Yoga is bad for you ... it may assist you in deviating from the spiritual teachings that you were brought up on. You see, and I paraphrase from The Star newspaper ... the National Fatwa Council will soon come out with a ruling on yoga exercise because lecturer Prof Zakaria Stapa of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Islamic Studies Centre advised Muslims who have taken up yoga to stop practising it as it could deviate from their belief. Check out the report in The Star.
What's yoga ... ? Well, I borrowed this description from Wikipedia. Prof Zakaria probably knows this ... While Yoga evolved as a spiritual practise in Hinduism, in the Modern world, a part of yoga, known as Asana, has grown popular as a form of purely physical exercise. Some Western practice has little or nothing to do with Hinduism or spirituality, but is simply a way of keeping fit and healthy. This is only a part of the broad view of yoga.
A person should have strength in his/her beliefs to choose what's right ... and not have some academician tell them.
Anyway, this is probably a launch for the new school of yoga ... YOGA HALAL (bersenam tanpa was-was). This will then be a Government initiated campaign and launched worldwide with Malaysia being the hub for this new form of exercise.
Oooooommmmmm!
Oooooommmmmm!
