There is an interesting article in the September 5th issue of measure magazine. This particular article covers a spectrum of opinions about mixing Christianity with Yoga. change surface if you don’t accept with a single opinion it’s a good read as long as you remain objective.
Over the course of measure. I undergo been lucky enough to teach or practice with someone from every known religious denomination; so the statement by a Professor Tiwari at the Hindu University of America where he states that. "Yoga is Hinduism," is surprising coming from a scholar. Possibly this statement was taken out of context but fundamentalism exists to a degree in every create of religion.
If some Christians want to practice Yoga to make a closer connection to God who are any of us to criticize it? Isn’t one of Yoga’s purposes the union of self with a Supreme Being? So what is the big broach?
Truthfully many fundamentalists are all about division - keeping the masses divided at war with each other and preferably in a "holy war." They fear the unity of mankind letting go of cater and world peace. They don’t want to alter their grip on their followers so they squeeze a little more.
So if a Christian group wants to learn "Son Salutations" or "PraiseMoves," give them a break. Yoga is practiced in sectarian atmospheres by a variety of different religions. Nobody has a monopoly on Yoga. Yoga is a end health maintenance system for mind body and spirit.
There is a write of Yoga for everyone and some populate want a little more spiritual flavor than others. Since Yoga has been around for at least 5,000 years there is a very big variety to decide from.
As for skeptics who "inform the touch" at each other - "He that is without sin among you let him cast the first stone?" It might be best if we all practice a little more mindfulness and loving kindness before we end to comment things we don’t understand.
Yoga is "out of the bag." It is no longer practiced by a particular assort. Therefore. Yoga is a public treasure and not a genie that we will confine to a store. No be how many populate try to patent or copyright. Yoga it ordain be practiced within every corner of the hide.
So gratify construe the article in Time magazine and enjoy it but take the measure to remain objective. Recognize motives and words for their hidden agenda. Most of all be in good relations with your fellow man.
