Life is B.ful I don't say single word against hindus, I respect all religion, and I speak about Ravi Shankar , who is cheating the world for making money , Not only Bakla Shankar, Sai Baba & Amridanta Mayi etc.. and people going to their "Ashram" for Drugs , sex etc.. Not for peace,

...Naik has to expose SSRS? He himself has been misleading the Muslims for along time by telling them what they want to hear and not what is the truth...Let's not get started at this.I will leave it at that.

Life is Beautiful...Indeed!

and his is exposed by Dr. Zakir Naik, video is already posted in 1st page.

We do not have any right to slander him with other words

Metrocity just remember slandering is biggest SIN

I heard they Deported lot of "baklas" from Qatar also. Were you One among them?

MC You said -

"Max Payne, If I am wrong , why art of living has been banned and kicked few people out of Qatar (I also heard)

Bakla Ravi Shankar is a big Devil and fraud, and I am not against the Yoga is just an exercise and a type of meditationas, and I am not against any religion. I am against making human as God

Even you pratice yoga , and you worship Bakla as God , you will not have stress free mind Max Payne"

You are able to say something like this just coz hinduism is a religion of peace and hindus are known for their tolerance. If you had said something even close to this about Islam there would have been a worldwide fatwa against you and your balls would have been chopped off in public. You are going too far. Respect others to deserve respect.Same goes for other infidels. Being calm is not a sign of weakness.Remember this at all times.

Life is Beautiful...Indeed!

PM, you are right but don't compare middle east with US. Middle east cann't afford that level of freedom yet because they are few in numbers. That is more political than religious I believe...

broad beans, horse beans? if so how is it related to human being

Why you are calling Bakla Ravi Shankar, because he is clapping like "hijada" (eunuchs)?.

Poor Max Payne, I am not a fan of Bakla Ravi Shankar, and I repeat my question why art of living has been banned and kicked few people out of Qatar. I have nothing against you, I am against this kind of fraud person making charity to make money and etc...

May God make you Stress free mind.

METROCITY! and I have never worshipped and nor will I ever worship human as GOD. Because of Common Sense which I have and YOU obviously don't. Common Sense tells me the difference between Devil like you and God almighty. Why do I have to tell you this anyways, its my personal life. Now you bakla go bugger off cause you seem to love bakla a lot.

Islam is a very liberal relgion and we never forcefully convert anyone to become a Muslim. Everyone is entitled to practice their own religion and they have complete freedom. That is why you will find thousands of people working here who belong to various religions besides Islam like Christians, Hindus, Budhists, Sikhs, Parsees, Ismailees, Aga Khaanis,Jews etc.. There is no law which says that so and so religion people are not allowed in this country.

Qatar is a free country and the expats here are free to practice their own relgion and do whatever they want as long as they don't mess with the locals or try to influence them in any way... The Christians even have a churce here to practice their religion so what else do you want?

Well, those local men/women should be free to choose how to live, at the end the lifestyle they prefer is their decision...or maybe it is normal to be like that, but not here?:)

oh really?

Yeah it is true that the art of living was closed down a few months back and some people were deported as well. The main reason behind that was some local men and women were so impressed & influenced by the art of living teaching and philosophy that they actually went to India and stayed at some ashram there to attain more peace or something like that..

Max Payne, If I am wrong , why art of living has been banned and kicked few people out of Qatar (I also heard)

Bakla Ravi Shankar is a big Devil and fraud, and I am not against the Yoga is just an exercise and a type of meditationas, and I am not against any religion. I am against making human as God

Even you pratice yoga , and you worship Bakla as God , you will not have stress free mind Max Payne,

Maxpayne don't worry man, you did no harm except uttering that balls stuff! I too watch Aastha channel and listen to some hindu spiritual lectures and take those that matter to me. What Ravi shanker preaching is good for humanity there is no doubt in it...

a Stress free mind and I agree with all the people who want to point this out to me and I don't care what you people do to try to instill hatred cause this is the act of the Devil himself. You Metrocity is the perfect example of the Living Devil. I also agree that I don't have a stress free mind because I don't practice Yoga but I used to earlier and was stress free then. I really don't care if you want to practice Yoga or not and you talking about Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in such derogatory way is nothing short of Slander, so whichever Religion you are following, you are a bane to it! BTW I ain't no Saint

You are right Kareena, yoga is just an exercise and a proven method of relaxation and stress release. keep it up. However there is no denial that peace and longevity can also be achieved by following Islamic practices of namaz and reading Quran. I cite an example of my grand mother whom in my life I never saw doing other than that besides her daily rituals. She peacefully survived 97 years without any ailment. But no one in this modern world can choose to lead such a life, hence other relaxation techniques are adopted by many...

