Sa pamamagitan ng impluwensya ng mga kilalang tao at social media, ang yoga ay muling pumasok sa Kanluraning mundo. Nagsulat ulit ako ng pumasok, dahil noong dekada otsenta ay hype din ang yoga. Itinuring ng maraming tao na ang yoga ay kapaki-pakinabang para sa kanilang kalusugan (katawan at isip) and traveled all the way to India to learn and practice yoga. Ngayong araw, maraming tao ang nagsasanay ng yoga para sa iba't ibang dahilan, like relaxation, nakakawala ng stress at pagkabalisa, pagbawi ng burn-out, depresyon, pisikal na ehersisyo, pagbaba ng timbang, atbp. According to CDC (Hunyo 2024), humigit-kumulang 55,78 million people in the United States practiced yoga in 2022. Sa kasamaang palad, 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, hindi nakakapinsala, and beneficial for both mental and physical health. Dapat bang magsagawa ng yoga o Christian yoga ang mga Kristiyano ayon sa Bibliya o ang yoga ay isang kasalanan? Ano ang espirituwal na panganib ng yoga na hindi alam ng maraming tao?
What does the word yoga mean?
The word ‘yoga’ derives from the Sanskrit word ‘Yuj’, at ibig sabihin: ‘yoke’, sa (re)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 (espiritu) with the body and empty yourself.
Yogis and yoga practitioners speak about the spirit and how the spirit must unite with the body. Pero ang totoo, na hangga't ang isang tao ay hindi ipinanganak muli in Jesus Christ the spirit is still dead. A person has a soul and a physical body.
Gayunpaman, the soul possesses great power. When someone practices yoga, the power in the soul is generated. People think it’s spiritual power, samantalang sa realidad, it’s soul power.
In modern society, yoga is considered a system of physical postures (mga pagsasanay), breathing techniques, at pagninilay-nilay, 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 mga doktor at mga psychologist 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. Gayunpaman, because they don’t discern the spiritual realm, they are not aware of the spiritual danger of yoga. Hindi nila alam, 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, yoga sa puso, Anusara yoga, mga panganib ng yoga, puting lotus yoga, panaginip yoga, pagtawa yoga, integral yoga, anti-gravity yoga, Iyengar yoga, hubad na yoga, yoga gymnosophy, kapangyarihan yoga, svaroopa yoga, yin yoga, zen yoga, atbp.
Ano ang pinagmulan ng yoga?
Ang yoga ay nag-ugat sa Hinduismo. Ang yoga ay nagmula sa Hinduismo at bahagi pa rin ng Hinduismo. Ang mga pisikal na postura ay (o nagmula sa) pagsamba poses sa mga diyos. Ang Hinduismo ay may daan-daang diyos. Ang bawat ehersisyo ay sumasamba sa isang diyos na Hindu. Halos bawat sesyon ng yoga ay nagsisimula sa pamamagitan ng pagsamba sa diyos ng araw na si Surya.
Bilang isang Kristiyano, Alam mo, na iisa lamang ang Diyos; ang Lumikha ng Langit at ng Lupa.
Sinasabi ng Bibliya na Siya lamang ang dapat mong sambahin at walang ibang diyos. Dahil ang ibang mga diyos ay hindi mga diyos.
Sa likod ng mga diyos ng Hindu ay mga demonyo.
Kapag gumawa ka ng isang yoga pose, you worship a demon and connect yourself to this demon.
When you worship a demon (Diyablo, 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. Maraming tao ang nagsasabi, yoga is just stretching. Pero ang totoo, 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, mga pagsasanay). Or as is written in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, yoga is a Hindu theistic philosophy that teaches the suppression of all activity of body, isip, at kalooban, 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, sila lahat 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. meron 7 levels in total. These levels are called chakras. Every time you practice and control a certain amount of physical yoga postures (mga pagsasanay) and breathing techniques, you unlock a chakra.
Halimbawa, you start with your belly. When you practice breathing exercises and do certain physical postures, you unlock the first chakra.
