Through the influence of celebrities and social media, yoga has re-entered the Western world. I wrote re-entered, because in the eighties yoga was also a hype. Many people considered yoga beneficial for their health (body and mind) and traveled all the way to India to learn and practice yoga. Днес, many people practice yoga for various reasons, like relaxation, stress and anxiety relief, burn-out recovery, депресия, физическо упражнение, загуба на тегло, и така нататък. According to CDC (юни 2024), приблизително 55,78 million people in the United States practiced yoga in 2022. За съжаление, many people don’t know what yoga is and are ignorant about the origin of yoga. They don’t consider yoga dangerous or occult, but safe, безвреден, and beneficial for both mental and physical health. Should Christians practice yoga or Christian yoga according to the Bible or is yoga a sin? What is the spiritual danger of yoga that many people are not aware of?
What does the word yoga mean?
The word ‘yoga’ derives from the Sanskrit word ‘Yuj’, и означава: ‘yoke’, да (повторно)unite, to connect.
What is yoga?
Yoga is a system of physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation for attaining physical or mental control and well-being. The main goal of yoga is to unite the soul (дух) with the body and empty yourself.
Yogis and yoga practitioners speak about the spirit and how the spirit must unite with the body. Но истината е, че, that as long as a person is not роден отново in Jesus Christ the spirit is still dead. A person has a soul and a physical body.
Обаче, the soul possesses great power. When someone practices yoga, the power in the soul is generated. People think it’s spiritual power, докато в действителност, it’s soul power.
In modern society, yoga is considered a system of physical postures (Упражнения), breathing techniques, и медитация, to obtain and/or improve physical and mental health and relaxation. People don’t consider yoga as part of an Eastern religion or philosophical way of living.
More and more лекари и психолози refer patients to yoga places. They don’t see the danger of yoga, but they consider yoga a therapy to improve mental and physical health. Обаче, because they don’t discern the spiritual realm, they are not aware of the spiritual danger of yoga. Те не знаят, that their patients will not be healed at all but open themselves to the dangers of yoga.
If they only knew the truth about yoga and its spiritual roots and the danger of yoga, they would stop immediately referring their patients to yoga institutions.
What are the types of yoga?
There are many types of yoga, like classical yoga, hatha yoga, Laya yoga, Jnana yoga, bhakti yoga, Bikram yoga, Sivananda yoga, karma yoga, viniyoga, Ashtanga yoga, kundalini yoga, hot yoga, restorative yoga, Jivamukti yoga, tantric yoga, Kripalu yoga, Ananda yoga, cardiac yoga, Anusara yoga, bahaya yoga, white lotus yoga, dream yoga, laughter yoga, integral yoga, anti-gravity yoga, Iyengar yoga, naked yoga, yoga gymnosophy, power yoga, svaroopa yoga, yin yoga, zen yoga, и така нататък.
What is the origin of yoga?
Yoga has its roots in Hinduism. Yoga originated from Hinduism and is still part of Hinduism. The physical postures are (or derived from) worship poses to gods. Hinduism has hundreds of gods. Every exercise worships a Hindu god. Almost every yoga session starts by worshipping the sun-god Surya.
Като християнин, ти знаеш, that there is only one God; Създателят of the Heavens and the Earth.
The Bible says that you should worship Him alone and no other god. Because the other gods are no gods.
Behind the Hindu gods are demons.
When you do a yoga pose, you worship a demon and connect yourself to this demon.
When you worship a demon (дявол, evil spirit), you give the demon access to your life. Because you worship the demon, and bow down to him. Through worship and bowing down to him, you acknowledge the demon as a god (as lord), and connect yourself with him.
Since yoga derived from Hinduism and the yoga poses (yoga exercises) derived from channeling with spirits, you can’t separate yoga from Hinduism.
You can’t separate yoga from the religion of Hinduism and its spiritual roots, despite what people say. Много хора казват, yoga is just stretching. Но истината е, че, that yoga is not just stretching. Yoga is not just a physical exercise that supposed to be beneficial for your body, but yoga is part of a pagan religion and has spiritual roots in the occult.
Can you separate yoga from Hinduism and the physical exercises of yoga from the spiritual roots?
You can’t separate yoga from Hinduism and the physical exercises of yoga from its spiritual roots, because yoga has its roots in Hinduism. It doesn’t matter if people give other designations. The truth is that yoga is and will always remain the worship of strange Hindu gods through worship posses (yoga poses, Упражнения). Or as is written in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, yoga is a Hindu theistic philosophy that teaches the suppression of all activity of body, ум, и ще, so that the ‘self’ may realize its distinction from them and attain liberation.
You can’t separate the physical practice (stretching exercises) from the spiritual in yoga.
