YOGA IS UNGODLY
In the Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna says (quoting the relevant portions of the verses): “one can never become a yogi unless he renounces the desire for sense gratification,” “he should live alone in a secluded place” and with “subdued mind, devoid of fear, completely free from sex life, one should meditate upon Me,” for “A yogi is greater than the ascetic, greater than the empiricist, and greater than the fruitive worker. Therefore, O Arjuna, in all circumstances, be a yogi”–(6:2, 10, 14, 46).1
Clearly, if every man should begin practising this yoga, in about 130 years time, barring cloning and other methods of non-sexual production, mankind would be extinct.
To ensure the propagation of the species God instils pleasure in the act, but “yoga” is advocating that we deny/renounce this God-given joy. Sex/joy in the bed of marriage is not “lust.”
“Lust” “anger” and “greed” are not necessarily the “three gates of hell.” A person can harbour these emotions without acting on them.
One can be angry (even God is said to be angry at times) without harming another. One can be greedy but not hoarding; and not acquiring through illegal methods; and may even give in charity (benefitting others rather than sit secluded oblivious to the poor suffering/dying from need).
In the Bible God enjoined on Adam and Eve to fill the earth: “And God BLESSED them, and God said unto them, Be FRUITFUL, and MULTIPLY, and REPLENISH the earth” –Genesis 1:28).
There are many instances of marriage in the Bible, such as Abraham having a wife, Sarah–(Genesis 17:15) and finding a wife for his son, Isaac–(Genesis 24). Moses was married. And Solomon, the Wise, had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines–(1 Kings 11:3).
Marriage is so sacred that Jesus allowed severing the marriage-tie only in the case of fornication/adultery–(Mark 10:11-12. Even Jesus-had a wife)
In His Qur’an Allāh God states:
“And of His signs is this, that He created MATES FOR YOU from yourselves that you might find quiet of mind in them, and He put between you love and compassion”–(Qur’an 30:21);
“And marry those among you who are single, and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves. If they are needy, Allah will make them free from want out of His grace. And Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing”–(Qur’an 24:32).
Prophet Mohammad says: “When a man marries he has fulfilled half of the Deen (religion); so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half (of his religion)”–(Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 3096).2
It is well-known that Prophet Mohammad had, depending on who you read, from nine to thirty wives.
The Vedas also enjoin marriage and raising children:
“Oh man and woman, having acquired knowledge from the learned, proclaim amongst the wise the fact of your intention of entering the MARRIED LIFE. Attain to fame, observing the noble virtue of non-violence, and uplift your soul. Converse together happily, living in a peaceful home, spoil not you life”–(Yajur Veda 5.17, 44).
“May happiness await you with your CHILDREN! Watch o’er this house as mistress of the home. Unite yourself wholly with your husband. Thus authority in speech till old age will be yours”–(Rig Veda X, 85, 27).3
The Bhagavad Gita, which is a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna, also alludes to marriage and having children.
Krishna is said to have had eight main wives and many junior wives, numbering “16,000 or 16,100 in different scriptures.” Out of these 16,000 wives “every wife had 10 children,” and he had in total “1,61,080 Children.”4 Krishna even had Radha, another man’s wife, as consort.
Without doubt, to oppose the law/ordinance of God is to be against God; and to be, or to counsel, against God is unGodly.
In renouncing the world one is rejecting that which God made lawful. We need to balance our living; not suffer the material for the spiritual or suffer the spiritual for the material.
Since the Bible, Qur’an, Veda and Gita enjoin marriage, then evidently celibacy diametrically opposes the law of God to “Be FRUITFUL, and MULTIPLY, and REPLENISH the earth”–(Genesis 1:28).
Therefore yoga, which counsels that man “should live alone in a secluded place,” “completely free from sex life” and meditate only on Krishna is UNGODLY.
However, this yoga teaching of Krishna is NOT a Divine requirement. The Bhagavad Gita is mythology. And Swami Dayananda Saraswati wrote: (The Bhagavad Gita) “Being opposed to the Veda, it cannot be held to be an authority.…Krishna could never be God.”5
And in his book The Way To True Worship, (p. 1), Anoop Chandola wrote:
“The first recorded book of the Hindus is the Rig Veda. In it, “being” or sat is said to have its beginning in non-being or asat. More than a thousand years later, the Bhagavad Gita challenged this view, holding that there is no “non-being” state of being.”
(If Krishna is the Rg Veda and “the knower of the Vedas” and the “compiler of Vedanta”, as he declared, he should not have “challenged” the teaching of the Rg Veda more than a thousand years later in the Bhagavad Gita. He is clearly challenging himself. GOD CHALLENGING HIMSELF?).
Anoop Chandola also explains in the same book noted above (P. 9):
“The Vedas included several major gods and goddesses some of whom must have been culture heroes….As the tradition of honoring culture heroes continued, in due course new heroes were added, two of them most important: Rama and Krishna”–(Emphasis/color added).
Thus, not only is Krishna not God to make such a “yoga” pronouncement but this yoga is opposed to the Divine ordinance of procreation.
While there is merit in exercise and mediation (refining one’s self into oneness with God), yoga as the way to God has no Divine foundation.
Clearly YOGA IS UNGODLY.
Equally significant. The word “OM/AUM” which Hindus chant/utter in their meditation (and which Hindus consider to refer to God) is NOT mentioned in the Rg Veda.
Regarding the Gayatri mantra of the RgVeda which reads:
“Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo
Devasya Dhi Mahi
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodyat”
(“That Sun, bright and pure,
the god’s great wisdom
–may he sharpen and refine our intellect”)
Abdul Haque Vidyarthi points out in his book Muhammad in World Scriptures that to give meaning to this Gayatri mantra, “the pandits prefix these four words which DOES NOT EXIST in the Veda Om bhur bhava svaha. The word Om, it may be noted, is NOT FOUND ANYWHERE in the Rig Veda. These four words they interpolate and insert before the Gayatri mantra for the reason that it may yield some significance at least.” (Emphasis added, .For more on this see Mohammad-and Moulood).
Another source points out: “Om is not mentioned in the ancient Rig-Veda. The only possible indirect reference is in hymns 1.164.39 which speaks of the syllable (akshara) that exists.”— Presentation transcript” (For more see

Clearly, Om/Aum is meaningless.
OM/AUM DOES NOT EXIST.