Kapag na-unlock mo ang unang chakra, makakaranas ka ng ilang uri ng pisikal na enerhiya. Pagkatapos mong i-unlock ang unang chakra, ipagpatuloy mo ang pangalawang chakra, pagkatapos ay ang ikatlong chakra, ang ikaapat na chakra, atbp.. Magpapatuloy ka hanggang sa ma-unlock mo ang lahat ng pitong chakra.
Ang huling chakra ay ang korona chakra; ang ulo mo, na kumokontrol sa iyong dila. Kapag nabuksan mo ang ikapitong chakra, magagawa mong makipag-usap sa espirituwal na kaharian at makapagsalita sa ibang mga wika.
This counterfeit of speaking in other tongues originates from the devil and not from God. Laging ginagaya ng diyablo ang Diyos, dahil gusto ng diyablo na maging katulad ng Diyos. Ngunit itong pagsasalita ng mga wika ay naiimpluwensyahan ng mga kapangyarihan ng demonyo, who use your tongue to speak.
Kapag nabuksan mo na lahat 7 chakras ng iyong katawan, lubusan mong inubos ang iyong sarili. By this time, you think that you control your body and your mind. Gayunpaman, ang totoo ay, 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 (ang diyos ng mundong ito) 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 (laman) 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.
Kapag pumasok ka sa espirituwal na kaharian mula sa iyong kaluluwa, you move into the occult and open yourself to evil spirits (mga demonyo) that enter and attack you in the flesh; Ang iyong kaluluwa, and your body. (Basahin din: Ano ang dalawang paraan upang makapasok sa espirituwal na kaharian?).
This could happen immediately, but it doesn’t have to. Sa maraming kaso, it will take a while, before these evil spirits will manifest themselves in your life.
The more you open yourself through natural means (mga pagsasanay sa paghinga, pagninilay, yoga physical exercises, atbp.) 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. Dahan-dahan, 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.
Ano ang panganib ng yoga?
The danger of yoga is, that by practicing breathing exercises (breathing through the belly), physical postures (mga pagsasanay), at pagninilay-nilay, you invite the Hindu gods that are in reality demons (masasamang espiritu) sa iyong buhay. 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, Nais mo man o hindi. You have invited these demons yourself and have given them access to your life and they accepted your invitation. Ngayong pumasok na sila sa buhay mo, sila ang kukuha at magkokontrol sa iyong buhay.
Maybe you don’t like this truth about the hidden spiritual danger of yoga and say, "Pero hindi ko alam yun" o “Hindi ko ginusto iyon”. Well, sa kasamaang palad, 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, sa pamamagitan ng pagyuko sa kanila. Ikaw ang isa, who gave them access to your life. Sa pamamagitan ng iyong kamangmangan at kakulangan ng kaalaman, nakuha na nila ang iyong isip (kaluluwa) and your body. (Basahin din: Maaari mo bang paghiwalayin ang espirituwal mula sa mga pilosopiya at gawi ng Silangan?).
Dapat bang magsanay ng yoga ang mga Kristiyano o ang yoga ay isang kasalanan?
Christians should not practice yoga and engage with pagan worship and move into the occult, because idolatry is a sin. Napakalinaw ng Diyos sa Kanyang Salita! 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.
Huwag kang gagawa para sa iyo ng larawang inanyuan, o anumang anyo ng anumang bagay na nasa langit sa itaas, o iyon ay nasa ilalim ng lupa, o iyon ay nasa tubig sa ilalim ng lupa. Huwag mong iyukod ang iyong sarili sa kanila, ni pagsilbihan sila, sapagka't akong si Jehova na iyong Dios ay isang mapanibughuing Dios(Exodo 20:4-5)
sabi ng Diyos, na sa pamamagitan ng kakulangan ng kaalaman, Ang kanyang mga tao ay nawasak. Ito ay ganap na totoo! 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, dapat makinig ka sa Diyos. Dapat mong sundin ang Kanyang Salita (ang Bibliya), 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, ay naliligaw ng lahat ng mga kasinungalingang ito upang magsanay ng yoga para sa mga benepisyong pangkalusugan, pagpapahinga, stress, at pag-alis ng pagkabalisa, paghahanap ng panloob na kapayapaan, pagpapabuti ng postura, pagpapabuti ng paghinga, flexibility ng kalamnan, pagbaba ng timbang, atbp.
