Yoga conspiracy !!??

This is an old post I made and forgot ,I think it is suitable for the Friday 13th

I read a strange news in the E-Newspaper"El-Masryon"" which is somehow can be considered an Islamist , in their tabloid section which is taken or in better word is copied from other cheap tabloid newspapers , there was this tiny news about veiled actress and singer who will be sharing in some yoga event in Sharm Sheikh that will be attended by one of the the Dalai Lama 's students !!

And this is just another suspicious event as from couple of years ,there was an announcement of some yoga event attended by some lady who turned to be coming in Egypt to spread Buddhism thankfully the security knew the trick and was so close to catch her but she just vanished

I remember this lady and I remember seeing the ads in the newspapers and the streets and there was no mention of yoga as far as I can recall

First of all I practice Yoga , well not that often but I tried to practice it last year regularly and thus I read about it extensively from different sources.

Yoga is not a practice from Buddhism , it is one of the six schools of the Hindu philosophy , you can check more about it in wikipedia's article which is full of information , yes there are some kinds of Yoga in Buddhism but if you read carefully you will find that it originated in India, the home land of Yoga , do not forget that both religions respect meditation , already Yoga is a combination between Meditation and exercise that gives you very healthy body 

I don't see anything in Islam against Yoga and its practice , because the main thing in Yoga is meditation and Islam doesn't prohibit meditation on the contrary ,Prophets Ibrahim "Abraham" and Mohamed "PBUH" both of them reached to God through the meditation , yes of course the holy spirit angel "Gabriel" came down to earth to them , but they thought in the world around and them , thinking in God's creation and the Universe I think is some kind of an order in the holy Quran, it is mentioned several times. For Instance when I used to practice Yoga ,I used to close my eyes ,trying not to think in anything at first and just say "Sobhan Allah" and similar praises inside me , of course I could not stay more than 20 minutes in the same place on one position doing nothing . Yes Yoga is the product of the Hinduism but in the end of the day I worship Allah and I pray to the Mecca's direction not lighting up candles for Shiva with all my respects to the Hindus

In fact I believe that one of the deadliest problem in the Islamic world now that we don't practice meditation like before in our golden age

Anyhow all I want to say this may not be some evil Buddhism conspiracy to invade the Islamic Egypt like the "El-Masryon" and the original tabloid wanted to make it appear like ,I don't know about the event or the organizers but I hate giving people the wrong kind of information based upon ignorance and misconception.With all respect those journalists working in an e-newspaper that claims to defend the Islamic view in Egypt first they shouldn't publish tabloid news based upon it was said , they shouldn't defame people except when they have a hard evidence, second thing , they should mention the complete information

You know it is like when Rosa El-Youssef magazine from couple of years talked about the scientology church and considered it a Zionist attempt to defame Christianity !!
