Guru's book claims Jesus practised yoga"

Jesus was resurrected from the grave. He didn't need inventions of man to tell Him how to function.

[ashtanga]

Yoga is simply a very logical and effective exercise program. I can't say too much about meditation as it relates to yoga, because the former comes from the Buddhist tradition. Neither of the two disciplines are incompatible, and each should dovetail nicely with Christianity. Meditation is basically learning how to sit still. One doesn't "meditate" at all, but rather the opposite; one learns not to think for periods at a time in an effort to live in the present. At bottom, there is a logic to it all, indeed a supreme logic.
