from today's berita harian: "GEORGETOWN: Yoga, sejenis senaman harian yang kebanyakan pergerakannya berdasarkan unsur dalam agama Hindu, dipercayai boleh memesongkan akidah umat Islam jika mengamalkan senaman itu. Pensyarah Fakulti Pengajian Islam Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Prof Zakaria Stapa, menasihati orang Islam yang mengamalkan senaman berkenaan supaya menghentikannya. "Yoga yang berasal daripada masyarakat Hindu, menggabungkan unsur keagamaan dan penyembuhan jiwa kerana percaya yoga boleh menyatukan mereka dengan tuhan."
"Beliau berkata, umat Islam yang tiada pengetahuan agama mengikut saja amalan berkenaan tanpa mengetahui boleh memesongkan akidah mereka. Katanya, umat Islam patut menggunakan ajaran Islam seperti solat untuk mencari ketenangan jiwa yang dilakukan secara teratur lima kali sehari. “Jika umat Islam mahu menyihatkan tubuh badan, solat adalah pilihan terbaik dengan posisi tubuh teratur untuk semua anggota badan sambil berzikir dengan ayat al-Quran."
my take? no comment! :P

huh??? ..... i never knew that those Yoga Masters preach Hinduism!
all i know is "strech....strech....balance...balance...."
has that Prof. personally attnded even a session of Yoga class?
Yoga is all about physical balance and ppl practice yoga for health purposes.
eemm...
tu la.. the basis of it IS from hinduism..
howver, if a person doin yga just for the sakr of exercising, i thnk it should not be a problem..
THAT is precisely my point.
sekadar health purposes, its OK.
i was taught in History - Nabi Muhammad went into a cave to meditate and eventually, he discover the teaching of Islam (don't blame me if the facts are wrong but THIS IS WHAT I WAS TAUGHT IN SCHOOL AND IN HISTORY TEXTBOOKS)
hence,with reference to the above, mediataion does not necessary mean sesat!
kalo pegangan ajaran kuat, sekali mana dekat pun syaitan pada kita, ajaran yg mulia tersebut tidak akan bergoyah!
i was told that when Lord Buddha was at his final stage before reaching the long-sought after stage called "Nirvana", Lord Buddha was approached and seduced by demons of test his perseverance in terms of greed, sex etc.
Lord Buddha overcame those temptations!
and from this, i could observe that if you have the correct mind and hold strongly to what your belief, no matter how strong the other force is, you will not be swept off!
hence, don't blame the opposite force if one has a weak grasp of what his own religion preaches!
