scientifically cultivated
with the help of modern science, we forget here that
the paradigm of modern science however does not have
a place for subjective experience. Science also does
not know enough of yoga to be able to select statistically
significant numbers of genuine yoga practitioners
for its study.
We are also enamored by the concept of utilitarianism
and its application to yoga. For example yoga is studied
as body building exercise to promote its use in recreational
clubs, beauty parlors etc.
Genuine yoga is a culture of consciousness which
is unfortunately sacrificed at the alter of materialism.
Practitioners of Yoga are interested in laboratory
study and instant techniques to reach altered state
of consciousness. In externalizing yoga we are forgetting
the deep spiritual values of the subject. |
