Why to worry abt it. Practice PRANAYAM AND YOGA and become NIROGA; it is a fact that maximum number of people above 60 yrs are going for YOGA and/or PRANAYAM; the result is visible; of course we can beat the record of US in this category. Moreover, we can save billions of rupees for healthcare and divert it to Education and other infrastructures.. Vande Mataram

Good point! While some of us maybe apprehensive or plain cynical - I know a few people who have benefitted significantly by attending Art of Living and Swami Ramdev's sessions.

Yes,this is a good way to avoid lots of problems.Also the goverment as well as NGOs need to work to establish Ayurveda in the right spiriy.Not just people getting BAMS degrees & then practicing allopathy.

An average physically challenged has to spend about minimum 25 lakhs to convert his disabilities into abilities by buying assistive devices like wheelchairs,accessible car,hospital beds,accessible house etc. There are other medical expenses,physiotherapy & caregiver charges. If physically challenged gives up looking at cost his life becomes rotten. There are many physically challenged spending this money to live descent life.. also Indian companies are helping them in big way. Ask for yourself if u were sufferer & someone comes to u saying its useless to spend on u..Do pranyam ..is it fair? Every citizen has to be equal ...Dont discriminate..

If it is nothing about religon then why there is nothing like it in other religons. By saying that yoga has nothing to do with "Hinduism" is nothing but denigrating a important aspect of Hindu culture and people who are saying this are original "Pseodosecularists"

Please do not hijack a 'healthy' (pun intended) discussion by injecting slanted/oblique references to religion.

you have your balls twisted badly on this one. there was nothing ever religious about yoga. it's just that the various postures have sanskrit terminologies and because it is an Indian body exercise regimen practiced often outdoors - various aspects of the body in relation to nature are included in these terms. however, as the Hindu scriptures are also set down in sanskrit, and the fact yoga evolved uniquely in india, some people have wrongly come to think of it as having Hndu religious roots.
because it has no religious basis, yoga is a very popular and inexpensive body exercise and relaxation regimen in the West.
to say other nations or cultures do not have their own exercise regimens, shows your ignorance. there is tai chi in China, judo in Japan, capoera in Brazil etc, etc.
