Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Dear All: I was not talking about any conversion at all!! I was saying that with such practices christianity will become part of the hindu practices and the divisions disappear.This has happened before and that was why in the Synod of Diamper, the cardials decided that the early christian community should ot keep hair long, wear arms and the women should dress in a particular way; they were afraid of the absorpion power of INDIA (Not Hinduism). Nora <ashwini_puralasamy wrote: oH my own kochu kochu!!!! well, let me ask you this... If christians start practicing yoga will they be introducing Hinduism into christian thought ? You know and i know and everyone else in this forum knows that 'yoga ' is not some 'physical postures' or asanas and mudras but is actually a spiritual practice seeking 'union with god' ( or Godess) !! RIGHT OR WRONG? does it mean that in course of time all those who do yoga will abandon jesus christ and become a worshipper of Krishna or shakti or shiva? The purpose of all spiritual practices is to reach a state of sat-chit-ananda or truth-bliss-consciousness? right? as the great dalai lama once said... ""It is not necessary to cast away one's spiritual upbringing. Rather, use that as the foundation for further self discovery and expression, drawing from the truths of all great spiritual traditions." WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS? kochu, then by the same token , if followers of all other faiths start practicing 'tantra' ( hindu or buddhist ) will they become converts!!! sure, THEY WILL BECOME CONVERTS -NOT CONVERTS IN THE CONVENTIONAL SENSE - BUT CONVERTS TO A NEW WAY OF THINKING AND UNDERSTANDING! expanded consciousness - where there are no artificial divisions like -hindus , christians etc... but we are all 'ONE' !!! love ..