And I do pray 5 times a day.. I listen to the Quran on my computer all day at work.. Whenever I go for my yoga classes, I make sure it does not clash with my magreb prayers in the evening. Please try to understand, yoga is just a form of exercise for the body and mind. It has got nothing to do with religion. It is just an exercise like swimming, aerobics, tennis, walking, cycling etc

Just adding more to nice to nice yes namaz and reading Quran can bring the same effects but if you are that much keen in uniting your soul and body why dont you try moraqba.

-----------------------------------------------------

When the eye becomes the heart, the heart becomes the eye ... Wasif Ali Wasif

Kareena, As a muslim did you ever try to pray 5 times a day in its proper form and time as instructed? Did you ever read The Holy Qur'an with a calm mind? You will get peace of mind and relaxation. Just try that. The Almighty already provided the way to relax and release the stress.

I used to be such a nut case.. I was so depressed, very stressed, worked up, nervous, irritated all the time.. Just could not take it anymore.. That was when I joined yoga last year in June.. I am very pleased to say that my life has changed a lot since then.. Yoga has transformed me into a new person. I feel so relaxed and happy all the time.. I am much more able to cope with stress than I was before I was introduced to yoga. Not only that, I have lost a lot of weight and I my skin is also trouble and acne free... As people ask me, you are glowing Kareena, it is love.. I say no, it is not love, it is just YOGA....

Max Payne, you are a big example , for art of cheating , since you are fan of Bakla Ravi Shankar should ask him make you Stress free mind first. Others please look into his comment "Metrocity. Come let me clap and take it away. Thanks for your Genius brain. yeah I get 100% of your money but you try something bakla with me and I break your balls 100% and make it 200% for both of them combined. Nice Common sense Eh!"

I don't think its anyone believe you having Stress free mind with this kind of comment.

for any Muslim ... but i think by doing only yoga for the purpose of exercise is fine.... there is no harm ...

am not a yoga fan ... :-)

the Govt. even they kicked few people out of Qatar due to this issue...

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

has to necessarily be a Hindu or get converted to practice it. Like I have written earlier "Yoga is practiced worldwide and by people from all religions" chanting is a part that can be avoided and many people do practice Yoga without the Chanting part like PM said.

I pray to the Lotus feet of the Supreme Guru who teaches the good knowledge, showing the way to knowing the selfawakening great happiness; who is the doctor of the jungle, able to remove the poison of the ignorance of conditioned existence.

To Patanjali, an incarnation of Adisesa, white in color with 1000 radiant heads (in his form as the divine serpent, Ananta), human in form below the shoulders holding a sword (discrimination), a wheel of fire (discus of light, representing infinite time), and a conch (Divine sound) - to him, I prostrate.

its just a couple of bad eggs vs 27mil secular citizens. nevermind the ban, the govt has done a lot to ensure religious harmony..malaysia is a muslim country but it is also a country where eid, chinese new year, diwali and christmas are all public holidays. and mosques, churches buddhist/hindu temples exist within a 5km radius of one another.

it should be a friggin model for world peace (if it werent for one or two thoughtless clerics).

Why need money Max payne , just clapps your hands in to two sides, and 100% its a matter of common sense.

in the whole world, which does not run on Money? How do you expect Ravi Shankar to spread the word around and catch all those flights without Money. How can we do anything without Money. Come on Criminal Israel its a matter of common sense. Without Money nobody can do nothing!

