A) INTRODUCTION

 

 

Let me begin with:  “Any Form Of Exercise Is Beneficial.”  By contrast, when you know that the exercise is spiritual, buyer beware.  If you believe Yoga, as an example, is not spiritual, read the rest of this article.  An example would be, if you are participating in Catholic, Protestant, or whatever practices, you are subjecting yourself to those spiritual influences.

 

 

B) WHAT YOGA IS

 

 

Yoga literally means, “To Combine; To Bine; To Connect; To Marry.”

 

Yoga is one of the six teaching of Hinduism.  It is a Hindu ritual.  Although, it is atheistic in nature.  Each stretching exercise has a meaning in Hinduism.  A small breakdown would be:

Warier One; Warier Two; Warier Three = which equals “an act of beheading,” which is modeled in the exercise that resembles an act of moving the severed head and offering it to one of the Hindu gods.

 

The 12 “Surya Namaskar Mantras,” have all meanings and  postures designed for the worship of the “sun,” understanding that in Hinduism thought, it is the all-powerful force for life itself.  In other words, every one of these 12 positions (exercises) has a meaning towards the posturing worship to and of the “sun.”

 

In Ezekiel, Chapter Eight, God points out that the Priests of God’s Holy Temple, even they were turning their backs against it (God) and worshiping the “sun.”  God Himself calls this an “abomination.”  The Yoga exercises are designed for the person to be bowing in worship to the “sun.”

 

In Hinduism, when it comes to Yoga, the ultimate goal is:  “To Be Like God.”  The teaching is, there is no God, but you are the god, but you do not know you are the god or goddess.  What needs to be inserted here is that although you may not feel these things are so, or you are not performing these exercises for these purposes, your devout Yoga teacher knows exactually what he is getting you involved in.

 

Genesis, Chapter Three, teaches us, that from the beginning, Satan has taught mankind that you can become, “like God.”

 

The “Eight Limbs Of Yoga” come to us from the teaching that the serpent (Christians should pick up on this creature), took the form of a man, and brought us these “Eight Limbs,” for mankind to practice.  There is too much here to get into without a total discussion of Hinduism, which Christians do not need to get involved with.

 

In the Bible, your body is to house the God.  It is to be the temple of God.  In Yoga (Hinduism), your body is your temple; not God’s temple.  Because you are the god.  Or better, you are to become the god because there is Divinity in you.  In Yoga, this is how you bring out this divinity within you.

 

 

C) TO THE BASE OF THE PROBLEM

 

 

What Christians fail to recognize, is that Yoga is presented as a “Health Message.”  Thus, it hides under this guise.  For the Christian not to distinguish the driving forces behind Yoga (Hinduism; playing with the Devils tools), is to place oneself on the enemy’s ground and hope to receive whatever exercise benefits without the other is carelessness (couldn’t care less).

 

By practicing the arts of the system, you are becoming a part of the system.  In Freemasonry (see my Bible Study upon that), you don’t just start waving your hand signals around without starting to know what they mean and becoming a part of that system.  That is the caution.

 

Back to the health message.  In the Bible, the health message is given in order that one might better be able to be free from one’s stomach and be able to better “Keep God’s Commandments.”  In Yoga, it is to be able to “Brake God’s Commandments,” because you are the god (and there are no Commandments; i.e., atheism).
