We all know yoga exercises, right? But something you may not know is that yoga is not just an exercise, it is much more than that.
Yoga originated from India and according to records it has both meditative and spiritual core. Yoga has been credited to Hinduism and Buddism. Yoga means to join, to unite or to attach. It also means ‘combined’. But my question is : combined with what? Unite with what? Attached to whom? According to Yoga Sutras, it is the ‘union with the Supreme’.
Now if yoga is not Christian, which supreme being are you exposing your spirit to be joined to? Is yoga nothing more than a gateway to channeling demonic spirits?
The international day of yoga was celebrated for the first time all over the world some days ago. It saw thousands of people setting out their mats in various countries like India, US etc and these gatherings featured dignitaries like the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon. UN declared June 21 as the international yoga day, highlighting its health benefits to the public.
Yoga involves not only the physical exercise but meditation and concentration. Yoga is different things in Hindu and Buddism. It is a path to omniscience ( Uh…the last time I checked God is the only one who is and will always be Omniscient). It is also a technique for entering other bodies, generating multiple bodies and attainment of supernatural accomplishments. It is the rising and expansion of consciousness.
Source adds that apart from spiritual goals, the physical postures of yoga are used to alleviate health problems, reduce stress and make spine supple. It is used as a complete exercise program and physical therapy routine.
