elements, reached Tihar Jail on Wednesday afternoon. He was denied entry in Tihar Jail to meet Anna Hazare.
Earlier, Ramdev submitted a memorandum against Hazare's arrest to President Pratibha Patil. Addressing protesters, Ramdev termed Hazare's arrest as a "conspiracy in the name of democracy".
Anna is fighting for a strong Lokpal and his dream will be fulfilled. The whole country and all patriotic countrymen are with him in this struggle," he said.
Activists Kiran Bedi, Swami Agnivesh and Medha Patkar had earlier joined hundreds of protestors while a large number of the Gandhian's supporters took out marches across the city.
