Yoga -- Not Religious?

Most Indian gurus incorporate the idea of chakras into their teachings; as part of a watered-down or westernised form of tantra.

"...each chakra in turn, until it reaches the highest or crown chakra, the Sahasrara, where dwells the Godhead or Supreme Shiva (Paramashiva).

As the Kundalini-Shakti unites with Paramashiva, the original transcendent equilibrium is restored, and the yogi returns to the state of oneness with the Absolute."

Below is a prayer request which is very enlightening as to

the culture and religion the practice of "Yoga" is advancing.

Please pray for the believers in the Himachal Pradesh region of India.

A group of radical Hindus have beaten a pastor and threatened to burn more than 60 new converts to death if they do not re-convert to Hinduism.

This area is home to a large shrine to the Hindu 'god' Shiva, and since the tourist visits are so important to the local economy the police are dragging their feet in becoming involved.

Please pray for the protection of the believers, and pray that the hearts of the attackers would be softened to the gospel.
