Yoga: Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning 'to join' or 'to yoke' or 'to unite'.

A note from Chris Lawson

Freedom from the dangers of Yogic philosophy, its occult roots, and the forces of darkness that produce Yoga's "spiritual emergencies"?

Yoga: Sanskrit root 'Yuj,' meaning 'to join,' ' yoke,' or 'to unite.' Freedom from the dangers of Yoga, Yoga's occult roots, the forces of darkness, and "spiritual emergencies"?

The philosophy of Yoga and the teachings of Yoga are rooted in pantheistic, evolutionary, occult monism. The many occult (hidden/unseen) manifestations that Yoga and yogic methods produce are one hundred percent opposed to the person, ​nature, work, ​and mission ​of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
​
Here are some resources to help you navigate the confusing Western idea that Yoga and its teachings are innocent and harmless or that Yoga can somehow be "Christianized" or turned into "exercise."

Destructing humanity in the name of "exercise"?

Escaping the dangers of Yoga through Jesus Christ!

Chris Lawson with friend Sam and local village resident in South India.

On this trip to India, I assisted my friend Sam as we worked alongside a native Christian outreach in Southern India. We visited orphanages, shared the Gospel in a handful of jungle villages, spoke at a pastor's conference, and visited a youth prison where we saw a wonderful Christian outreach ministry to many young men.
​
​We were also able to speak with several pastors who—before becoming Christians—were enslaved entirely to the yogic/occult worldview of Hinduism. These men are deeply grateful to have fled from these magical/occult beliefs and the forces of darkness—through the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Evil spirits had enslaved these men to the mysterious occultic powers of Yoga and the Hindu worldview since their youth. The men now serve as Christian pastors, and they help many people to become free from Hinduism and the baleful unseen (occult) forces behind every form, style, and school of Yoga.

The Lord Jesus Christ is able to set people free from the spiritual forces of darkness!
