True wisdom of bikram yoga
People are fascinated by the claims made by the bikram yoga masters who often come with these promises Research shows that yoga has been highly misunderstood in the west and therefore plenty of fatal errors were detected in the way yoga is implemented.
Closer observation reveals that the unique culture of each race has dramatically influenced the way yoga is practiced. The western busy lifestyles certainly do not provide much space to contemplate on this philosophy. For instance, meditation is the crux of this philosophy but busy Americans do not possess the time to spend in a few hours of relative sessions every day. The principle of Hinduism that governs the yoga practice does not recognize the greed for power and wealth, which is obviously a value of prime importance in the western world.
True wisdom, as defined by the parameters of the Hindu religion would be an impossible feat to achieve when this paradigm is adopted. It takes patience and time to experience a successful meditative session. This is what the westerners lack.
