[Assam] Swami Ramdev is coming to Silchar for Yoga Science camp

[umesh sharma]

Although i dnt support his miracel makings or the way he teaches yoga, keeping the olden track out of line, I only support him for bringing Indian feelings amongst public of India as well out of the country.Might be he is illeterate,but clever enough and rich enough!

Bikash-da,

I think it is wrong to label Yoga as Indian, just as it would be wrong to consider Santa Claus and reindeers is a western product. Yoga is for all though its principles may have been developed in the region which the British started calling India.

In the summer break after my 10th class/grade exams I read a newly purchased book (my father's) while traveling thru 5 cities in 7 days (incl. holy Vrindavan, terror ridden Punjab - by bus despite terrorists' daylight attacks on buses). I still kept on reading the book - it was life changing. Here it is - the man who popularized Yoga in the West. Vivekanand had just introduced the concept. Yoganand provided the real details including the concept of Yogi-Christ etc. 
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramahansa_Yogananda

Then during my 12th grade exams  I read another book - this time by an American - the power of positive thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. I needed that perspective while leaving home for college. That was a kind of Yoga too - though written by a Christian priest. 

Yoga has become a world concept - but just like in India - many just to the asanas - Pranayama can be dangerous unless done properly, meditation can be boring/challenging, listening to inner voice can be tricky (as per Peale), invoking the chakras can be an exercise in futility. 

However, you don't need gurus like Ramdev to teach you. God can be one's guru too!! If you believe in one. Do you?
