Pakistan should embrace yoga for peace: Ravi Shankar Prasad

[ito]

Actually there are three. Muraqiba, Ihtisab, Tazkiyah.

Just like Yoga is a tool for self reflection, those three schools in Islam are meant for the same purpose. Ihtisab & Tazkiyah are like self auditing of one's life and practices while Muraqiba is a subsequent conversation / connection with the creator in absolute solitude for spiritual healing and learning.

For me, spirituality is the same in every religion.

Yoga, as practiced today, is more of an exercise than anything to do with religion. No wonder Yoga is a $100 billion competitive market in the west.

The Indian Yogis and Hindutva lunatics now require a Hindu religious hymn to be recited in Yoga meditation. So thanks but no thanks

Which book of Islam says Yoga is haram? You don't chant the slokas. I believe your Nabi also meditated in the cave.

More over, I have personally done sehri and Aftari with my muslims friends. And there is a village in UP, India Hindus there have fasted with Muslims on first day of Ramzan.

You guys should come out of the iron curtain and see , world has gone very ahead.

Cool story. The problem isn't Yoga but its state sponsorship by a Hindu nationalist govt. I have no issues with people doing it out of free will.

Hindus should start fasting in Ramadan and join us in beef sacrifice. Peace works both ways.

The idea of showing austerity is not limited to Muslims. People who visit Shabarimala are required to abstain from all 'sins' (including alcohol and sex) for more than a month until they are 'pure enough' to visit the shrine. It is not whether a practice belongs to a religion or not that matters, it is whether it does good for you or not.

Molvis won't sponsor it, only a hindu will sponsor it. If there is any problem, then there are private schools , they can do it.

More over in Pakistan, government should sponsor this.

Asserting that yoga as religion neutral, union Minister for IT and Communications Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday urged Pakistan to embrace yoga to bring peace in the country.

"Yoga is religion neutral - 190 countries, including 44 Islamic countries, have agreed that yoga is important for mankind. From China to New York to London, people across the globe are participating in the International Yoga Day," the minister said here.

"Pakistan too had spoken of organising yoga sessions in their country but it stopped it all of a sudden. I would request them to rethink as we feel that yoga would help them bring in peace in their country too," the senior BJP leader said addressing an International Yoga Day event at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) complex here.

Describing yoga as a symbol of mankind, peace and brotherhood, Prasad said, "It would have been better had Pakistan participated in the yoga day celebrations."

"There were some initial initiatives in Pakistan on yoga but it was cancelled at the last moment. It is their matter but it would have been better if they had done it," Prasad told media persons.

Our five time pray is enough for us and we don't need any yoga. Thanks but no thanks

Quran was the last book revealed to us. No other book will be further revealed now..
Please do not talk such things if you respect other religions...
Let Mr. Ghazaliy2k do what he thinks is right and you do yours. But I would suggest you to study and understand the true Islam(It has been shown to world incorrectly) if you can. At the end, I hope you follow the right path otherwise nothing can be done and you are free to live your life anyway you want..sorry for being offtopic..

Namaz is not something like yoga. Or anything like celebration. It is a religious obligation and is a way to come near to Allah for muslims.

Actually Islam stopping such action, which other people feel harsh and we don't need any international forum to do that and over 1.6 Billion people practicing the same. How many yogi are practicing Yoga? Answer that

So, this is limited to Muslims. Yoga is not limited to only Hindus. There is a difference as you said

Does Islam stop to do push ups? Yoga is related to breathing and postures. Even breathing normally is a Yoga Kriya.
