Yoga
by O G VARGHESE on Oct 18, 2005 06:02 PM

Krishnamurti is a good yogi. The Christians who object to their children being taught yoga (to the extent of physical exercises) are not very wise. Yogic exercises are certainly good for the body, a disciplined body, of which Mr.Krishnamurti is a fine example. I am a christian, have practised different forms of yogas including that of Mr.Krishnamurti.
But U cannot attain Atman through physical yoga; first U get your body cleansed, then Ur nerves are cleansed, then your mind is cleansed through pranayama, followed by cleansing the Ego and attain the soul. But,even the air we breath is pulluted! So there is no hope of cleansing your nerves & the mind.
A Yogi has no religion, He worships only the Paramatma or Parabrahma. Patanjali concludes his Yogic Sutras by saying,....'by getting rid of "that ego" which identifies one, he attains Purusha. And by the grace of the Supreme Soul also, that is possible.......'