Max Payne, that is Ravi Shankar business, 'art of cheating" he is making Stress free him self making money. And by clapping his hands like "Bakla" can make for Violence free world. Its a business, also about the 40 countries please try to bring him in Qatar.

Yoga, like you said is just an exercise and is not a "God Man" business but for those who want to make money any thing can be converted into a "business". By the way you are insulting someone by calling him "bakla" without knowing what "Sri Sri Ravi shankar" he has done to serve humanity.

I am not trying to state that he is a God Man and I don't believe in God Men/women myself but Sri Sri Ravi shankar is a great person who has done a great deal for humanity. His main aim is to "Create a Stress free mind and a Violence free world" and if you find this offensive then No comments. But if you have tolerance you would read more from http://www.artofliving.org/

Sri Sri travels to nearly 40 countries every year, exemplifying his call to globalise wisdom. His universal message is that love and wisdom can prevail over hatred and distress.

PM , I agree with you, and I don't find anything wrong in Yoga, but worship a human as God which I don't agree like in India Shri Ravi Shankar , and Amridanta Mayi (former fish selling women)

Yoga is just an exercise and a type of meditation, but now it is a "God Man" business , like Bakla Shri Shri Ravi Shankar may be that is the reason Malasia banned Yoga

was shown because it symbolizes one form of Yoga "Padmasana" but it wasn't the God Shiva who started Yoga. He just practiced the "Padmasana" like you can see in the picture.

The word"Yoga" has many meanings out of which the most significant are "to control" and "to Unite". Yoga was a form of ancient exercise found in the "Vedas", meaning Knowledge(ancient script of Hinduism) to help control the mind and have a unison of mind and body. Since mind control is one of the biggest challenges to mankind, this form of exercise was introduced.The mind is traditionally conceived as the "king" of the psycho-physical structure which does its bidding (whether or not one has realized this). Because of the relationship between the mind and the body, the body must be first "tamed" through self-discipline and purified by various means. A good level of overall health and psychological integration must be attained before the deeper aspects of yoga can be pursued.

Yoga cannot be explained just in words it has to be experienced because Yoga focuses on different zones like the complete body, controlling the flow of energy inside the body(chakra's), different body postures(asana's) which helps to enhance your energy levels, meditation for enhancement of your spiritual level which can also improve your mind power, better control of your mind, improving the performance of your body and mind combined and also internal cleansing and removal of all negative energy from your body.

Yoga has evolved from many different forms over the years. Since approximate time of origin is between 900 and 500 BC, from the "Vedas" meaning Knowledge(ancient script of Hinduism). A form of Yoga called Ashtanga Yoga incorporates all the following

* Yama - code of conduct, self-restraint

* Niyama - religious observances, commitments to practice, such as study and devotion

* Āsana - integration of mind and body through physical activity

* Pranayama - regulation of breath leading to integration of mind and body

* Pratyahara - abstraction of the senses, withdrawal of the senses of perception from their objects

* Dharana - concentration, one-pointedness of mind

* Dhyana - meditation (quiet activity that leads to samadhi)

* Samādhi - the quiet state of blissful awareness, superconscious state.

That's "Yoga" in brief.

It's funny how people say "religion" when it's only ever one religion that seems to opress anything nowadays.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga

and you can read here how it is practiced in all the religions worldwide.

Once again a nonsensical discussion where people choose not to understand the context and instead go about giving their own judgments.

That's why say 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing'. And more dangerous then no knowledge :)

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur.

lIFEISBEAUTIFUL: Not a question of Islam being too weak, the individuals that have these views are the ones that doubt about their own faith, just like it happens during Ramamdan, when all food stores are closed all day, faith is something private.

part of Yoga or they are just ignoring it because it comes from India and equating it with religion is a really stupid act on their part because most of us must be aware that Yoga is practiced worldwide and people from all religions worldwide have used it and has transformed Yoga into a phenomenal success worldwide in turn helping millions of people globally to fight against stress and add energy to their lives. I think those people who wanted to ban it were more interested in inculcating Religion in people than helping them practice a very good exercise of the mind body and soul. Long live Yoga.

total sh1t

This is to the OP not to anyone specific - Is Islam so weak that it can corrupt Islam and "It can destroy the faith of a Muslim"?

