Jesus did yoga
An Indian author has claimed that Jesus was actually born in India, not in Israel, as Christians
have long believed. – and he did yoga too. Ganesh Damodar Savarkar, in his book ‘Christ
Parichay’, claims that Jesus was actually from Tamil Hindu. Moreover, Savarkar claims that
Christ practiced yoga, which he learned from India. The controversial claims have been played
down by experts, however. “Such a book will hardly disturb true Christians,” Father Warner
D’Souza, senior priest and the director of the Bombay Archdiocesan Heritage Museum, was
quoted as saying by an American online news service.
Meale’s appeal
Mansfield MP Sir Alan Meale has revealed that yoga is something close to his heart. The
Labour MP was a supporter of celebrating the International Day of Yoga (now held every
year on June 21) during an early day motion (EDM) in parliament. An EDM is a formal
motion submitted for debate in the House of Commons. They are seen more as a way
for backbenchers to draw attention to an event or cause. Other motions supported by
Meale were pretty eclectic, including welcoming the success of the Northern Ireland
football team at Euro 2016 and praising presenter Colin Murray for quitting TalkSPORT.
Born to chill
The Dutch army is turning to yoga to help soldiers deal with stress more effectively. A yoga
teacher has been brought in by armed forces chiefs to get military personnel working on
yoga exercises to better process their stress and deal with other traumatic experiences.
Initially, it means training up army sports instructors to incorporate yoga into their general
exercise and fitness programmes. The military in other countries, including the UK and
USA, also incorporate elements of yoga into their overall fitness programmes. Yoga is also
widely used to help combat veterans returning from war.
