Yoga to make money

God men (and women) in Gods own country- We see lot of fraudulent swamis and Christian preachers are being caught by police for manipulating religious beliefs and faith of common men. Hindu, Christian and Muslim pundits are all involved. They exploit the believers by miracle healing, predictions and other cheap tricks. Most of them are involved in immoral sex activities, accumulating immense wealth mainly in real estate. They enjoy a luxurious style of living, traveling in Lexus cars, mediating in air-conditioned parlors and studios.
Religion - This turn out to be a good way of making few bucks in all religion. If one is a failure in life, politics and religion are the best way to get rich quickly. But one has to be a crook. These god men and god women are giving bad name for genuine spiritual people. Yoga and Ayurveda are put to shame. These are good ways to sell drugs and sex for foreign tourists. This is degeneration of our culture and the price to be paid for the new world order-globalization.

The sole purpose of Yoga is spiritual in nature.
Yoga is promoted as medical treatment, as if it was a mere physical therapy program. Treatment modalities such as Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy are very useful and needed professions. However, designing such treatment methods and calling them “Yoga” is a tremendous disservice to both those professions and Yoga.
Yoga is a systematic program whose sole purpose is spiritual, whether you call it enlightenment, Self-realization, or other similar terms. The goal of traditional Yoga is spiritual in nature, and the side effects include physical healing.

Yoga for moneymaking?

Yoga is turned out to be a good commodity to make money. The promoters sometimes don’t openly say that it is for money, but instead use the terms like prosperity, success, abundance or affluence.
They claim, using the subtle methods and powers of Yoga one can get monetary benefits and great financial wealth. Yoga is not a moneymaking technique, and any use of Yoga for such a purpose is devolution of Yoga.

Kundalini awakening ?

There is lot of myth about this energy centre which lies at the lower end of autonomic nervous system in our body. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system lies on either side of the spine with several plexus along its path. The Yogis call it chakras. Stimulation of these plexus can result in various endocrine changes in our body. If not careful, it can cause imbalance in our nervous system and lead one into a state of pshycosis.Understanding these energy centers are very important while practicing Yoga.
