A Parent's Wish - For My Children

Hindu Wisdom - Yoga

I'm always surprised how many Christians believe Yoga is just a form of exercise. Why not ask and expert?
    "The word yoga is derived from the root yuj, which means to unite or to join together. The practice of yoga may lead to the union of the human with the divine - all within the self. The aim of yoga is the transformation of human beings from their natural form to a perfected form. The Yogic practices originated in the primordial depths of India's past. From this early period the inner attitudes and disciplines which were later identified and given orderly expression by Patanjali." Hindu Wisdom
In very simple language, it's a way to convince yourself through physical movement and techniques you're god. And isn't that the oldest form of idolatry? Good luck getting it out of the tax supported schools that won't even let kids sing Christmas carols for fear of someone falling into prayer and faith.
