Yoga doesn’t lead to God, says Kerala church report

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

While the central government has taken several steps to promote yoga in the country, the Syro-Malabar Church’s doctrinal commission report has said that it was not a medium to attain divine experience.
The report was prepared by the Pala diocese bishop Mar Joseph Kallarangattu. It was approved by the Syro Malabar church synod recently. However, a group of priests and laity members have opposed the report.

“Yoga is not a way to reach the God. It is not right to believe that it will be helpful to experience God or to have a personal encounter with the almighty. Yoga doesn’t bring about any improvement in any person,” said the report.


The RSS and other Sangh Parivar groups are trying to promote yoga all over India. So, the laity should be more vigilant about the practice. Yoga has an important place in our culture. It is to be considered as a physical exercise or simply as postures to concentrate or to meditate,” the report adds.

“The laity and church heads should take care to avoid paying attention to yoga and other spiritual movements, which are totally against the Catholic faith. The yoga and other anti-Christian practices do not encourage the official teachings of the Church,” it said. In order to address various health problems, several Christians have been attending yoga sessions. But these practices promote anti-Christian views and culture. Any sensible person should not encourage such practices, said the doctoral commission report.

RSS sends them some money these christians would be dancing to their. Look at the christians of North east.

Yoga is an ancient practise of aboriginal Indians which was hijacked by brahmins. Don't oppose yoga. Oppose Brahminism you rice bag converts.

The egalitarian religion of IVC is superior to foreign religions like Christianity, Brahminisn/Hinduism etc

 

[Divergent]

Ofcourse it doesn’t. It’s just a relaxation, flexible and inner connection excercise

Chicks in yoga pants are the only thing I like about yoga

If you play any competitive sports and are used to doing stretches you would then see various similarities between the sports stretches and Yoga.

In a world where you did farming work etc having a nice stretching session now and then helped keep muscles functioning properly without injury. How ancient humans figured out certain stretches over time is anyone's guess but perhaps by trial and error over generations.


And some excercises have elements of strength training (without the machines), comparitive to lets say pushups or form of it or incline push.

Yoga>Peace and harmony with your body> connection with inner self > God

There's nothing wrong about Yoga! It doesn't lead to God? OK! It leads to the mouths of Hindus? Too bad.

Abrahamic religions are loosing their edge in the world of science and tetechnology.
When yoga is finding global appeal and influence Abramic religions are becoming more and more rirrelevent day by day. They will disappear with passage of time.

Yoga is used to strengthen the physical body so that hard penance and meditation can be undertaken by a devotee to connect with the Divine

Wrong.

 

[Fireurimagination]

Wrong.

I am talking about the Yoga aasanas which westerners perceive as Yoga and not Kundalini yoga or advanced forms of deep meditation

 

[El Sidd]

Wrong.

Prasad buddyyyyyyyyy... how you doing?
Once a wise man told me

With Yoga you can reach Peace and when you have Peace you will find God

Abrahamic religions are loosing their edge in the world of science and tetechnology.
When yoga is finding global appeal and influence Abramic religions are becoming more and more rirrelevent day by day. They will disappear with passage of time.

All religions will be dimished over time with more education and science.
Especially ones that tell you that flying monkeys fought battles with elephant headed dieties.

Any the biggest winners of that religion going away, will be the practicers of that religion. Since they will not longer be oppressed by it's cast system.