Although there are many types of yoga and derivatives of yoga, те всички derive from Hinduism and has its spiritual roots in the occult.
What are the seven chakras of yoga?
When you practice yoga, there are several levels you can reach. има 7 levels in total. These levels are called chakras. Every time you practice and control a certain amount of physical yoga postures (Упражнения) and breathing techniques, you unlock a chakra.
Например, you start with your belly. When you practice breathing exercises and do certain physical postures, you unlock the first chakra.
When you unlock the first chakra, you will experience some kind of physical energy. After you have unlocked the first chakra, you continue with the second chakra, then the third chakra, the fourth chakra, и т.н.. You continue until you have unlocked all seven chakras.
The last chakra is the crown chakra; your head, that controls your tongue. When you’ve opened the seventh chakra, you will be able to communicate in the spiritual realm and be able to speak in other tongues.
This counterfeit of speaking in other tongues originates from the devil and not from God. The devil always copies God, because the devil wants to be like God. But this speaking in tongues is influenced by demonic powers, who use your tongue to speak.
When you have opened all 7 chakras of your body, you have completely emptied yourself. By this time, you think that you control your body and your mind. Обаче, истината е, that by opening the last chakra, you have given your soul and body to the devil. You have given your life completely to the devil (богът на този свят) and his demons.
What you must know before entering the spiritual realm
It can be very dangerous when you enter the spiritual realm from your soul (плът) in your own authority. Because you don’t have any authority by yourself in the spirit realm. You enter illegally and therefore you have no protection at all.
Когато влезете в духовната сфера от душата си, you move into the occult and open yourself to evil spirits (демони) that enter and attack you in the flesh; твоята душа, and your body. (Прочетете също: Какви са двата начина да влезете в духовната сфера?).
This could happen immediately, but it doesn’t have to. В много случаи, it will take a while, before these evil spirits will manifest themselves in your life.
The more you open yourself through natural means (дихателни упражнения, медитация, yoga physical exercises, и т.н.) to the spiritual realm and to these evil spirits, the worse the attacks will be.
When you practice yoga, you enter the spiritual realm in your own authority. Бавно, depending on the exercises and the level you are operating in, you open yourself to evil spirits that enter your life and take you captive.
Каква е опасността от йога?
The danger of yoga is, that by practicing breathing exercises (breathing through the belly), physical postures (Упражнения), и медитация, you invite the Hindu gods that are in reality demons (зли духове) into your life. You will bow down to demons and worship them and identify and devote yourself to them.
The danger of yoga is, that when you unlock the seventh chakra, you will be taken captive by demons, независимо дали искате или не. You have invited these demons yourself and have given them access to your life and they accepted your invitation. Now that they have entered your life, they will take over and control your life.
Maybe you don’t like this truth about the hidden spiritual danger of yoga and say, “But I didn’t know that” or “I didn’t want that”. Е, unfortunately, the devil and his demons don’t care whether you knew this or not or what your intentions were or still are.
The fact is that you worshipped devils freely, by bowing down to them. Ти си този, who gave them access to your life. Through your ignorance and lack of knowledge, they have taken possession of your mind (душа) and your body. (Прочетете също: Можете ли да отделите духовните от източните философии и практики??).
Should Christians practice yoga or is yoga a sin?
Christians should not practice yoga and engage with pagan worship and move into the occult, because idolatry is a sin. Бог е много ясен в Неговото Слово! In both the Old Testament and the New Testament God warned His children to abstain from idolatry and witchcraft and any other pagan religion with its doctrine and worship rituals.
Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, или това е в земята под, или това е във водата под земята. Да не им се кланяш, нито да ги служи, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God(Изход 20:4-5)
Бог каза, that through липса на знания, His people are destroyed. This is absolutely true! When God said that you shouldn’t bow down to other gods and worship them, nor become a partaker of pagan religions or philosophies of the Gentiles, you should listen to God. You should obey His Word (Библията), instead of disobeying and rejecting the truth and instruction of His Word.
It’s already bad enough that unbelievers that don’t know God and live separated from Him, are misled by all these lies to practice yoga for health benefits, релаксация, стрес, and anxiety relief, намиране на вътрешен мир, improving posture, improving breathing, muscle flexibility, загуба на тегло, и така нататък.
But they are carnal and live in darkness. Следователно, they can’t discern the spirits and see the spiritual danger of yoga.
Но фактът, that Christians also believe these lies and don’t discern the spirits and don’t see the spiritual danger of yoga, but succumb to this yoga trend and practice yoga and worship through their exercises pagan deities is unbelievable!
