First
Word
Yogaphobia is the
fear, that certain postures or sequences in Yoga could present prayers to Hindu
gods making it incompatible with Christian doctrines and moral codes. The Elephant in the room is the question; SHOULD A CHRISTIAN PRACTICE YOGA? Christian Colleges
such as Gordon College and Wheaton College offer Yoga classes.
Nothing is inherently wrong in its own
light with a highly developed, low impact, physical activity; that of
stretching, bending, twisting and breathing to relieve pain and get your body
in shape.[1] Christian have co-opted pagan holidays for celebration of Christmas and
the Easter days, so why not Yoga.
What’s the big deal? Yoga is a
spiritual discipline that uses the body as a vehicle for achieving
consciousness of the divine; Christianity is just
spiritual kindergarten and Yoga allows you to move on to the next level; on to
higher things. Yoga serves
as the gateway for New Age thinking,
it is a mixing of worldviews without paying attention to what is being homogenized in the mix.[2] This is an attempt to combine two
contradictory beliefs into a New Age religious
system.[3]
The Christianization of Yoga has been
repackaged and is now called “Wholy Fit” or “Praise Moves” or “Body Prayer”
or “Stretching
the Truth”; all accompanied with Biblical Scripture mantra techniques and meditation.[4]
Well, I must say that Yoga is far more
complex than the common understandings imply. Most are unaware that Yoga cannot be neatly “separated” into spiritual and physical
dimensions.[5]
The Book questions us with; WHY do
you put up with a different teaching?
Yoga
background
Pantheistic View is that the
universe is an emanation of God and He vales himself within physical matter, so
REALITY consists only
of the Universe and Nature. God is in everything, therefore there is a “divine spark”
in nature and within everything and everyone. So man and God are one, with Yoga being “self-worship”
disguised as high level spirituality.
It teaches to focus on one-self instead of the ONE true God.
Yoga
unites opposites; the sun and moon, masculine and feminine, mind and body,
stillness and movement; it is based on the philosophy of REINCARNATION.[6]
Sunyata is a Buddhist
term that means emptiness or void; the idea of “dying”
reaching its finality. Another word is “Moksha”
being a state which is “beyond being”;
it is the destruction of self. Originally
Yoga was more openly understood to be “a way of dying”;
it was a way to escape the constant and never-ending deaths and rebirths of
reincarnation. You are
given countless chances to reach heaven where your personality will ultimately
then be destroyed.
The Book says it is appointed for man to die ONCE, and after that comes the judgment.[7]
Webster’s Dictionary definition of Yoga: A
Hindu theistic philosophy teaching the suppression of all activity of BODY, MIND and SOUL in order that “the self” may realize it’s
distinction from them and attain liberation.
A man who practices Yoga is called a “Yogi”
and a woman is called a “Yogini”.
Yoga simply means discipline, but in the
Sanskrit language the word “yuj” literally means to yoke, join, merge or unite. The question would be; TO WHAT are we yoking, joining or uniting? Yoga teaches that there are two eternal
beings; 1) God,
the infinite being and 2) the individual spirit of a finite being. It
is the union of the “Parramatta”, the universal supreme soul with “atma”
the individual soul; it is the merging of the two into the Cosmic Will. Originally
all spirits dwelt in the consciousness of that Oneness.
The Goal of Yoga is to reach “Kaivalya”;
freedom from the chains of “Karma” which is
what we would call “Cause and Effect” which binds us into
continual REINCARNATION. It is
self-exaltation, realizing one’s own divinity and yoking one’s self with the
universal consciousness. The exercises
are meant to open up your Chakras.
Chakras is your
spiritual energy center and there are SEVEN of them that exist in the body. The first five are located along your spine,
the sixth is the THIRD EYE on your forehead and the seventh is located
on the top of your head called the CROWN CHAKRA.
Kundalini is the awakening
of the latent power of the SERPENT that is coiled at the base of your spine. It RISES UP during deep meditation bringing a person to a “god
consciousness”, allowing the practitioner to EXIT THE BODY and experience higher spiritual realms. No other method of physical activity offers
this opportunity of “transcendence”. (SERPENT POWER)
NOTE: From what I
read; when the coiled serpent reaches the top of the head it will explode into
the so called “Thousand-Petalled
Lotus” and from that point it is almost impossible for the
practitioner to return to any semblance of normality, but will remain in an
induced psychotic state.
(I do not
understand any of this as TRUTH and am only reporting what I have read.)
Sheva the destroyer is
the “Lord of
Yoga” to whom you ultimately yoke, and is the Supreme Being who
creates, protects and transforms the universe.
If you don’t believe me; then look up this perversion.
Yoga Limbs
There are Eight limbs of Yoga
1)
Yamas is restraints: Universal Ethics; non-violence, truthfulness,
non-stealing.
2)
Niyamas is observances:
Principals of self-conduct, study of self, purity, contentment and surrender.
3)
Asanas is worshipful
Hindu Yoga poses; “stretching out in worship,” the
practice of the Postures are offerings to the gods.
4)
Pranayama is breath
control techniques. Prana is the Hindu word for “Life Force”.
The Science of Breath attempts to
manipulate that Life Force Energy. Deep
breathing controls the body and increases mental capacity and develops the spiritual
side of man’s nature. Breathing and meditation is essential so that you will be
accepted by one of the little gods.
