What do you all think? I agree w/ Dr. Shukla...This seems to be a good solution to the passive nature of most Hindus when it comes to religion and the concomitant intolerance they have for American idiocy and ignorance about Hinduism.

I would disagree that this has to do with a radical Hindu agenda...a term that gets thrown at any attempt at an awareness campaign...

This is a eye opening article, I also agree with a lot of Dr. Shukla's points. His points are valid, Individuals don't always associate Yoga with being a thing "Hindu's created." Being brought up in a Hindu household I don't think I really knew about Yoga until all these Yoga Guru's came about trying to spread Yoga in the States. This is a great way of spreading awareness of what Hindu's have achieved.