But they are carnal and live in darkness. Samakatuwid, they can’t discern the spirits and see the spiritual danger of yoga.
Ngunit ang katotohanan, 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. (Basahin din: Ang isang pekeng si Jesus ay gumagawa ng mga pekeng Kristiyano).
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 (mga demonyo) and worship pagan deities (mga idolo)? Imposible!
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, na tinatawag ang kanilang sarili na mga Kristiyano, 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 yoga.
These name Christians say, that during yoga they worship Jesus (ang Anak) instead of the sun. They use their yoga time for meditation on Bible verses. Sabi nila, that trough their physical movements they connect with God. Through yoga exercises, breathing techniques, at pagninilay-nilay, 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, kasabihan (pagsisinungaling) that they go to the clubs to evangelize and convert people.
Kapag pumasok ka sa teritoryo ng diyablo, 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. yoga, martial arts), 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 (mga demonyo).
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. Ito ay maaaring isang positibong pagbabago o isang negatibong pagbabago. Many times you feel a little bit better and feel relaxed after a yoga session. Maaari kang makaranas ng ilang pisikal at mental na pagpapabuti sa kalusugan, ngunit ito ay pansamantala lamang.
Pagkatapos ng ilang oras ng pagsasanay sa yoga, mararanasan mo ang mga negatibong epekto ng yoga. Makakaranas ka ng pagbabago sa iyong pisikal at mental na kalagayan; sa iyong katawan, isip (ang paraan ng pag-iisip mo), pag-uugali, at karakter. Maaari mong maranasan ang mga sumusunod na bagay:
- Maaari kang maging mas mapagparaya, madaling mairita, makasarili, at makaranas ng mas maraming negatibong damdamin, parang selos, Mapoot, galit, atbp patungo sa iba, na hindi mo makontrol.
- Maaari kang mapuspos ng mga negatibong kaisipan tungkol sa iyong sarili at negatibong makita ang iyong sarili.
- Ikaw ay magiging matatakot, kawalan ng katiyakan, at nababalisa at biglang nagsimulang magkaroon ng panic attack.
- You experience unclean sexual thoughts
- You start hearing inner voices or voices in your head, sinasabi sa iyo kung ano ang gagawin.
- 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 diborsyo.
- 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 (nakamamatay) disease like cancer
- …
All these demonic activities can be a fruit of yoga in your life.
Does Christian yoga exist?
Hindi, 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. Samakatuwid, 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.
Ang totoo ay, 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 (ang Salita ng Diyos).
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? At kung ano ang kasama ni Concord kay Cristo kay Belial? 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, Ako ay tatahan sa kanila, at lumakad sa kanila; at ako ay magiging kanilang Diyos, at sila ay magiging aking bayan. Wherefore Come ye out from among them, at maghiwalay kayo, sabi ng Panginoon, 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, sabi ng Panginoong Makapangyarihan sa lahat (2 Mga taga-Corinto 6:14-18)
sabi ng Panginoon, that Christians should not get involved with idolatry, including yoga. kasi, 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, ikaw 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 (Basahin din: ‘Kung nahanap mo na ang Katotohanan, bakit mo pa hinahanap?’).
Jesus Christ is your Healer and your peace
Si Jesucristo ay Jehovah Rapha, Siya ang iyong Healer. 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.
Ito ay nakasulat: ‘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’(Deuteronomio 4:19 (basahin din: Deuteronomio 17:3, at 2 Mga hari 23:5)).
If yoga is so important to you and you want to continue with yoga, what does Jesus mean to you?
