Christian Yoga?

It is an interesting article in the 5 September issue of time magazine.
This article refers to a range of opinions about the mixing of Christianity with yoga. Even if you agree with one opinion goes, it is a good read, as long as you remain objective.

In the course of time, I was lucky enough to learn, practice, or with someone from any known religious denomination; the Declaration a Professor Tiwari at the Hindu University of America, where he proposes to that, "Yoga is Hinduism," so amazing, a scholar. Possibly, this statement was taken out of context, but fundamentalism exists, with a degree in any form of religion.

When some Christians practice yoga to the God want to create a more accurate, it that each of us, to criticize it? Not Yoga is objective, the Union of itself with a supreme being? What's the big deal?

Truth, many fundamentalists are divided about Division-keep the masses, at war with each other and preferably in a "holy war". They fear the unity of humankind, let the power and peace in the world. They don't want to lose their grip on their trailer, so they squeeze a bit more.

So when a Christian group practice "son greetings" or "Praisemoves" tries, you give you pause. Yoga is practiced in a sectarian atmosphere by a variety of different religions. No one has a monopoly on yoga. Yoga is a complete health management system for body and mind.

It is a type of Yoga for all, and some people like a little more than other spiritual taste. Yoga has been for at least 5000 years, there are plenty to choose from.

As for the skeptics, the "finger" each other - "who is without sin among you let him cast the first stone..." It would be best if we all practice a bit more awareness and loving kindness, before we decide to criticize things we don't understand.

Yoga is "out of" the bag. It is no longer practiced by a particular group. Yoga is therefore a public treasure, and a genius, that we will restrict a bottle. It does not matter how many people try to patent, copyright, yoga, it will be exercised in each corner of the Earth.

Please, read the article in time magazine and enjoy it, but take time remain objective. Words to recognize for their motives and hidden agenda. In particular, you remain in good relations with your fellow human beings.
