Should Christians Participate in Yoga?
Yoga originated from which country?
To answer the question above about how Christians Participate in Yoga, the answer is No.Again, there are significant differences between Christian meditation and that taught in Yoga. Christians meditate on the word of God rather than trying to blank out the mind. Psalms 119:99 states, "I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy (the Messiah's) testimonies are my meditations." Psalms 104:34 says. "My meditation on Him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord." Thus, we can clearly see the Scriptures teach us to use our time of meditation on God and not blank or open our minds to the demons.
Yoga's primary promise is to calm your mind through meditation. The difference between yoga meditation and the type God commands in Scripture is twofold: the object of our meditation and the result. Yogi philosophers urge followers to empty their minds. This empty mind, they claim, is the doorway to communion with the Universal Soul. But cult expert Bob Larson warns that yoga mediators "should not be deceived into thinking they have communed with the Lord." Instead, they have "left [their] mind open to an evil invasion by the spirit associated with the particular discipline employed."

The silence of the blogger.
Yep, I've been pretty quiet this last week in terms of posting because tomorrow marks a new phase in my blogging life and I've been writing more code and spending more time in Photoshop than I've ever spent ...
Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a Paperless Payday Loan site. It pretty much covers Paperless Payday Loan related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time. :-)
The important thing is that Hinduism has no concept of a Devil. This is the soft underbelly of Hinduism that makes Hindus vulnerable to conversion to other faiths such as Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Concerning samadhi or meditation, I cannot comment upon this because I am not acquainted with Hindu meditation, which may indeed by blocking out the mind for all I know, but in other religions meditation is filling the mind, not emptying it.
