A Plague of “Spiritual Emergencies”

As we have noted, Hatha Yoga is alleged to be purely for physical fitness and devoid of the mysticism involved in other yogas. Such a claim is clearly false. Yoga is yoga, and all of the positions and breathing exercises are specifically designed for yoking with Brahman, the universal All of Hinduism. If the goal is physical fitness, one should adopt an exercise program developed for that purpose, not one designed for reaching godhood in moksha.

In one of the most authoritative Hatha Yoga texts, the fifteenth-century Hatha yoga-pradipika (still available today), its author, Yoga Swami Svatmarama, lists Lord Shiva (one of Hinduism’s trimurti, or triad of highest gods, that also includes Brahma and Vishnu) as the first Hatha Yoga teacher. Hindus honor Shiva as “The Destroyer.” No wonder yoga can be so destructive!
