YOGA UNCOILED: From East to West (1 of 2)

YOGA UNCOILED: From East to West
A look into the practice of Yoga in the Church

Many believe they can practice yoga postures, breathing, and focusing techniques devoid of yoga's spirituality, not realizing that yoga is an inherent part of Hindu philosophy which teaches man and nature are one with divinity.

Today, yoga is experiencing a worldwide renaissance and in America has more than 70,000 yoga teachers working in 20,000 locations. Although viewed primarily as fitness instructors, these trainers are in reality the leading missionaries of eastern religion in the west. The twenty-seven billion dollar a year yoga industry is marketed to students, athletes, businessmen, pregnant women and senior citizens promising solutions for stress reduction, concentration problems, and issues of self confidence.

Once viewed by Christians as a pagan import from the East, yoga has now become mainstream in the church through "Christ-centered yoga classes" designed to help improve spirituality and experience "the presence of God". But is yoga's mysticism compatible with historic Christianity?

Video-journalist Caryl Matrisciana, who was born and raised in India, returns to her native land to search for truth among India's leading experts and examines what Christian Yoga practitioners in the West are saying about their Yoga participation.

With critical discernment, this hard-hitting and informative DVD explores the ramifications of dismissing yoga's core spirituality, and blending Biblical terminology and precepts with eastern meditative techniques and practices.

In India you can be born a slave for life and this can be justified but some random notion of karma and reincarnation chaining people into all kinds of intolerable abuse for life if they are born into lower casts. Hinduism is the justification of massive cult mind control over entire sections of India, it robs the masses of liberty! There may be similarities in their voting system but India uses religion to justify abuse of freedom on all levels.

hinduism is satanic, evil suppression of human freedom and dignity. a fake religion, it's not true at all, and this poison has infected the West up to a certain degree, because of the decline of Christian values here.

@lithopoonwit Jesus saves people completely. All who trust in Jesus alone as their own Saviour will be saved.

Jesus paid The price for our sins upon The Cross.

Wake up Western dullards!!!

2 wonderful exposAYs of mixed eastern and western thought. One point I've realised recently is the unexceptable nature of Hindu culture. Those mixed up quotes we get on tv that hail India as the largest democracy in the world, what a joke!

Ask any yogi, if he believes that Jesus Christ is the one and only born Son of God, the second Person of the Most Holy Trinity,the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who took the flesh by the Holy Spirit,from a perfect virgin named Mary. That He redeemed the whole of mankind in past,present and future,and took upon Him the sins of the world. That every man must be baptised in the name of this Holy Trinity, and believe in order to be saved. Matthew 28,19 and Marc 16,16.
