Just what we need is Hinduism in the Catholic Church.

Kripalu is what/where George Felos studied before he took on the terri shciavo case.

I recently had a customer that went on and on about yoga, karma, enlightenment, etc. Those that participate in this nonsense don't become "enlightened" they become mentally ill. Schizophrenic to be exact.

Definition of Hinduism        Hinduism

In Hinduism it is of minor importance what sort of worship is adopted, provided one recognizes the supremacy of the Brahmins and the sacredness of Brahmin customs and traditions. In the pantheistic all-god Brahma, the whole world of deities, spirits, and other objects of worship is contained, so that Hinduism adapts itself to every form of religion, from the lofty monotheism of the cultivated Brahmin to the degraded nature-worship of the ignorant savage.

Chakras

"Energy points" in your body derived from Hindu spirituality, including gods and goddesses. This concept is contained in many New Age and eastern religion based activities, such as Yoga and Reiki.

Yoga: Health or Stealth?     The Cross and the Veil

Yoga, meaning union or yoking in Sanskrit, is one system of Indian (Hindu) philosophy. The practitioner of yoga seeks to yoke himself to the universal spirit through a complex, ancient science of philosophic meditation and self-purification (asceticism ).

Nice try, but yoga didn't cause Felos to do what he did.

If more priests used yoga to channel their energy, there would be less perversion amongst them.

That's nothin' A few months ago, I took this photo in mid-Kundalini invasion of a historic Anglican church in Toronto. Hasn't history shown us that turbans have a way of multiplying, like tribbles? As for Yoga and other entertainment, all of should stay out of churches- it aint a social club.

Yoga teaches one to empty the mind.

Christiantiy teaches prayer to fill the mind with the Holy Spirit.

[pro610]

The Vatican has published many reports condemning using eastern mystic practices such as Yoga and contemplative prayer.
This practice should be reported and condemned .
Yoga is kundalini energy,kundalini energy is serpent power.
I think we all know who the serpent is....

AAAAAUUUUUUURRRRGGGGHHH!!!

OK, I feel better now.

"Clear your mind...

Wrong. Catholics are never to do this. Our intellects are what distinguish us from animals. This is self-abnegation.

Let go of the outside world...

Detach yourself from reality? Leave your senses? This is analogous to getting drunk or high.

Take a deep breath and feel the Holy Spirit come inside," said Mastropietro.

More likely a demonic spirit.

No wonder Florida gets hit with hurricanes.

This is NOT a Catholic practice.

Looks like Catholics are becoming big thorn in devil's butt. Attacks from all sides. It will only strengthen the belief and love for God. Just look at communist empire that tried to eradicate God from people's souls. They are on the garbage bin of history, while Jesus reins there stronger than ever.

Yoga is OK and harmless. Hinduism is OK with me because they are not out to conquer the world Whether it should be taught in a Catholic church is another matter.

[lastchance]

There are enough Catholic meditations and teachings that we do not need the false god of Hindunism creeping into our practices. I am Catholic and this alarms me very much.
I would suggest the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatious Loyola. I would also suggest reflections on the writings of the Bible and Catholic saints. If physical excercise is needed why not a aerobics class?
Yoga has way too many religious overtones to be acceptable in a Catholic Parish.

[tuckrdout]

Well, I have heard of people just doing the Yoga exercises...and was interested to read if the spiritual message was truly from Christ. I believe that it could be...but, I don't see it in this article.

Why not read and concentrate on Biblical passages, in a church? Why not pray and ask in the name of Jesus that he come into their minds, and fill them with himself? Now, there would be a good start.

At least they are not allowing the "blue orbs" into their church, like a local "Christian" church here did:

What ever happened to a LONG conversation with God through Christ ?

He's the only One that will give you genuine peace of mind - not this crap. Reading the Bible is also good - look at the book of Job and your problems will be in proper perspective.

[Coleus]

and you wonder why there weren't that many Florida priests or Bishops coming out publicly for Terri. Why should they, since they embrace a religion that believes in reincarnation where they chant to their god, Om while meditating.
