Clear evidence of saffron agenda

I blame the UGC. Chanting OM or any other such Slokas while performing Yoga is not true. UGC's foolishness is cleanly visible in this case. I'm a regular practitioner of Yoga. I never chant OM. Chanting of OM has health benefits. While chanting OM, all the openings of Ear, Nose an throat are opened and cures all the ailments related to Ear, Nose and throat. Above all OM is not connected with any religion or sect.Hence the question of forcing Hindutva is mere fallacy I know many Muslims performing Yoga.

Chanting of Om during Yoga is purely voluntary. Even if it is in the circular it is a suggestion. There is no compulsion on anyone to do yoga or chant OM. Let us not stretch secularism too much for it to rupture. The Hindus and Muslims who come on TV debates are doing a disservice to yoga and Hinduism. Yoga is a contribution of Hindus and they have a right to propagate it as they see it fit. Those who do not like it can keep away from it.

There is no need to thrust Hindutva in India which is after all a Hindu nation and Hinduism  is there around us and all over the place, like it or not... More and more reasons emerge to give up on this sham of communalism in the name of secularism that our country was forced to practice for so many years and let people decide what exactly they want ..

Yoga has no religion. It has the universal  appeal. Even in foreign countries too Yoga is favored irrespective of the religion.

In these day it is practice and some person are habitual of association every thing which have connection with Hindu, saffron. For these person saffron color is only used by Hindus.

 

 

In all Yoga classes the chanting of Om is given due importance but I have not heard of any other shlokas at least in a couple of Yoga camps I attended. However it is clearly written in this article that it is not mandatory so where is the saffron agenda? T !his is a true case of making mountain out of a mole hill

Even as an official of the Ministry of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) clarified that participants were not mandated to chant “Om” or the shlokas, political parties reacted strongly...

Some persons don't try to understand that all therapies are for the betterment of human being. It is not fair to associate these with religion. It coming they may be associate Ayurveda with Hindus and give it new name saffron therapy..

LOL. Yes, some ignorant people may call all therapies of India as Saffron therapies. It is a shame. Yoga is born in India. Owing to ignorance, people of India do not know the significance of Yoga and OM.

 

Now all the people of India do not know significance of yoga and Om. Great observation. Feeling sleepy perhaps.

I guess there is an overdose of Yoga here and on the net because everyone speaks about it as if they are an expert on Yoga ! Yoga is personal and if one wants to chant OM , which by the way is very rejuvenating because you have to chant it in a certain way that clears your entire respiratory system, it is their choice , if not it is again their choice , but they miss out on something beneficial for themselves !

Definitely there is an overdose of Yoga. And it should be. Because of it's health benefits, Yoga is gaining importance all over the World. Especially in America, where my youngest daughter lives. There, the Indian settlers maintain Yoga classes. Yoga experts from India are invited to conduct the classes.

Yoga has several Health benefits. One can achieve an all- round fitness with simple Yoga Asanas without expending a Dime. I myself am a regular yoga practitioner since 25 years. Now, if I'm a hale and healthy even in my 70 plus years, it's due to Yoga.

Coming to chanting of OM, also called as Pranva Mantra has many health benefits. If it is chanted in the prescribed way according to Veda, It opens all the points related to Ear, Nose and throat. Owing to this quality, uttering OM helps in preventing all ENT related ailments.

Saints are never honored in their countries. So yoga is becoming popular in USA because migrant Indians suddenly want to bond with the country they have run away from so that they can at least have an identity of their own. 

Yoga is the boon given to the world by India. Such invaluable boon, that's born in India is being neglected by none other than Indians. In this regard Indians who settled in America and other countries have given yoga, what it deserves.

What makes you state that yoga is neglected by Indians in India?

Yoga by itself cannot give fitness and good health to anyone unless they also take healthy diet and follow a healthy lifestyle like they have to do with any fitness regime. The only difference is that it is Indian and we feel proud of the fat that it has spread to many countries and people there realise that Yoga too is as good an exercise form as others.

In good humour, you are right it has spread fat in many countries.

yoga has no religion and the people should understand on their own
