The Background of Yoga
Die agtergrond van joga

Where Can Yoga Take You?
Waarheen kan joga jou lei?

In view of the growing interest in yoga, we might ask: ‘Is yoga simply an exercise routine that will give the practitioner a healthy, slim body and some peace of mind?
Met die oog op die toenemende belangstelling in joga kan ons vra: ‘Is joga bloot ’n oefenprogram wat die beoefenaar daarvan ’n gesonde, slank liggaam en ’n mate van gemoedsrus sal gee?

The book Hindu Manners, Customs and Ceremonies relates the experiences of two yoga novitiates who were under the guidance of a guru.
Die boek Hindu Manners, Customs and Ceremonies vertel die ondervindinge van twee jogabeginners wat onder die leiding van ’n ghoeroe gestaan het.

Transcendental meditation, a close adjunct of yoga, has been popularized by film stars and rock musicians.
Rolprentsterre en rockmusikante het transendentale meditasie, wat nou verbonde aan joga is, gewild laat word.

The objective of yoga as a discipline is to lead a person to the spiritual experience of being “yoked” to or merged with a superhuman spirit.
Die doel van joga as ’n dissipline is om iemand te lei na die geestelike ondervinding om verbind te word of een te word met ’n bomenslike gees.

Is yoga suitable for Christians?’
Is joga gepas vir Christene?’

According to Patañjali, yoga is “a methodical effort to attain perfection, through the control of the different elements of human nature, physical and psychical.”
Volgens Patandzjali is joga “’n stelselmatige poging om volmaaktheid te bereik, deur beheer te hê oor die verskillende elemente van die menslike natuur, fisies en psigies”.

So once again we ask: ‘Can yoga be practiced simply as a physical exercise to develop a healthy body and a relaxed mind, without any involvement with religion?’
Ons vra dus weer eens: ‘Kan joga bloot as ’n liggaamlike oefening gebruik word om ’n gesonde liggaam en ’n ontspanne verstand te verkry, sonder enige betrokkenheid by godsdiens?’

From its inception until the present time, yoga has been an integral part of Eastern religions, now particularly Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism.
Vandat joga ontstaan het en tot vandag toe, was dit ’n integrerende deel van Oosterse godsdienste, in ons tyd veral van Hindoeïsme, Djainisme en Boeddhisme.

Thus, the book Hindu World calls yoga “a code of ascetic practices, mainly pre-Aryan in origin, containing relics of many primitive conceptions and observances.”
Die boek Hindu World noem joga dus “’n kode van asketiese gebruike, hoofsaaklik van voor-Ariese oorsprong, wat oorblyfsels van talle primitiewe opvattings en voorskrifte bevat”.

People are moving away from churches and creeds, feeling free to take yoga courses, read a book about Oriental mysticism, attend meetings where preachers offer healing, or go to Afro-Brazilian ceremonies.
Mense beweeg weg van kerke en geloofsbelydenisse af en voel dat hulle vry is om jogakursusse te volg, ’n boek oor Oosterse mistiek te lees, vergaderinge by te woon waar predikers aanbied om mense gesond te maak of om na Afro-Brasiliaanse plegtighede te gaan.

People suffering from stress, depression, and frustration have also turned to yoga for solace and solutions.
Mense wat aan spanning en depressie ly of gefrustreerd voel, het hulle ook tot joga gewend vir vertroosting en oplossings.

Then they were put into detailed, written form by the Indian yogic sage Patañjali as the Yoga Sutra, which remains the basic instruction book of yoga.
Toe het die Indiese jogawysgeer Patandzjali dit in ’n breedvoerige, geskrewe vorm omgesit, bekend as die Jogasoetra, wat nog steeds die basiese instruksieboek van joga is.

Hindu philosophers admit that the practice of yoga can give supernatural powers, even though they usually claim that this is not the ultimate goal of yoga.
Hindoefilosowe erken dat die beoefening van joga iemand bonatuurlike kragte kan gee, hoewel hulle gewoonlik beweer dat dit nie die hoofdoel van joga is nie.

The objective of yoga as a discipline is to lead a person to being merged with a superhuman spirit.
Die doel van joga as ’n dissipline is om iemand te help om een te word met ’n bomenslike gees.

Yoga —Just an Exercise or Something More?
Joga—Net ’n oefenprogram, of is daar meer by betrokke?

But experimenting with Yoga and Asiatic religions —as was planned for one class trip— is hardly appropriate for a Christian. —1 Corinthians 10:21.
Maar om met joga en Asiatiese godsdienste te eksperimenteer—soos daar vir een klasuitstappie beplan is—is beslis nie gepas vir ’n Christen nie.—1 Korinthiërs 10:21.

• Why do Christians recognize that yoga goes beyond mere exercise and is dangerous?
• Waarom erken Christene dat joga meer is as blote oefening en dat dit gevaarlik is?

Yoga is a calm way to relax and stretch at the same time.
Joga is ’n rustige manier om terselfdertyd te ontspan en te strek.

The accounts tell us that he pursued a course of meditation, fasting, Yoga, and extreme self-denial, yet he found no spiritual peace or enlightenment.
Die verslae deel ons mee dat hy ’n weg van meditasie, vaste, Joga en uiterste selfverloëning gevolg het en tog geen geestelike vrede of verligting gevind het nie.

They may search for it in religion, meditation seminars, or yoga groups.
Hulle soek moontlik daarna in godsdiens of in meditasie- of jogagroepe.

Whatever health instructors may say to the contrary, yoga does not stop with physical exercises.
Ongeag wat gesondheidsinstrukteurs dalk sê om die teendeel te probeer bewys, joga is nie net liggaamlike oefeninge nie.

How far back in history can yoga be traced?
Tot hoe ver in die geskiedenis kan joga teruggevoer word?

Can yoga be practiced without any religious overtones?
Kan joga beoefen word sonder dat dit enige godsdienstige implikasies inhou?
