The Deluded	Can't Post

One is deluded when their knowledge is false and especially when one uses words without knowing their meaning. Like other religions, the purpose of Hinduism and its Yogas is to break ignorance and realize the Soul.

Hi Kristi,
Regarding "religion:" Similar to the Sanskrit word "yoga" ("to yoke"), religion is of course about "linking-back" (religio) and translates into the various systems that lead one to such realizations. Dharma is actually the more appropriate word relating to "the Hindu system" and its component parts; i.e., the many Yogas.

Just a reminder, the first post is simply a paraphrase of what Patanjali said. If many knew just how strict was this Saivite Hindu, it would give a whole new (and much more honest) meaning to "power yoga."
