Yoga originated out of hinduism or buddhism ? |
i donno much but i read hinduism is older so it should be out of hinduism Yes, it originated out of Hinduism. Most people only know the physical forms of yoga, called hatha, but those techniques area actually preparatory techniques for the higher practices of the spiritual types of yoga such as jnana, karma, and bhakti. If you are interested in the yoga teachings of Lord Krishna, then one thing you may want to focus on to learn and practice in a more nonsectarian manner is the Uddhava Gita. The Uddhava Gita is a summation of the essence of the Bhagavad Gita (and the simplest and most direct practice of yoga), and so it is eminently suitable for nonsectarian, universal teaching which is the essence of Hinduism. Here is a short summation of the Uddhava Gita which is found in the Srimad Bhagavatam (also known as Bhagavata Purana) 11.7: EPILOGUE - LORD KRISHNA'S LAST SERMON At the end of another long sermon comprising of more than one thousand verses, disciple Uddhava said: "O Lord Krishna, I think the pursuit of God as You narrated to Arjuna (in the Bhagavad Gita), and now to me, is very difficult indeed, for most people; because it entails control of unruly senses. Please tell me a short, simple, and easy way to God-realization." Lord Krishna upon Uddhava's request gave the essentials of Self-realization as follows: 路 Do your duty, to the best of your ability, for Me without worrying about the outcome. 路 Remember Me at all times. (Note that this is the point of chanting things like the mahamantra - Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Kare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare which is often chanted in kirtan or a variation of it. The whole point of kirtan and mantra is remembrance.) 路 Perceive that God is within every living being. Mentally bow down to all beings and treat all beings equally. 路 Perceive through the activities of mind, senses, breathing, and emotions that the power of God is within you at all times, and is constantly doing all the work using you as a mere instrument and a trustee. I recommend the International Gita Society as they are nonsectarian, offer affordable translations of the Bhagavad Gita with commentary, and can help teach you the basics without having to spend a lot of money or submit to some guru you know nothing about: http://www.gita-society.com/ http://www.gitainternational.com/... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/internation... They also have an online Gita study and discussion forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gita-talk/... I hope these are helpful! Yoga is from Hinduism, but Buddhism made Yoga an important part of their religion, because the founder of Buddhism(Buddha) was Hindu, and believed Yoga was important for inner peace. you are right . yoga is originated out of hinduism The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Yuj' which essentially means to join or unite. The union referred to is that of the individual self uniting with Cosmic Consciousness or the Universal Spirit. Yoga is a means to achieving this goal. Born in India, almost 26,000 years ago, Yoga is believed to have evolved during the period of the 鈥楽at Yuga鈥? also called the Golden age. This period became known as a time of everlasting peace and abundant blessings, filled with seekers of the Eternal Truth. That is why, probably, even today we associate yoga with sages and hermits. It was not until the discovery of the Indus- valley civilization, the largest civilization, that knowledge about the origin of Yoga surfaced. Excavations give evidence of yoga鈥檚 existence during this period; yogi -like figures engraved on soapstone seals have been unearthed. In fact, it was the Aryans, migrating from the north- west, who were instrumental in discovering yoga. http://www.kirlian.org/hinfo/yogatoc.htm... http://easylink.playstream.com/yogason/m... Yog originated in India about 2800 B.C. and stemmed from the Vedic cultrure which also spawned Hinduism, however it has become intertwined with many religions over time and no one religion can really claim it for thier own.
