Modern Yoga - Distortion of a Sacred Hindu Practice

[@plmnjioqazzsw7962]

Yoga Certificates are the biggest joke and the fact that anybody is able to open a ashram and do whatever they want .

[@AlvarM]

this is so true and then years later people come out and denounce ashrams ran by unscrupulous individuals for all sorts of abuse...

[@AlvarM]

It's very refreshing to hear a Hindu person speak about this subject. The thing is meditation ≠ yoga, the fact that other cultures practiced meditation techniques doesn't mean they practiced yoga. Yoga is Indian and should always be studied within that understanding.

[@adityasaigal8080]

Europeans and westerners have always done the same thing since centuries. They pick up the knowledge and practice which suits there cult and lifestyle and then change it under there language and then claim it as there's. They did the same with sanskrit, ayurveda, psychology, yog, and with many more subjects and areas.

Yog became Yoga when Yam and Niyam are ignored and not followed. Similarly, Arya becomes Aryan when Dharma is ignored and not followed.

but we have to put the efforts to reclaim our heritage, our dharm,our culture,and whatever belongs to us, we should remember that after the two colonial periods of unprecedented torture, loot, subjugation, brutality were over and we have got so called independence ,that was not the real freedom as those who were transferred the power to were either proxies of their masters or in direct hate and enmity with whatever we could call and belongs to Hindu Dharm ,its followers and we actually were colonized by new invaders known as communist/leftist in the form of modernist/liberals, hence even after independence the process of restoration were never carried out by those who were in the owner and whose responsibility its was and contrary o that they did everything to dismantle and demolish every pillar of Hindu dharm be it , Sadhus, Temples , Cows, knowledge of our scripture ,did everything to keep masses from their roots and brainwashed them against their own dharm, roots ,history so much so that next generation started to look down upon themselves and hate their legacy, history,ancestors,scriptures and started to look westwards for inspiration which was the end goal of these new colonizers ,in which they got succeeded , and whenever they got opposition that was crushed ruthlessly like their former masters did in past ,hence we still are colonized which has to be freed first then we can establish the dharm rashtra and then only we will be able to reclaim whatever belong to us and will guide the world with proper references and meaning of our scriptures, yog, ayurved and so on and do not say that our dharm is not organised or centralized ,it is very much there in fact it is centralize yet gives the freedom to make it decentralize to each and everyone keeping the basic rule intact and that is Dharm but we have lost the power to make other follow the dharm which was not in the past as kings were there to enforce that on ground and Brahmans as a learned man was there to guide the king for dharm , we ourselves lost the true meaning of dharm and falsely equate it with Abrahamic concepts of Religion which is our gross mistake , we should stop looking at us from western and Abrahamics lens and judges our Dharm as per religious criteria and we should openly say that Dharm is incomparable,on contrary we should openly call out the falsehood of these Abrahamic religions and advocate them to behave as per the principles of Dharm rather other way around and without stepping on ground with force and zeal to sacrifice for Dharm,this will never be possible, we would have to establish Dharm on ground ,this nation still is being governed by the Abrahamic concepts in the garb of democracy and secularism ,that is why we are behaving like clueless and headless chicken on any issue regarding our own legacy and Dharm...Har Har Mahadev

This was bound to happen when Yog never got the recognition among masses in native land. Pseudo experts took over the practice without understanding the cultural and religious nuances. Yoga without Hindu practices should be derecognised. Stop saying Yoga has nothing to do with religion. It is a practice born in Sanatana Dharma.

Thanks for covering this

[@extemporaneous4545]

Well, you have no one to blame but Hindu yogis like Swami Vivekananda, Yogananda and Mahashri Mahesh Yogi who went round teaching yoga to anyone who was interested or anyone who would pay. It should have been taught only to those outsiders who deeply believed in Hinduism and followed its practices, but no, it was taught like it was bike riding to all and sundry. And this is the result. Why blame the West for its mindset? Blame those who knew the ancient injunctions against spreading secret sacred knowledge to undeserving people, and still did it. And these are the people we hold in high esteem today. The Hindus are forever simps.

