Yes Shri Anand, that was interesting...
It is pathetic to see how certain sanatana dharmis try to delink certain practices from their roots just to show a modern face to the world... or perhaps, it is just that they have found a way to mint money... it is business as usual.
Thanks,
saptha,
do you mean chopra is pathetic?
re money minting, both chopra and shukla are into making money. nothing wrong with that, is there?
though i am a follower of neither, don't you think, that there is enough space in the world for both of them?
even shukla has clearly stated that the last thing he wants is to revert yoga to a hindu-only activity by painting religiosity over each of its individual asanas.
so, i do not understand why he is so upset that other faiths are incorporating into their practices. even if yoga is shorn of many of its outwardly hindu originated practices, is it not an acknowledgement to the indian culture and tradition for people to copy it. after all what better form of flattery is there.
finally, i am not so sure, that shunning money for the principle's sake is good. money can be a handy tool to do so much good. in the right hands, more things can be wrought through money than one can ever dream of.
i still see not much point of discussion between shukla and chopra. they are too much like tweedledee and tweedledum. or may this is a public joust for the sake of entertainment? in which case, let us be careful not to get too excited. :noidea:
