តាមរយៈឥទ្ធិពលរបស់តារាល្បីៗ និងប្រព័ន្ធផ្សព្វផ្សាយសង្គម, យូហ្គាបានចូលទៅក្នុងពិភពលោកខាងលិចម្តងទៀត. ខ្ញុំបានសរសេរបញ្ចូលម្តងទៀត, ពីព្រោះនៅក្នុងទសវត្សរ៍ទី 80 យូហ្គាក៏ជាការឃោសនាបំផ្លើសផងដែរ។. Many people considered yoga beneficial for their health (body and mind) and traveled all the way to India to learn and practice yoga. ថៃនេហ, many people practice yoga for various reasons, like relaxation, stress and anxiety relief, burn-out recovery, វិសម្ពាធ, លំហាត់ប្រាណ, ការសម្រកទម្ងន់, ល។. According to CDC (ខែមិថុនា 2024), ប្រហែល 55,78 million people in the United States practiced yoga in 2022. ដេលក្ផានសមនាងល្អ, 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, គ្មានគ្រោះថ្នាក់, 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’, និងមានន័យថា: ‘yoke’, តោកាន់អាយ័តនិ (ឡើងវិញ)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 (កមនិត) with the body and empty yourself.
Yogis and yoga practitioners speak about the spirit and how the spirit must unite with the body. ប៉ុន្តែការពិតគឺ, that as long as a person is not កើតម្តងទៀត in Jesus Christ the spirit is still dead. A person has a soul and a physical body.
ទោះយ៉ាងណាក៏ដោយ, the soul possesses great power. When someone practices yoga, the power in the soul is generated. People think it’s spiritual power, ខណៈពេលដែលនៅក្នុងការពិត, it’s soul power.
In modern society, yoga is considered a system of physical postures (លំហាត់), breathing techniques, និងសមាធិ, 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 វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិត និង អ្នកចិត្តសាស្រ្ត 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. ទោះយ៉ាងណាក៏ដោយ, because they don’t discern the spiritual realm, they are not aware of the spiritual danger of yoga. ពួកគេមិនដឹងទេ។, 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, ល។.
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.
ជាគ្រិស្តបរិស័ទ, អ្នកដឹង, that there is only one God; អ្នកបង្កើត 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 (បិសាច, 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. មនុស្សជាច្រើននិយាយ, yoga is just stretching. ប៉ុន្តែការពិតគឺ, 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, លំហាត់). Or as is written in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, yoga is a Hindu theistic philosophy that teaches the suppression of all activity of body, ចិត្ដ, ហើយឆន្ទៈ, 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, បយកកេ ទាំងអស់។ 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. មាន 7 levels in total. These levels are called chakras. Every time you practice and control a certain amount of physical yoga postures (លំហាត់) and breathing techniques, you unlock a chakra.
ឧទាហរណ៍, 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, ល។. 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. ទោះយ៉ាងណាក៏ដោយ, ការពិតគឺ, 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 (ព្រះនៃពិភពលោកនេះ) 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 (សាច់) 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.
នៅពេលអ្នកចូលទៅក្នុងពិភពខាងវិញ្ញាណចេញពីព្រលឹងរបស់អ្នក។, you move into the occult and open yourself to evil spirits (បិសាច) that enter and attack you in the flesh; ព្រលឹងរបស់អ្នក, and your body. (អានផងដែរ។: តើមានវិធីពីរយ៉ាងដើម្បីចូលក្នុងអាណាចក្រខាងវិញ្ញាណ?).
This could happen immediately, but it doesn’t have to. ក្នុងករណីជាច្រើន។, it will take a while, before these evil spirits will manifest themselves in your life.
The more you open yourself through natural means (លំហាត់ដកដង្ហើម, ការផាវនា, yoga physical exercises, ល។) 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. យឺត, 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.
តើអ្វីទៅជាគ្រោះថ្នាក់នៃយូហ្គា?
The danger of yoga is, that by practicing breathing exercises (breathing through the belly), physical postures (លំហាត់), និងសមាធិ, you invite the Hindu gods that are in reality demons (វិញ្ញាណអាក្រក់) 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, ថាតើអ្នកចង់ឬអត់. 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”. អញ្ចឹង, ជាអកុសល, 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. អ្នកគឺជាអ្នក, who gave them access to your life. Through your ignorance and lack of knowledge, they have taken possession of your mind (របលឹង) and your body. (អានផងដែរ។: តើអ្នកអាចបំបែកខាងវិញ្ញាណពីទស្សនវិជ្ជានិងការអនុវត្តនៅភាគខាងកើត?).
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. ព្រះគឺច្បាស់ណាស់នៅក្នុងព្រះបន្ទូលរបស់ទ្រង់! 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, ឬវានៅក្នុងដីក្រោម, ឬនៅក្នុងទឹកក្រោមផែនដី. អ្នកមិនត្រូវក្រាបថ្វាយបង្គំពួកគេឡើយ។, ក៏មិនបម្រើពួកគេដែរ។, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God(និក្ខមនំ 20:4-5)
ព្រះបានមានប្រសាសន៍ថា, ថាតាមរយៈ កង្វះចំណេះដឹង, ប្រជាជនរបស់គាត់ត្រូវបានបំផ្លាញ. 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 (ព្រះគម្ពីរ), 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, ការសំរាកលំហែ, សផាបតានតឹង, and anxiety relief, ការស្វែងរកសន្តិភាពខាងក្នុង, improving posture, improving breathing, muscle flexibility, ការសម្រកទម្ងន់, ល។.
But they are carnal and live in darkness. ដូច្នេះ, they can’t discern the spirits and see the spiritual danger of yoga.
ប៉ុន្តែការពិត, 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. (អានផងដែរ។: ព្រះយេស៊ូវក្លែងក្លាយបង្កើតគ្រីស្ទានក្លែងក្លាយ).
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 (បិសាច) and worship pagan deities (រូបព្រះ)? វាមិនអាចទៅរួចទេ!
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, ដែលហៅខ្លួនឯងថាជាគ្រីស្ទាន, 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 យូហ្គា.
These name Christians say, that during yoga they worship Jesus (កូនប្រុស) instead of the sun. They use their yoga time for meditation on Bible verses. ពួកគេនិយាយ, that trough their physical movements they connect with God. Through yoga exercises, breathing techniques, និងសមាធិ, 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, និយាយ (និយាយកុហក) that they go to the clubs to evangelize and convert people.
នៅពេលអ្នកចូលទៅក្នុងទឹកដីនៃអារក្ស, 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. យូហ្គា, សិល្បៈក្បាច់គុន), 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 (បិសាច).
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, ប៉ុន្តែនេះនឹងគ្រាន់តែជាបណ្តោះអាសន្នប៉ុណ្ណោះ។.
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, ចិត្ដ (វិធីដែលអ្នកគិត), អាកប្បកិរិយា, and character. You may experience the following things:
- You may become less tolerant, ងាយរលាក, កមនាញ់, and experience more negative feelings, like jealousy, ស្អប់, កមហឹង, 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, អសន្តិសុខ, and anxious and suddenly start to have panic attacks.
- You experience unclean sexual thoughts
- You start hearing inner voices or voices in your head, ប្រាប់អ្នកពីអ្វីដែលត្រូវធ្វើ.
- 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 ការលេងលហប្ដីរបបន្ធ.
- 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 (ស្លាប់) disease like cancer
- …
All these demonic activities can be a fruit of yoga in your life.
Does Christian yoga exist?
ទេ, 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. ដូច្នេះ, 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.
ការពិតគឺ, 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 (ព្រះបន្ទូលរបស់ព្រះ).
