But Pope Benedict XVI is not at all happy about the large number of Christians practicing yoga. Recently he gave this warning: “Yoga can degenerate into the cult of the body.”
Authentic Christians are to stand against evil, not engage in it!
Mantra meditation is unbiblical. Moreover, it matters not what Doug Pagitt has observed, yoga meditation can be dangerous.
I’ve got a couple of questions for CY practitioners. Do you really know what you’re talking about? (1 Tim. 1:7) Are you teaching yoga to build up the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:10-12)?
For those who desire to keep in shape join a stretch class! Or take a long walk and while walking, pray! And remember, “Friendship with the world is hatred toward God.” Jesus tells us, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”
Consistency was never a virtue of the global church. The Hindu response should be on the lines of - BACK OFF, christist bigots. Leave Yoga alone and go back to worshipping the mutilated corpse of a dead Arab on a stick or better yet, start worshipping a freaking Hot dog on a stick.

You know, unpalatable as it sounds at first thought, I think that Hindus should agree with this line of thinking (that yoga is unchristian). And propogate the view that all practioners of yoga are automatic converts to Hinduism and cannot seek the mythical Christ anymore. Saying "OM" the first time is like being baptised. You automatically enter a cycle of birth and rebirth until you merge with the infinite. If it works, that might set of some fireworks ;) that might be beneficial to Hinduism. Food for thought?

Much needed positivism from Brownian Motion.
Getting agitated gets us nothing.
It’s a good thing. Let that loony shout loud and hard so that no stealth christist can hijack Yoga and say it was “invented” by Jesus, the mythological figure.