Be advised that Satan
is the Prince of the “power” of this AIR
and this spirit is NOW at work in the world.[8]
5)
Pratyahara is the
withdrawal and control of the senses; it is the discipline of the mind, senses
and the physical body in order to obtain spiritual calmness. This concept of
emptying the mind is opposite of the Biblical concept of transforming &
renewing the mind.
6)
Dharana is to obtain
perfect concentration.
7)
Dhyani is meditation to
obtain moral excellence. The Book says to
meditate on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable,
if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, to meditate
on these things.[9]
8)
Samadhi is the
absorption of ethical perfection to a higher consciousness.
More Definitions
Surya namaskara is a salute to
the sun; bowing down to the sun in the east in submission and worship.[10] It is best performed at sunrise; the most
favorable spiritual time of the day. Have you ever attended an Easter sunrise
worship service? Have you ever wondered
where the tradition came from? Don’t get upset until you read the Word
study on Easter.
Bowing; there are over
330,000,000 Hindu gods and when you bow, “Namaste”, you are saying;
“THE GOD IN ME, HONORS THE GOD IN YOU”.
Did you notice that when
President Trump went to China,
HE DID NOT BOW.
The Book says “you shall have no other gods before me”.[11]
Mantras awaken the Self and deepen the meditative aspects of a
physical Yoga practice.[12]
Mantra yoga is an exact science
that is meant to engage the mind through focusing on sound, duration a number of repetitions. They are Hindu words that
you repeat over and over that sound like gibberish to you, but are actually
prayers to a Hindu deity. Chanting or “Om-ing”
usually with fingers made to resemble a circle, is common with the sounds “vibrating your body”, and with many in
the class, it causes the whole room to vibrate.[13]
Astral Travel is when people
have willful OBE
“Out of Body Experiences”
and actually leave their bodies. That
happened to me twice by accident, I don’t even know how. I could look down and see myself in the room
and could even move about outside. The
first time, I struggled quickly to get back into my body, the second time I
stayed out a little longer. I told a
co-worker what I had experienced and she became alarmed and said in no
uncertain terms “NEVER DO THAT AGAIN”, that I was leaving my body open to demonic
possession. I made sure that I NEVER DID THAT AGAIN.
Drinking in
philosophy
The Yoga World View imparts the
viewing of all life as “energy”, it is the viewing of your role as
participation in that “energy”; self-mastery, self-discipline, self-control,
emotion control, body control
& mind control to detach yourself
from the sufferings of the world.[14] This is drinking in the New Age philosophy
with a New World view of meditative techniques of reflexology and philosophical
assumptions that are coming through THE DOOR of physical activity such as Acupuncture, Reflexology, Karate, Jujitsu and of course Yoga.
The Goal of Yoga is the corruption of the Christian Faith and the conversion of the mind to the occult
Pantheistic World View.[15]
Christian Yoga is an Oxymoron; THEY ARE OPPOSITE
The
Take Away
Although Yoga has been around and practiced
for about 3,000 years, it did not become popular in the West until the early
60’s with the Hippies and drug culture and the spread of psychedelic drugs that
offered an expansion of the mind. Drugs
offered altered states of conscience, mind expansion and a search for “spirituality”
without
religious constraints. It was then that the West was introduced to
Yoga where you could CHANGE PERCEIVED REALITY.[16]
New Age is Buddhism and Hinduism which brought
Acupuncture, Homeopathic Medicine, Reflexology and Theories of Energy Flow. (Star Wars; may the force be with you.)
Posturing became offerings to some of the
330 millions of Hindu Gods. You were
taught to fill your mind with nothing and just focus on yourself and find the
god that is within you. The poses of “the cobra”, “the
mountain” and “the greeting of
the sun”, are all designed to
welcome Hindu gods.
I would call this a false religion, wouldn’t you?
Why would Christians want to borrow an
expression; the term Yoga from a false religion? Pantheism believes everything is God, Christians
believe there is only ONE
true God.
The Book says to do everything
to the glory of God; to abstain from postures that are offering to the gods. THIS IS OUR SPIRITUAL WORSHIP; to present our bodies as living
sacrifices that are holy and acceptable. We are not to be conformed to this world, but
transformed by the renewing of our mind.
It is NOT possible
for a Christian
to practice the Eastern philosophies of YOGA
to the glory of
God.
The COILED
SERPENT RISING UP represents a
counterfeit spiritual power trying to find a way to god; for the Christian, the
spiritual way to God is the DOVE COMING
DOWN
from heaven.
If you are a strong Christian, you may
feel that when you practice Yoga, you will not fall prey to the spiritual
deception of Yoga; but what about your example to a weaker Christian who is
watching your lifestyle; Yoga and Hinduism are inseparable.
Feeling a sense of calmness or feeling less stressed is a wonderful
thing, and that’s the HOOK of Yoga. Any part of our life that is not submitted to
Jesus Christ is an OPEN DOOR for the enemy.
When you began to meditate in Yoga,
you are no
longer merely just a physical “posture”;
you are an offering.
Questions;
Will Yoga make
me more Christ like and devoted to Jesus?
Will I be more
filled with the Holy Spirit in prayer and actions?
Will my witness
be bolder and stronger?
Will Yoga help
me to better discern the snares and traps of Satan? [17]
The Book says God will reject
the people who are full of the things of the East;[18] we
are to do everything to the glory of God.[19]
Pat Robertson of the 700 Club Says “When
Christians practice Yoga they must either deny the reality of what Yoga
represents or fail to see the contradictions between their Christian
commitments and their embrace of Yoga; the contradictions are not few, nor are
they peripheral”.
