Muslim leaders in India object to Yoga Day

[Rajaraja Chola]

There is nothing wrong in doing yoga. In my school days we kids used to have fun doing all postures/asanas.

As for muslims, I don't think they can have objection on anything except Surya Namaskar which literally means bowing before Sun God.

Even without surya namaskar, yoga has got hundreds of asanas which are good for health. I would suggest to set a team of experts which can come up with a standard yoga package which is acceptable to all.

You cant edit a traditional practise according to one's whim and fancies. Learn it fully to reap full benefits to one's body and mind

It will take years and can not reach massses too soon. It should start with basic postures and move ahead.

A school can never teach all postures of yoga. Only basic ones. And these idiots protest even those

You can replace the mantra ucharan with Allah ucharan. The purpose is to concentrate the mind by thinking of one thing only, so as to exclude other thoughts. And the thought should be of the highest divinity (which is same for all, just different names) and eventually merge with that divinity also known as self realization.

You can meditate on any thought, but mantra cannot be substituted. Those mantras were made with specific purposes in mind. Likewise, chanting of OM produces a vibration that cannot be replicated by chanting Allah or Jesus.

If you chant anything you want, but it wont work the way OM does. OM is not a randomly chosen word in yoga which can just be easily substituted by other sounds. Nor is the objective just to concentrated on one word

"Om as the sound symbol of the Absolute is called anahata, the uncreated word vibration not produced on account of any friction while all other sounds are produced on account of friction. It is self-created, total field of energy akin to what modern scientists contemplate as the quantum event, infinitely interconnected, self-organising and profoundly intelligent to be the central idea, the blueprint, and the element of the universe".

Cosmic vibration of Om

Meditation is not mental push ups or brain exercise either. It is a tool to transcend beyond the mental limitations.

Kundalini, Chi, Ki, are all products of this same Yoga as it spread to the Orient.

yes, but I was talking about the concept of mantra wrt meditation, can be chant or a word.. one can even say 'apple, apple' etc

and I would say it is a brain exercise, one that helps you transcend beyond the mental limitations.. your threshold for bs greatly increases and one is less likely to react impulsively in anger, for normal everyday folk that is.

high level babas, monks etc can probably travel astrally and god know what else

It does not work that way. For meditation you need not chant, you can just concentrate on a single object in your mind or do a "silent" chant. But if you are speaking it out loud, these words are tailored for specific energy field. Just try chanting OM and notice the vibrations in your body and then try out with apple or Jesus or any word you like. The different is immediately noticeable and glaring.

Yoga does calm the mind, but it is not merely brain exercise. This is like having a supercomputer and saying you can use it to file documents.

don't you ever stop??



and who exactly has become one with the "universal consciousness"?? baba ramdev?? his own yoga-camp huge tent in kathmandu was collapsed by the earthquake, with 800 kundalini aspirers under it.

1)Well since you asked before where did you say such things, i posted an example.

2)Those who follow and practise Yoga diligently, reach Higher Consciousness levels and yes they become one with Universal Consciousness, there are different stages and levels of it.Just like you cannot compare a Kindergarten kid(Yoga Beginner) with a PH.D Professor(Paripoorna Yoga), likewise a Beginner cannot be compared to a Yogi who reached the ultimate state..
What would you know about it,we been practising it for millennia and it's still a rage even now, While your Socialism was born in 1930's and failed to last even a mere 50 years.

If one goes by your criteria than a quarter of the global population is ISIS including 1/5th of Indian pop.

They are free not to do it. Some of these "parasites" try to take advantage of the others' tolerance to a degree that it ultimately backfires on them.



Any Pakistani even talking of Yoga or using haram internet (mostly for ****) or listening to music (moshiki) or dancing or loudspeakers or painting or using TV... should be shot dead.

mostly for **** ?