The reason why many Christians don’t see the danger of yoga and succumb to yoga, thinking it’s alright to practice yoga, is because they they are not truly born again. They confess Jesus as their Lord, but they don’t know Him at all. They don’t know the true Word, Jesus Christ the Son of the living God. (Прочетете също: Един фалшив Исус създава фалшиви християни).
How can you confess Jesus Christ with your mouth and at the same time participate in Hinduism by practicing yoga? How can you confess Jesus Christ, while bowing down before Hindu gods (демони) and worship pagan deities (Идоли)? Невъзможно е!
If you’re born again and your spirit is raised from the dead, how can’t you see the spiritual danger of yoga?
What are the lies that Christians use to justify and Christianize yoga?
A lot of people, които наричат себе си християни, don’t see the spiritual danger of yoga but practice yoga. These name Christians consider yoga as harmless physical exercises that benefit your health and flexibility. They are worldly and have a carnal mind and try to justify yoga by Christianizing Йога.
These name Christians say, that during yoga they worship Jesus (Синът) instead of the sun. They use their yoga time for meditation on Bible verses. Те казват, that trough their physical movements they connect with God. Through yoga exercises, breathing techniques, и медитация, they pray to Jesus and worship Him. What nonsense!
It’s the same nonsense as when a group of young people goes to clubs every weekend, dancing and drinking alcohol, казвайки (лъжа) that they go to the clubs to evangelize and convert people.
Когато влезете в територията на дявола, the devil takes possession of you. There is no discussion about whether you want to or not. This also applies to yoga and all types of yoga and derivates of yoga, including power yoga, and pilates. (Although there are people, who say that pilates isn’t a derivative form of yoga. However the originator of pilates moved in the occult and was interested in Eastern practices (e.g. Йога, бойни изкуства), zen Buddhism, and animal movements, and incorporated principles and practices thereof in Contrology (Pilates)).
Behind all the Hindu gods is the devil. You sit upon the devil’s yoga mat and worship his minions (демони).
What are the negative side effects of yoga?
The negative side effects of yoga may not be experienced immediately. When you practice yoga, you may feel different and experience a change. This can be a positive change or a negative change. Many times you feel a little bit better and feel relaxed after a yoga session. You may experience some physical and mental health improvements, но това ще е само временно.
After some time of practicing yoga, you will experience the negative side effects of yoga. You will experience a change in your physical and mental state; in your body, ум (начина, по който мислиш), поведение, and character. You may experience the following things:
- You may become less tolerant, лесно се дразни, егоисти, and experience more negative feelings, like jealousy, омраза, гняв, etc towards others, which you can’t control.
- You may be overwhelmed with negative thoughts about yourself and negatively see yourself.
- You’ll become fearful, несигурен, and anxious and suddenly start to have panic attacks.
- You experience unclean sexual thoughts
- You start hearing inner voices or voices in your head, казвам ти какво да правиш.
- You have difficulty sleeping and experience insomnia.
- You’ll become overwhelmed by negative feelings, like feelings of depression and suicidal thoughts
- When you are happily married, suddenly you begin to see your spouse in a different negative way. You become annoyed and irritated by your spouse. You have more arguments and fights, causing your marriage to end up in a развод.
- You used to be energetic, but after practicing yoga you constantly feel tired
- You used to be healthy, but now you are often sick or are diagnosed with a (смъртоносно) disease like cancer
- …
All these demonic activities can be a fruit of yoga in your life.
Does Christian yoga exist?
Не, Christian yoga does not exist! There is no such thing as Christian yoga, holy yoga, Christian chair yoga, Yahweh yoga or Tikva in the Kingdom of God nor is Christian yoga a practice of faith or inspired by the Holy Spirit. Despite what people that call themselves Christians say or despite what people practice in the church.
The truth is that Christian yoga, holy yoga, Yahweh yoga, or Tikva is the same as yoga and derive from Hinduism and is occult.
You may try to justify and Christianize yoga, by putting the word ‘Christian’ before yoga, speaking a few religious words, meditating on scriptures, and praying in your mind during a yoga session, but the breathing and physical exercises remain the same. Следователно, you still worship the Hindu gods; demons and commit idolatry, which is a sin.
Putting the word ‘Christian’ in front of something and Christianizing a pagan activity or Eastern religion or philosophy, doesn’t make it alright, approved, and justified to God.
Истината е, че, when Christians want to practice yoga, it shows that they are not born again but they are still carnal and belong to the world. Because they still love the world and the things of the world.
Since they are carnal, they want to participate in the trends of the world and live like the world, They love the world more than they love Jesus Christ. They may say they love Jesus, but their actions say something else. Because they don’t exalt Jesus Christ through their spirit but they exalt and worship the devil through their flesh.
