The Christian Yoga Deception

Should Christians participate in yoga? #QuestionsThatRock

When I went into the new age I studied a Hindu by the name of Paramahansa Yogananda. I thought Christians didn't understand their own Bible because they rejected the spiritual Supernatural aspects of the Bible.

Paramahansa Yogananda explained the supernatural aspects of the bible in an awesome New Age Hindu way.  Which was appealing to me at the time. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

He was the beginning of an onslaught of Hindu evangelism coming into the United States.





Hindus are selling YOGA as science and masking the fact that it's a spiritual, Supernatural Pagan religion that opens people up to the Demonic Realm.

Yoga teachers in the west are the leading missionaries of Hinduism.
It's not only sweeping America it's sweeping through the church.

Should Christians participate in yoga?

Hindu congress declares the "end of Christianity has come near";
Yoga teachers are the front missionaries of Hinduism;
Airing the Addisons talk about  Yoga;
Heidi St John talks to Jessica Smith about her yoga testimony;
