Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Dear Sadhak pariwar Yes...it true....the super natural power is one. That power has emerged to earth at different places, different countries through the medium of prophets/guru/god/godess to educate the human beings for uderstanding in their own language. Wel have attached our own names, meanings and etc to that supernatural power. In what ever the way we practice to pray the Super Natural Power is the same. One and all should follow or practice their most loving practice to reach/merge in that power. It is most welcome to search for a path to reach that goal, instead of wasting time in comparing different sects. I sincerely tender my apolagy to one and all, I do not mean to hurt any one's feelings. Yours sincerely RajendraPrasad sankara menon <kochu1tz > wrote: "eko satyaH viprAH bahudhA vadanti".

All people chant 'Ham Sa" Yoga is more than breathing, because some creature breathes he is not a Yogi. whenever they breathe. Hindus are not the only people to Breathe. To say that only Hindus > can practice Yoga is like saying that only Christians can know God. To fully benefit from Yoga one should practice the physical Asanas and not negelect the spiritual aspects. > The biggest downfall of the modern Christian reilgion today is that Intellectual ideas get in > the way of a relationship with God.

Yoga is alien to Christianity if Christians can benefit from Yoga it is up for the Christians to decide. If Hindus give advice though, about one of their own traditions it would be wise to heed that advice and also a sign of respect towards the tradition they take from. > I am a little surprised to hear some of my fellow hindus getting bogged down in > intellectual definitions and (sorry to say) sounding a little superior. Please if you could be so kind, state who wrote what and why you considered who to be "sounding superior" and why and who you think is getting bogged down with what kind of intellectual definitions, so that we have the chance to clear your doubts. Otherwise it is only a general insult against all of us.
