Hindus Irked At ‘Sexploitation’ Of Yoga
Written by: Eurasia Review

November 11, 2011

Hindus are upset at what they call as “sexploitation” of yoga.

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that yoga was a serious mental and physical discipline by means of which the human-soul (jivatman) united with universal-soul (parmatman). But for mercantile greed, market seemed to be flooded with books, magazines, DVDs, and other media showing yoga as some kind of potion to enhance sex life.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that it was simply misuse of age old and revered system of yoga.

Rajan Zed listed some of the popular titles selling in the market: “Better Sex Through Yoga” (Greaux, Langheld, Rich), promising “Easy Routines to Boost Your Sex Drive, Enhance Physical Pleasure, and Spice Up Your Bedroom Life”; “Sexy Yoga” (Barrett), giving “40 Poses for Mindblowing Sex and Greater Intimacy”; “Sex Yoga” (Brighton), showing “The Seven Easy Steps To A Mind-Blowing Kundalini Orgasm . . . No Partner Required!”; “Intimate Yoga for Couples” (Mishabae); etc.

2. I can't help it if my boyfriend gets turned on when I do yoga.
He can't help it either.

I have to shut myself up in the bedroom so that I can concentrate, keeps the critters out too.

So what if we also use it recreationally?

More people should try yoga and other types of relaxation and exercise, it's stupid and prudish to question or complain about their motivation.