Carnal people are not able to discern the spiritual realm. Because of that they don’t see any evil and tolerate and approve of many things that oppose the Bible (Божието Слово).
What does the Bible say about yoga and idolatry?
The Bible says about idolatry, which also includes yoga, Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? И какво съгласие има Христос с Велиар? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, Ще се спирам в тях, и ходете в тях; И аз ще бъда техният Бог, И те ще бъдат моят народ. Wherefore Come ye out from among them, и бъдете отделни, казва Господ, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, казва Господ Всемогъщият (2 Коринтяни 6:14-18)
Господ казва, that Christians should not get involved with idolatry, including yoga. Защото, there is no concord between Jesus and Belial, or in this case between Jesus and the Hindu gods.
Jesus Christ is the only God that you serve. When you bow down to other gods, вие reject Jesus Christ. You actually say that Jesus is not good enough for you. Because if Jesus was good enough for you, then you wouldn’t look elsewhere and turn to the world and participate in pagan religions and philosophies and focus on your flesh (Прочетете също: ‘Ако сте намерили Истината, защо още търсиш?’).
Jesus Christ is your Healer and your peace
Исус Христос е Йехова Рафа, Той е вашият Лечител. If Jesus is your Healer and you have faith in Him, why do you practice yoga to feel better? Jesus is Jehovah Shalom, the God your Peace. If Jesus is your Lord and peace, why do you practice yoga to relax, reduce stress and experience inner peace? If you need to practice yoga for all of that, then Jesus Christ is not your Savior and Lord.
Написано е: ‘and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath allotted unto all the peoples under the whole heaven’(Второзаконие 4:19 (прочетете също: Второзаконие 17:3, и 2 Крале 23:5)).
If yoga is so important to you and you want to continue with yoga, what does Jesus mean to you?
Библията казва, that you should separate, освещавам, and sanctify yourself from the world (система), instead of following the world.
God’s Word revealed to you, who the god of this world is. God’s Word revealed the final destination of the people that belong to the world and the ruler of this world.
Jesus called you unto holiness. God bought you with the blood of His Son Jesus Christ. He made you holy and righteous through Неговата жертва; by His blood and now it’s up to you to stay holy and live righteous.
Исус казва: come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, и аз ще ви дам почивка. Вземете Моето иго върху себе си, и се научете от мен; защото съм кротък и смирен по сърце: и ще намерите покой на душите си. Защото Моето иго е лесно, и Моето бреме е леко (Матю 11:28-30)
God gave you a free will to make choices in life. You can choose to believe and follow Jesus and take the yoke of Jesus Christ upon you or you can choose to believe and follow the world and take the yoke of the devil upon you, because yoga means yoke.
Всеки човек има нужда от Исус Христос
Jesus came to redeem humanity from the power and authority of the devil, кой е богът на този свят. Therefore every person needs Исус Христос. Everyone may come to Jesus. Няма никой, who is not allowed to come to Jesus for salvation.
Няма значение, what you have done in the past or what kind of person you are. Jesus loves you. How do you know that Jesus loves you? Jesus showed His love for you by carrying your sins and iniquities on the cross and taking the punishment for your sins, което е смърт, върху Себе Си.
Jesus carried it all for you and died and Отидох по дяволите за теб. So that you won’t have to carry it anymore and live under the oppression of sin and guilt and the authority of death, but you can live in freedom in Christ instead. But it’s up to you to believe it and accept the grace and the gift of God or not. (Прочетете също: Какво е истинското значение на кръста?)
How to get peace for your soul?
If you are heavy-laden or feel exhausted, неспокоен, депресиран, тревожен, стресиран, chaotic, притеснен, тъжен, депресиран, и така нататък. then there is only one place to get мир for your soul and that is in Jesus Christ. Jesus alone can give you peace and the rest you need.
The methods of the world may seem like they can solve your problems, но в действителност, they can’t and will only make your problems worse. Because the methods of the world originate from the same source that caused your problems. That source is the kingdom of darkness.
When you draw from the right Source; the Source of life (Исус Христос; Словото), only then will you find, what you’ve been looking for.
If you want to find out the truth and want to draw from the right Source, then open your Bible, Божието Слово, and begin to read and get to know Jesus Christ and the Father.
When you study the Bible and подновете ума си с думите на Бог, meditate upon them, и ги прилагайте в живота си, така че да станеш изпълнител на Словото, you shall have real peace.
Мира, that Jesus promised you to have, is not the peace of the world, but it’s the peace of God that passes all understanding.
A peace that doesn’t depend upon circumstances and situations, but it’s a constant peace inside of you.
Божият мир, което минава всяко разбиране, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus (Филипяни 4:7)
