As there is simply nothing established scientifically about precisely what and how yoga benefits human beings, it is nothing more than a Hindutva promotion suggestion. Apart from totally mythological, unprovable, unhistorical, tales of fantasies in various scriptures, is there any one who could explain what Om means, in which language, with what proven result/benefits? I sincerely believe that Yoga is not at all a physical exercise, but it is fully mental and spirit-affecting practice, because in every physical exercise, there has to be a repetitive physical action/work under stress. There is none in yoga. A Yoga teacher, showed to me that SHAWASAN, for example, is nothing but telling yourself that life is ebbing out from your body, there is no exercise whatsoever. I do feel it is an unnecessary fad, promoted and financially supported by this govt. through people like Ramdev and others. The whole world, except some Northern India regions, has been living a healthy long life WITHOUT Yoga. Yoga is also a diversion. Also a mind-bend science, according some studies.

Yoga is being practiced by many countries now. Common stop blabbering that you have seen or read any benefit of yoga. Though OM chanting is not a necessity, saying yoga is not useful is the most insance sentence. Anything for your religion eh!

Yoga is being practiced from hundreds of years and it is popular and accepted around the globe. The people are not fool to do Yaga without any benefits. The people are simply criticise the Yoga for sake of criticism without any basis and knowledge.

Mr Daniel Thorat is totally ignorant or dont know anything about Yoga and just want to criticise without actually knowing anything about yoga
This is not a subject of debate. The same controversy occur during the last years programm also. Its a matter of one's interest. You want to chant it then chant but if you do not then you will be unable to have the benefits of the same. I think these are useless question raised by some vested elements before every such prog. just to drag the govt. into controversy. The day PM Modi took the oath some elements have started playing dirty games and still they are doing the same. Actually they do not have the wisdom to understand that the more they try to threw dirt on him the more he will be emerge stronger. There is no leader in the whole country today who is popular everywhere like him. The regional leaders are trying their best to occupy his position. Some body is trying it from Bihar, someone from UP and the other one from Delhi also. But Modi is one and cannot be replaced by anyone for the time being now.

Whether the whole country or the whole world likes our PM I do not know, but I respect him as our PM. But, unfortunately, the entire country is now realizing that there is much, much more of RSS Swayamsewak in Modi than a full, hard core Prime Minister of the whole India. Presenting Gita to foreign dignitaries, speaking with a Swastika backdrop in the Sinhasta snaan, attending and participating in every religious ceremony/function of a particular community versus zero for others, instigating and supporting (not opposing) States for beef ban, dismissing States for enhancing BJP rule, destroying true national leaders, patriots and bringing in new names with dubious national contributions to the country, forcing communal studies in schools and universities through teachers and VCs.... all show that chanting Om is part of the same agenda.

This is not an agenda. There is no forcefulness. If PM is giving Gita out what is the issue? That is just making others understand what Hinduism is all about. I know you want everybody to read bible only but unfortunately it will not happen in india.

Mr Daniel Thorat or whatever is your real name, you are just writing absolute nonsense and putting futile efforts to convince the readers with your view.
It starts with the vibration in the belly and moves towards the brain. When you are saying OOOO ( mouth open) you can feel the vibrations in the stomach region. When you are saying mmm (mouth close) you can feel the vibrations in the head. Touch the parts while doing.
Nothing can be Compulsory in Yoga ! Also, chanting of OM - has nothing to do with religion.
It is purely a scientific process in YOGA.
A person performing Yoga has to go thru the system involved in that particular Yoga Asana .
OM chanting has its own benefits. It purifies the mind from within, when practiced during the outgoing breath i.e. during exhaling .
It also cures the Headaches problems.
Without OM, the particular Yoga is not complete.
If one does not want to gain all those benefits, Nobody should force him to do so!
It is up to the performing person whether to get the full benefits of Yoga or remain incomplete in it without OM.
This is irrespective of Religion.
If people are short sighted, we can not force to become wise in one moment. They should decide to improve & educate themselves, in their own better interest.
