The Record
For many of the nearly 16 million Americans who practice
yoga, the ancient discipline is about shedding pounds, increasing
stamina, reducing stress, finding inner peace or some combination of
benefits.
For
Hindus, it is an integral part of their religion, a path toward mastery
over the mind and body and bringing them closer to the divine.
Some leading American Hindus don't mind the profusion of yoga classes in strip malls and on fitness-club mats, but they're asking that yoga instructors do more to explain the Hindu roots of the practice.
The Maryland-based Hindu American Society has launched a Take Back Yoga campaign to increase knowledge about yoga's importance to Hinduism.
