My World: Ban On Suryanamaskar!!!

Recently a post in FB striked me...'Ban On Suryanamaskar'..I dont understand the need for such a movement in India- which holds the credit of having Yoga as its first 'Global Brand'. I am compiling some statistics in this regard...

"The latest "Yoga in America" study, just released by?Yoga Journal(yogajournal.com) shows that?Americans spend $5.7 billion a year on yoga classes and products, including equipment, clothing, vacations and media (DVDs, videos, books and magazines). This figure represents an increase of 87 percent compared to the previous study in 2004?almost double of what was previously spent."

"The Wal-Mart Web site has some 1,000 yoga products. Yoga is a multi-billion dollar industry in the USA, with some 30 million American practitioners, $27 billion/year revenues (from centres, audios, videos, books, conferences, retreats), over 10,000 studios/teachers, and more than 700,000 subscribers to Yoga Journal magazine.?

Over 98% of yoga teachers, instructors and students in the USA are non-Indians. Wonder why we Indians are not interested in teaching yoga ? especially when the 2 million strong Indian community in the United States is one of the most educated and wealthiest groups? "

Now, below is the most interesting fact.?Pakistan Standard Industrial Classification?has included YOGA as a part of their?Sports and Recreation Education.

"Pakistan Standard?Industrial Classification(All Economic Activities)?PSIC Rev. 4 (2010)

Sports and recreation education : Sports instruction (baseball, basketball, cricket, football, etc)?? camps, sports instruction?? cheerleading instruction?? gymnastics instruction?? riding instruction, academies or schools?? swimming instruction?? professional sports instructors, teachers, coaches?? martial arts instruction?? card game instruction (such as bridge)???yoga instruction "

What I dont understand is 'Why the so called secular Indians doesnot take it in this way? Are we that much STUPID?'

India is not an Independent country until and unless the subjects(The People) are freed from the submissive thoughts. Not only in this case but also in all fields of economy. Only when our economy is secured, we can prosper. Only then we can rise from the label of 'Developing to Developed'. If we dont do this now, the future generation will curse us for our inability of giving them a safe and secure place to live.

All these acts are done by those who dont want India to prosper. These are the acts that originated from their FEAR. They will continue to create problems in India. It is the people of India who has to decide whether they want a safe, secure, peaceful, economically secured nation or unsafe, insecure and economically unstable nation like Pakistan,Palastein, Iraq or Israeil.....
