This is an interesting article in Time magazine on September 5.
This particular article covers a spectrum of opinions about mixing Christianity with Yoga. Even if you disagree with an opinion, this is a good read, while being objective.
Over the years I have been lucky enough to teach, or practice with someone who is known as a religious denomination, etc.
Professor at the University Tiwari Hindus of America, where, he says, "Yoga is Hinduism," is surprising, coming from the researcher. Perhaps this statement was taken out of context, but fundamentalism exists, to some extent, all of religion.
If some Christians want to practice yoga for a closer relationship with God, which are each of us to criticize? Is not one of the goals of yoga, the union of self with a Supreme Being? So what's the problem?
In fact, many fundamentalists are all about division - keeping the masses divided, at war with each other, and preferably in a They fear that the unity of mankind, letting go of power and world peace "holy war" .. They will not loosen their grip on their followers, so they squeeze a little more.
So if a Christian group wants to engage in "Son of Greetings", or "PraiseMoves", give them a break. Yoga is conducted in the premises of sectarian religions. Nobody has a monopoly on Yoga. Yoga is a complete health care system of mind, body and spirit.
There is a form of yoga for everyone and some people want a little more spiritual flavor than others. Since Yoga has been around since at least 5000 years, there is a wide selection to choose from.
What skeptics who "fingers" each other - "He who is without sin among you cast the first stone ..." It might be better if we all practice a little 'more attention, and loving kindness, before you decide to criticize things we do not understand.
Yoga is "out of the bag." It is no longer practiced by a particular group. Therefore, Yoga is a public treasure, and that the attention of the Genie bottle. No matter how many people are trying to patent or copyright, yoga has been practiced in all parts of the world.
So read the article in Time magazine and enjoy, but it takes time to be a target. Recognize motives and words for their hidden agenda. Above all, it remains a good relationship with our neighbor.