I think the people who issue such fatwas should do some introspection.

Life is Beautiful...Indeed!

i did hatha yoga in my home country and im amazed because it cure me of my back pains. as far as i can remember, we did not chant anything, just breathing in and out properly. maybe in malaysia, they were banning certain yoga groups that used chanting.

As I have mentioned before, yoga is just a type of physical exercise and NO, we do not worship idols during yoga classes...

physical excerises.. are meant to keep you fit for living..

ALmighty has given the procedure us how to do it..

its nothing but.. NAMAZ/salat 5 times....

adopt it..

all other practices are rubbish......

I am well aware about your 'diplomacy' on attacking the faith. Whenever somthing comeup against the belief of islam, I used to comment on that, then you immediately says that "pls don't take this as an attack on faith, this is only my personal opinion".

See, I am a muslim and we have directives from Almighty on How to live your life. So whatever taught us to be followed to be a perferct muslim. There are nothing allowed to change Divine law by human as the Directives provided By Almighty is suitable for whole world and whole situation(you may differ on this, but i don't care as i am stating here about muslims only). So If almighty asked us to stay away from something, I am not going to raise a question about Almighty as you did. That is the difference between Muslim and Non Muslim. We know Almighty is the purest and He is aware about everything. He is the one created good and bad too. But He is the one who provided you the sense to distinguish good and bad and select the appropriate as yourself.

Nice too Nice: Yes, i understand what you mean just feal confused how can it be shirk and unforgivable if the Almighty is aware that the singing isn't intended to be religious but a form of helping you meditate, please don't take this as an attack to faith, just stating my personal opinion.

I am you and you are me, if you love i love, if you suffer i suffer

أنا أنت, و أنت أنا, إذا أحببت نفسك أحببت نفسي, إذا عانيتَ عانيتُ

Platao, I don't dis agree that Almighty is Supreme and He is able to distinguish everything. What I said was, being a muslim one cannot chant the prayers for idols while doing yoga whcih will be shirk and it is unforgivable sin infront of Almighty.

Nice too Nice: God, as supremebeing, can perfectly distinguish if you do something to challenge him or if you do it with any other more inocent act, just to give another example, God cares more about a purer heart that ain't religious than someone who is religious but not pure on heart. Anyhow, he loves us all :)

الله فقط يمكنه محاكمتي

I am you and you are me, if you love i love, if you suffer i suffer

blablabla, All beautiful names belong to Allah, but all the prayers made by those people who worship idols are not belongs to Allah. He never forgives Shirk.

Platao, People should do it prefect when they do something. The should stick to the fundamentals otherwise it will be considered as not sincere.

well, nice you won't do the things that give you discomfort. would you? should this be explicit?

"All beutiful names belong to Allah" Quran

Nice too Nice: What i mean is that people shouldn't be so strict, like it was explained here, the singing helps practicers to meditate. :)

Only God Can Judge Me

الله فقط يمكنه محاكمتي

I am you and you are me, if you love i love, if you suffer i suffer

أنا أنت, و أنت أنا, إذا أحببت نفسك أحببت نفسي, إذا عانيتَ عانيتُ

Platao, As a muslim my heart and mouth should act in the same way. Muslim should have belief on heart and it should reflect on his acts. One's act should not contradict with his words.

Nice too nice: You love God with your heart and not your mouth.

Only God Can Judge Me

الله فقط يمكنه محاكمتي

I am you and you are me, if you love i love, if you suffer i suffer

أنا أنت, و أنت أنا, إذا أحببت نفسك أحببت نفسي, إذا عانيتَ عانيتُ

Blablabla, Did I say that? I didn't say that doing yoga is haram or muslim will do yoga to worship hindu god. I said that if you use the chanting of hindu worship during yoga, that will be haram. Because a muslim is not allowed to chant the words which one have shirk on it. You can practice any physical exercise to keep you fit and healthy, the question is about going in line with shirk....

"Moderates in Malaysia slam ‘ban’ on yoga

KUALA LUMPUR: One of Malaysia’s highest Islamic bodies was under fire yesterday after its chairman said yoga was forbidden for Muslims because the practice would weaken religious faith.

