Jesus, the Sole Yogacharya: New Conversion Agendas by Christian Church.

published on July 23, 2014

The Christian church’s conversion agenda now has a fresh tool: ancient India’s Yoga. A centre initiated by a private hospital of Muvattupuzha is now embroiled in a controversy after making specific attempts at conversion. The aim is clear: proselytizing via a fake message that Jesus is the ‘one and only Yogi’.
 

The centre’s website has indicated that it has now become common the Yesu Namaskaram, with an affiliation from Physical Education and Sports University of Tamil Nadu. However, nowhere in the University website does it indicate an affiliation to the particular centre.

The class, under the guise of Yoga lessons, with the title ‘Yesu Namaskaram’ has been initiated by a retired nun of Kottayam Medical College. It is said that the place is witnessing large scale efforts in religious conversion.
 

The nun is said to have learnt the basics of Yoga from Vivekananda Kendra, Bangalore and then begun her own centre. She teaches all Yogic Asanas, including Suryanamaskara, but with the message super imposed that Jesus Christ propounded of Yoga.
 

After having gauged from the general trend that Yoga is now attracting major sections of society, it is confirmed that the church has devious schemes of ‘Christianizing’ Yoga. Sources have indicated that all those sitting in the apex body of the congregation too have put in their consent in promoting the same. Another of their secret agendas is the amassing of wealth using Yoga.
