[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Western Christianity has a huge amount of sacred music that is used as a pathway to praising God. That is its purpose. Yet you can still sing that music as an atheist and not be engaged in prayer. You are just singing beautiful music.

And yet that sacred music is still Christian in spirit. Why is everyone missing the point being made on the thread? Everyone can practice yoga and benefit from it. Yet yoga is still Hindu in spirit. Practicing physical yoga doesn't make you Hindu so why is everyone afraid to acknowledge that yoga is Hindu in origin? Afraid or resistant to acknowledge that yoga was developed, nurtured, and protected by Hindus all these thousands of years? If it wasn't for Hindus practicing and preserving the asanas all these thousands of years, it would've been lost to time like so many others. And so then why is it unreasonable for Hindus to say yoga is Hindu? Just about every Hindu scripture including Gita mentions yoga numerous times in their texts.

Go ahead and practice and enjoy the many benefits of yoga. It's a gift from Hindus to the world.
