Peace:
I confess I do not know you well, and I do not want to make assumptions about you, or your sense of indignation, right and wrong, anger, etc.
I HAVE A lot OF EXPLANATIONS against Hinduism, New Age, etc., in ALL its forms (from personal experience)--1 John 2:18 says "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time."
I have had different things "work", over the years, at different, ALL led by the Holy Spirit. After leaving the cult, I did NOT stop street evangelizing--far from it. And, I belonged to solid, Scriptural churches over the years, since I left.
Berg lied--they ARE out there, and are ACTIVE, and MOST are VERY interested in scientific apologetics and the New Age occult, and the Yoga occult. I have taught it in several cities to many people--not HUGE groups, but very interested people, nonetheless.
Someone I have been ministering to lately, is VERY interested about my testimony of getting saved a month after I had a Yoga demon rebuled out of me silently by a "baby" Christian.
Yogananda had 16 mantras--I won't bother to list them. They were assigned according to age, while they pretended there were literally thousands. To the "mahamantra" (kind of like the "Hare Krishna's chant" the initiate brought a new handkerchief, fresh fruit and/or fresh flowers". Then, the initiaTORS themselves chanted, inviking the "deva" that would become assigned to the new devotee.
That was without exception. And, repackaged or not, there never was ANYTHING scientific about TM--it was ALL B.S. Again, I can prove it.
Some Hatha Yoga was taught; yes. I prefer Pilates for physical limberness, free weights for strength, and swimming for cardio, at my age (57, with much arthritis). Far superior.
Hatha advertises you PUBLICALLY to demons, and yes, you WILL have demonically controlled experiences as a DIRECT RESULT; I promise.
They also claim "levitation". It amounts to bouncing around on matresses, and merely HOPING to "bounce"--even if they got several FEET off the floor, I wouldn't be impressed; though. The devil can do miracles--so what--only Jesus saves!
The Vineyard movement, and many, many other churches, is/are alive and well, in the US and overseas. I found out that, like HE spoke to Elijah in the cave", God had "reserved to Hiomself" far more REAL servants than Berg lied to us about--I became self-righteous believing his crap. I was SO WRONG!
Big hint: recent ex-cultists ARE "spiritual babies"; by definition.
Just exactly what are you so angry about; and do you think it is justified?
