In India everything now a days can see through only communal way. If it good or not anything belongs to 'Bharathiya' or Indian origine is part of Indian culture belongs Hindu Culture that is where we are living. If you consider as a Hindusthani, or Bharathia, or Indian we are all part of it. all other religions are came from out side. But as a secular democratic country all citisen can live their on faith and belief. But one thing is comon we are all Indans. So the culture is the same. The Political parties diveded people for their vote bank benifits minority community and majority community. Whatever they say for you special status for minorities its all for votes. Nothing happend too the conditions of poor people the same political party ruled this country half a century now they trying to divide the people majority and minirty for mere benifit of minority vote bank. But poor religious thinking people falling down in their tricks. They are not thinking if they are still in poor condition why should they supporting the same parties mainly reason for this situation since last 50 years. otherwise why this political parties not saying all poor people should be up lifted. for poor no religion they are all poor humen being. same blood..same food.. all poor indians.
This Yoga or Surya Namaskara issue also serve the same object of the minority vote bank. its a good excersise for all humen being. If dosent like, or any religious compelsion to not to do it, simple just dont do it. Its only volentary.. so diside yourself and keep away. But better do not try to block others willing to do it. Who ever like to keep fit themselves or want their kids keep fit let them do it. dont give any religeos colors. Think like and Indian.. Bharathia, or hindusthani. we are all one nation. Jai Hind.

surya namaskar is a very good exercise to keep childern fit, i suggest to educational bodies just change the name "SURYA NAMASKAR", we can call it by other name so the rest of the controvcy will be no longer.

There are millions of exercise to keep us fit.The NAMAAZ is a complete exercise of the body as well!There are many medical benefits of Abulation and Namaaz besides Spiritual.Lets all start offering Namaaz but we can also change its name so that it is no longer controversial!
Moreover people of western countries donot practise surya namaskar nor do the Arabs, Chinese, Malays and the Koreans.However they are no less fit than our Indian brothers who practise surya namaskar!!!
Instead of offering Namaskar to sun god lets offer our gratitude to the ''One God'' who created the ''Sun God''

1. Is the 'one God' inferior to the Sun? If not, why not worship the Sun? 2. Do some yoga and see the difference - it will make you a better human being and kill the meaningless hatred inside you?

And by the way, the Chinese, koreans, europeans, americans, latins, etc, do not do namaaz. Yet, they are very fit - and they use their energy to make better systems that work. They don't use their energies to blow up aircraft and buildings and people.

Do/don't do Namaskarams , its upto you , but we can't always do what others are doing..sometimes we need out own ways of doing...if so we need to give up democracy (like china and Arabs_)..start funding AlQuidaa's...etc etc...have own brain ..