[@jeevankumar1082]

Dude..there are always things unfamiliar to people we should introduce new knowledge then only it will get a spotlight....anything that goes global has problems..so does yoga

[@EldhoseJoseph]

As a non Hindu, agree with u, especially last line.

[@extemporaneous4545]

@@NonExistentNone Go reread my comment. I did not say don't teach Hindu practices and philosophy to non-Hindus. I said there were ancient injunctions against teaching these to undeserving ones. And in ancient times everyone was Hindu in Bharath, (the Jains followed their own ways) so these injunctions applied to those who were born Hindu. People had to be rigorously tested before they could qualify. Some had to wait years, and maybe receive a few drops. Some, as soon as they stood before the guru, would be told to leave, because enlightened ones have the ability of looking at a person's inner tejas, and knowing what they would be capable of. Each student was taught during that lifetime only what he or she could handle, and this was showing mercy, because if someone is loaded with information they can't process, especially spiritual information, they could collapse, mentally and emotionally. I've seen it happen to one guy, and another guy told me that that was what happened to him too. So conversely, if you were selected according to the same criteria, you might have been one of the deserving ones, and so deserving of being taught. And similarly undeserving Hindus today should also not be taught. But today it's all about who can pay, and this is the result.

[@garhwalidude]

All this has happened because this is how our swamis propogated so the foreigners , Swamis propagated Yoga as some Exercises to keep you fit instead as a Doctrine . If it was propagated as a doctrine like an MBBS or engineering course then these distortions would not have happened .

Pick a lane. India spreads it as secular exercise. And when others chime in, adopt it and propagates, these voices come deriding the benevolent adopters and cry the demise of religion. As a non Hindu I practice yogic asanas (as I know the religious underpinning of yoga and I refrain from it). If ur so troubled with others adopting and modifying it, blame Indian govt first who sold otherwise. Let the world know the religious background, but then "world yoga day" will cease to exist and diplomatic "soft power" lies would be called out. I see yogic asanas as another flexibility and revitalizing exercise. Nothing more. Whatever extra should be restricted to Hindu community.

[@eyeinfinite27]

This channel is run by professional rudaalis. And rank ignoramuses. They make you laugh. First of all learn to differentiate between darshan/philosophy, dharma/religion (loose translation), parampara (tradition) and sanskriti (culture). Yoga has different meaning in all 4 - Yoga Darshan (as in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra), Yoga Dharma (Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga etc in Bhagavad Geeta), Yoga Parampara (basically extinct from household Hindu traditions) and Yoga Sanskriti (whatever you find everywhere around you). The last - sanskriti - keeps changing and doing whatever it does and nobody can stop it. There is nothing sanatana/timeless about it. Your sanskriti and parampara cannot be sanatana but you are holding on to all sorts of rituals and superstitions and colonial practices - like ghoonghat - in name of traditions and that explains the state you find yourself in. You still have darshan and dharma intact in your books but how many of us bother to looks at Patanjali's yoga sutras and Yogeshwar Krishna's Bhagavad Geeta? No, you don't want to do that. That takes character; that takes effort and love. You are cheap and you want it cheap - you just want to hold on to your misogyny and superstitions in name of traditions and feel proud about yourself without doing anything good. And you want to keep crying about sanskriti because that suits your victimhood agenda. And what sanskriti are you talking about? Your language is filled with foreign influences, your kurta-pajama and so-called ethnic dresses have Middle-Eastern influence, your cuisine - anything having chilli, tomato, potato - has Mexican influence (brought in by Portugese). You guys are ignorant, hateful and ridiculous. Go to Bhagavad Geeta - you will find peace there, and knowledge, and all good things you know nothing about.

[@deadlyninja8391]

Bro, the channel is trying to say Yoga's goal of self enquiry has been changed to mere body exercises for instagram likes. It's devoid of its spirtiual roots as well as now its being said that Yoga is not a Hindu practise.This will lead to degradation& digestion of hinduism. Hinduism will only be left with caste, curry & cow then if you strip away all the good things from it.
