Yoga: How did it conquer the world and what's changed?
BBC News
Millions of people around the world have rolled out their yoga mats to celebrate a tradition that was once the preserve of Hindu holy men but is now a worldwide phenomenon.
Practitioners in more than 100 countries have planned events this week to celebrate the third International Yoga Day, which Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi convinced the UN to declare in 2015.
Since coming to power in 2014, the Hindu nationalist leader has led efforts to promote yoga, which he practises daily, as an important part of India's history and culture.
"Many countries which do not know our language, tradition, or culture, are now connecting to India through yoga," Mr Modi told a crowd of tens of thousands in the city of Lucknow, where he performed poses.
And while some critics say Mr Modi's yoga push is part of a wider political agenda, there is little doubt that he is correct in saying yoga is one of the country's most significant cultural exports.
But how did yoga spread, and do the poses that people perform in studios and gyms the world over accurately represent the Indian tradition?

quote:
"If you practice yoga,
you practice Hinduism;
and the more you do it,
the more you open yourself up to the spiritual side of it
....the asanas and the pranayama really intend to produce the awakening of what is known as "kundalini power", which is taught as being a snake coiled around the base of the spine.
When this serpent is awakened, it will then move up through the body, through the "chakras" (the so-called life-force centres) and once it reaches the "crown chakra" (or the top of the head) (interesting that satan came into the garden of Eden as a snake).
Do you want to follow Shiva (who taught the “science” of Hatha Yoga) who is also named the Destroyer -
or Christ, who came to heal and save

The yogic Christ and the terrifying demonic reality of yoga
By Linda Kimball
July 2, 2017
In "The Yoga of Jesus: Understanding the Hidden Teachings of the Gospels," Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952) reveals the hidden yoga of the Gospels and confirms that Jesus, like the ancient sages and masters of the East, not only knew yoga but taught this ancient royal science of god-realization to his closest disciples.
Hailed as "the father of Yoga in the West," Paramahansa Yogananda is regarded as one of the great occult spiritual figures of our time. Born in northern India, he came to the United States in 1920, where for more than 30 years he taught the ancient science of Kriya Yoga meditation and the art of balanced spiritual living. Yogananda emphasized the underlying unity of the world's great religions, including Christianity, and taught universally applicable methods for attaining direct personal experience of god within. He founded Self-Realization Fellowship to disseminate his writings and teachings worldwide and through his best-selling classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, and his numerous other books, he introduced millions throughout America and the world to the spiritual principles of yoga meditation and the universal occult truths underlying all world religions.
The Second Coming of Christ continues the legacy of the Sanatana Dharma – the perennial philosophy that proclaims the bliss of god as the overarching goal of all religious practice. This consummation is available to one and all, and the apparent exclusivity of the Yogic Christ's claim, "No man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6), becomes a promise to all humanity, irrespective of creed.

The article also says:
""There are many Christians who believe that it is possible to participate in (the) first stage of yoga without harm. It is merely a matter of relaxation exercises (they say). If only this were true! Counseling experience tells otherwise. This technique of relaxation and these "emptying exercises" (of the mind) lead to the inflowing of another spirit – other spirits. The students of yoga do not notice it............... it does not open the door for the Holy Spirit but for unholy spirits.........under an occult spiritual regime of absolute oppression and delusion known as Mystery Babylon.......the true source of occult serpent powers is Satan"
And this is truly sick sick sick...it was so hard to even read it......who in their right mind would even ever want to risk getting to this stage???
As a matter of fact, all the features associated with European witches are – with the exception of Satan and the Sabbath – claimed also by Indo-Tibetan yogis and magicians. They too are supposed to fly through the air, render themselves invisible, kill at a distance, master demons and ghosts, and so on. Moreover, some of (them) boast that they break all the religious taboos and social rules; that they practice human sacrifice, cannibalism, and all manner of orgies, including incestuous intercourse, and that they eat excrement, nauseating animals, and devour human corpses. "
And people are training even children in this......Please come soon Lord Jesus...the world is if anything quickly becoming worse than the people in Noah's day!!!