Ang sabi ng Bibliya, that you should separate, italaga, and sanctify yourself from the world (sistema), 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. Binili ka ng Diyos ng dugo ng Kanyang Anak na si Hesukristo. Ginawa ka niyang banal at matuwid sa pamamagitan ng Ang kanyang sakripisyo; sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang dugo at ngayon ay nasa sa iyo na manatiling banal at mamuhay nang matuwid.
sabi ni Hesus: bilang sa Akin, kayong lahat na nangapapagal at nangabibigatang lubha, At bibigyan kita ng pahinga. Pasanin mo ang Aking pamatok, At alamin mo ako; sapagka't ako'y maamo at mababang loob: at makakatagpo kayo ng kapahingahan sa inyong mga kaluluwa. Sapagkat ang Aking pamatok ay madali, at ang Aking pasanin ay magaan (Mateo 11:28-30)
Binigyan ka ng Diyos ng malayang pagpapasya sa buhay. Maaari mong piliing maniwala at sumunod kay Hesus at kunin ang pamatok ni Jesucristo sa iyo o maaari mong piliin na maniwala at sundin ang mundo at pasanin ang pamatok ng diyablo sa iyo, dahil ang ibig sabihin ng yoga ay pamatok.
Kailangan ng bawat tao si Hesukristo
Dumating si Jesus upang tubusin ang sangkatauhan mula sa kapangyarihan at awtoridad ng diyablo, sino ang diyos ng mundong ito. Kaya kailangan ng bawat tao Panginoong Hesukristo. Lahat ay maaaring lumapit kay Hesus. Walang sinuman, na hindi pinahihintulutang lumapit kay Hesus para sa kaligtasan.
Hindi mahalaga, kung ano ang nagawa mo sa nakaraan o kung anong uri ka ng tao. mahal ka ni Hesus. Paano mo malalaman na mahal ka ni Hesus? Ipinakita ni Jesus ang Kanyang pagmamahal sa iyo sa pamamagitan ng pagpasan ng iyong mga kasalanan at kasamaan sa krus at pagtanggap ng kaparusahan para sa iyong mga kasalanan, na kamatayan, sa Kanyang sarili.
Dinala ni Hesus ang lahat para sa iyo at namatay at napunta sa impyerno para sa iyo. Upang hindi mo na kailangang dalhin pa ito at mabuhay sa ilalim ng paniniil ng kasalanan at pagkakasala at awtoridad ng kamatayan, ngunit maaari kang mamuhay sa kalayaan kay Kristo sa halip. Ngunit nasa iyo kung paniwalaan ito at tanggapin ang biyaya at kaloob ng Diyos o hindi. (Basahin din: Ano ang tunay na kahulugan ng krus?)
Paano makakuha ng kapayapaan para sa iyong kaluluwa?
Kung ikaw ay mabigat sa kargada o nakakaramdam ng pagod, hindi mapakali, nalulumbay, balisa, stressed, magulong, nag-aalala, malungkot, nalulumbay, atbp. pagkatapos ay mayroon lamang isang lugar upang makakuha ng kapayapaan para sa iyong kaluluwa at iyon ay kay Jesucristo. Si Hesus lamang ang makapagbibigay sa iyo ng kapayapaan at ang iba pang kailangan mo.
Ang mga pamamaraan ng mundo ay maaaring mukhang malulutas nila ang iyong mga problema, ngunit sa katotohanan, hindi nila magagawa at magpapalala lang sa iyong mga problema. 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 (Panginoong Hesukristo; ang salita), 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, ang Salita ng Diyos, and begin to read and get to know Jesus Christ and the Father.
When you study the Bible and i-renew ang iyong isip sa mga salita ng Diyos, meditate upon them, at ilapat ang mga ito sa iyong buhay, upang ikaw ay maging tagatupad ng Salita, you shall have real peace.
Ang kapayapaan, 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.
Ang kapayapaan ng Diyos, na lumalampas sa lahat ng pang-unawa, iingatan ang inyong mga puso at ang inyong mga pag-iisip kay Cristo Jesus (Mga Pilipino 4:7)