Followers of yoga and moderate Muslim groups criticised the ruling by Abdul Shukor Husin, chairman of the government -backed National Fatwa Council. Yoga is hugely popular in mostly-Muslim Malaysia.

“I don’t think it had caused any Muslim to convert to Hinduism, neither has it weakened their faith,” said Norhayati Kaprawi, an official with Sisters of Islam, a private group which champions the rights of Muslim women.

“It is just an exercise like tai chi, which has its roots in Buddism,” she told the Sunday Star newspaper. She said her group’s staff had been holding yoga classes for the past year and that they would continue.

Rulings by the Fatwa Council are not legally binding on the country’s Muslims, and there are no laws to punish those who ignore Council decisions — but it is an enormously influential body.

Abdul Shukor decreed that yoga was forbidden because it involves the recitation of mantras and that it encourages a union with God that is considered blasphemy in Islam.

“The practice will erode their faith in the religion,” he said yesterday. “It does not conform with Islam.”

A veteran opposition lawmaker, Lim Kit Siang, said that the edict showed that Malaysia was heading towards a conservative type of Islam which could divide the multiracial country.

“It is sending a most unfortunate message that Malaysia, instead of moving towards a moderate and universal Islam, is moving towards an opposite direction which will create divisions,” he said.

Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, where more than 60% of the population of 27mn are Muslim Malays who practice a conservative brand of the faith.

About 25% of the population is ethnic Chinese and 8% is ethnic Indian, most of whom are Hindus.

Yoga, an ancient Indian aid to meditation dating back thousands of years, is a popular stress-buster in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.

Muslim yoga teacher Siti Suheila Merican said that while yoga practice should not involve worshipping, the physical movements were good for improving health.

“Worldwide it has been accepted as an excercise for health benefits,” she was quoted as saying by the Star newspaper. – AFP "

i dont think this will affect u guys, if they ban the yoga in malaysia, its non of our business

Nice,

I believe no muslim will do Yoga to worship Hindu Gods(Idols). Yoga is done for health, so where is the need for fatwa? There is controversy over uttering OME, but faith comes from heart not lips...

I agree with AbgLee. If you use chanting of worship to hindu god, it become haram for muslim. This is only applied to the practicing mulsims. The one who doesn't care about the teaching of Islam doesn't have to worry about this Fatwa also.

I think the key point of the Fatwa, is, Yoga is okay unless there is a Hindu spiritual elements e.g chanting and worship, then it becomes haram.

Do you have those things in Yoga?

Kareena: Exactly my point, thanks :)

How about that.

Gosh.. People are getting more and more fanatic day by day.. This is the absolute height.. I have been going for yoga classes at ICC and never ever have I felt that I am doing something against Islam.. Who gives such ideas to people I wonder.. Crazy.

Hindus walk upright on their legs.

Hindus drink water.

Hindus sleep at night by lying down on bed.

And so on......

And Hindus have been doing these things much before the birth of Islam.

Now I wonder when the Malaysian clerics will issue an edict against these.

a.k.a.: You made the wrong question ;)

You should have asked: Are muslims that impure that they need to be told what to do everytime?

Is being a muslim that difficult that you can't resist temptation from exercise and cartoon characters? I don't get the need to kept away from all that is haram???

In Doha, no mall on Friday for singles

In Singapore, no chewing gum

In Saudi, no women driver

there are those kind of rules everywhere you guys!!

if you don't like it do not follow

if a broken rule is a law,you might be jailed

if a broken rule is a religious law, you might not go to heaven

anyway, it is your choice...

if you can't do yoga, do something else- pilates maybe?

.its good that we are based in in DOha,

.

.in Malaysia, no yoga.

.in Iran no friendster /facebook.....

.what else / where else??????

.

I remember watching this news on TV sometime back, that Two Church halls ban yoga in UK

They banned a yoga teacher and her classes saying that Yoga is un-Christian.

But issuing a funny 'fatwa' is not really a new thing for church too, anybody remembers Gaileo Galilie...?

So, who cares really!!!
