SINGAPORE, (Bernama) -- Hindus are not going ga-ga over Lady Gaga's nude yoga postures in new video! Rather, they are fuming over the international pop icon's trivialisation of the revered system of yoga in the video.
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said yoga was a revered age-old tradition and deserved more seriousness and respect.
Such depiction by Lady Gaga was a kind of distortion of the esteemed practice for her self-serving agenda, and could be upsetting for the serious and genuine seekers and devotees, he noted.
Zed, who is Universal Society of Hinduism president, further said that yoga, referred as “a living fossil”, was one of the six systems of orthodox Hindu philosophy and was highly venerated in Hinduism.
It was actually a serious mental and physical discipline by means of which the human-soul (jivatman) united with universal-soul (parmatman).
Zed pointed out that some sages had described yoga as the silencing of all mental transformations, which led to the total realisation of the Supreme Self.
