Okay I made it all up, just lying to prove a point....I tell you what you prove me wrong then!

I’m not a walking box of footnoted citations but I know what i have read and studied over the years. In the 1950s there was a group of Indian “guru” types that wanted make a concerted effort to “evangelize” the west with their brand of Eastern Mysticism and Hinduism. The yoga movements, TM, of the 60’s were all a part of that and it rode in all on top of the HIPPIE movements and the progressivist push that was occuring in America at the time. You remember the Hari Krishnas...right? Or was I making that up, too?

You were wrong about yoga being related to tai chi, you were wrong about tai chi being a stretching exercise and you are wrong when you suggest that the PX90 body system is an analogous substitute for either yoga or tai chi. You were even wrong about the name of it. It is the P90X training system. P90X is a strength and cardiovascular exercise system which is almost the exact opposite of the focus of both yoga and tai chi.

No one can say whether you're making things up or not but you are clearly wrong about a lot of things.

You asserted the claim; the burden of proof is on you. That's logic 101.

BTW, you are aware that TM and Hare Krisnas have nothing to do with yoga, right? or did you conflate everything Indian as one thing? Is Curry the same thing as Yoga? How about chicken tandori? Papidums? Chutneys? Khaki pants? Madras jackets? Paisley prints?

As Jesus warns in Matthew 7 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

Or his warnings in Matthew 24.....

They are wrapped in many colors, shapes and sizes, even within Christianity! Discernment is a hard lesson to learn and it cannot be done by using only logic. Logic can be fooled. Discernment includes a gut wrenching intuitive feeling that has saved me many times, even when logic failed.