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? ហើយអ្វីដែល conford បានធ្វើឱ្យព្រះគ្រីស្ទជាមួយនឹងការកោះហៅ? 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, ខ្ញុំនឹងរស់នៅក្នុងពួកគេ, ហើយដើរក្នុងពួកគេ; ហើយខ្ញុំនឹងក្លាយជាព្រះរបស់ពួកគេ, ហើយពួកគេនឹងក្លាយជាប្រជាជនរបស់ខ្ញុំ. Wherefore Come ye out from among them, ហើយត្រូវបាន balling អ្នកដាច់ដោយឡែក, មានបន្ទូលរបស់ព្រះអម្ចាស់, 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, មានបន្ទូលថា: «ព្រះអម្ចាស់ឫទ្ធានុភាពយ៉ាងខ្លាំង (2 កូរិនថូស 6:14-18)
ព្រះអម្ចាស់មានបន្ទូល, that Christians should not get involved with idolatry, including yoga. បីរហហ, 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, អ្នក 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 (អានផងដែរ។: ‘ប្រសិនបើអ្នកបានរកឃើញការពិត, ហេតុអ្វីបានជាអ្នកនៅតែស្រាវជ្រាវ?’).
Jesus Christ is your Healer and your peace
Jesus Christ is ព្រះយេហូវ៉ា, គាត់គឺជាអ្នកព្យាបាលរបស់អ្នក។. 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.
វាត្រូវបានសរសេរ: ‘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’(ចោទិយកថា 4:19 (អានផងដែរ: ចោទិយកថា 17:3, និង 2 ស្ដន៍ 23:5)).
If yoga is so important to you and you want to continue with yoga, what does Jesus mean to you?
ព្រះគម្ពីរប្រាប់, that you should separate, ឧទ្ទិស, and sanctify yourself from the world (របប័ន្ធ), 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 ការលះបង់របស់គាត់។; by His blood and now it’s up to you to stay holy and live righteous.
ព្រះយេស៊ូវមានបន្ទូល: come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, ហើយខ្ញុំនឹងឱ្យអ្នកសម្រាក. យកនឹមរបស់ខ្ញុំដាក់លើអ្នក។, ហើយរៀនពីខ្ញុំ; ដ្បិតខ្ញុំស្លូតហើយមានចិត្តទន់ភ្លន់: អ្នកនឹងសំរេចចិត្ដរបស់អ្នក. សម្រាប់នឹមរបស់ខ្ញុំគឺងាយស្រួល, ហើយបន្ទុករបស់ខ្ញុំគឺស្រាល (ម៉ាថាយ 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.
មនុស្សគ្រប់រូបត្រូវការព្រះយេស៊ូវគ្រីស្ទ
Jesus came to redeem humanity from the power and authority of the devil, who is the god of this world. Therefore every person needs ព្រះយេស៊ូគ្រីស្ត. Everyone may come to Jesus. គ្មាននរណាម្នាក់ទេ, who is not allowed to come to Jesus for salvation.
វាមិនមានបញ្ហាទេ, what you have done in the past or what kind of person you are. ព្រះយេស៊ូវស្រឡាញ់អ្នក។. 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, ដែលជាការស្លាប់, លើខ្លួនគាត់ផ្ទាល់.
Jesus carried it all for you and died and បានទៅឋាននរក សម្រាប់អ្នក. 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. (អានផងដែរ។: តើអ្វីទៅជាអត្ថន័យពិតនៃឈើឆ្កាង?)
How to get peace for your soul?
If you are heavy-laden or feel exhausted, ដេលនោមិនស្យេម, ធ្លាក់ទឹកចិត្ដ, រសាប់រសល់, តានតឹង, វឹកវរ, បារម្ភ, សោកសៅ, ធ្លាក់ទឹកចិត្ដ, ល។. then there is only one place to get សន្តិភាព 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, ប៉ុន្តែនៅក្នុងការពិត, 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 (ព្រះយេស៊ូគ្រីស្ត; ពាក្យនេះ), 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, ព្រះបន្ទូលរបស់ព្រះ, and begin to read and get to know Jesus Christ and the Father.
When you study the Bible and បន្តគំនិតរបស់អ្នក។ ដោយពាក្យរបស់ព្រះ, meditate upon them, ហើយអនុវត្តវាទៅក្នុងជីវិតរបស់អ្នក។, ដូច្នេះអ្នកក្លាយជាអ្នកធ្វើសកម្មភាពរបស់ព្រះបន្ទូល, you shall have real peace.
សន្តិភាព, 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.
សន្តិភាពនៃព្រះ, ដែលឆ្លងកាត់ការយល់ដឹងទាំងអស់, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus (ភីលីព 4:7)
