Yoga : Against Islamic Law,thank you for defining yoga

[Guest guest]

-Divine self,

I am grateful to the islamic mufti for his statements

on yoga.

he uses the words Ascetic, hindu religion, exercise

and worship, none of which have anything to do with

real yoga .

such statements help us to define yoga better.

Narasimhan
