Meditation for August 20th, 2016
Yoga is for Nazis
Yoga is a popular Eastern form of meditation practiced by hippies across our great country. They will adopt a lot of the Hindu religious practices to accent their yoga practice.
First off to understand the Hindu religion, one must understand the Hindu caste system.
There are basically four castes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas & Shudras. The Brahmins are the priestly class, and often the whitest and most Aryan, or Persian while the Shudras and later the untouchables, are the darker skinned Indians from the southern part of the sub-continent.
The Brahmins also used a swastika as a symbol of luck and auspiciousness. You were lucky if you were at the top of the caste system practicing yoga: white.
In the Hindu caste system, it is believed that the Brahmins are a higher form of human over the other darker skinned castes, so therefore they are direct conduits to all the gods.
The Buddhists and the Jainism adopted the caste system and the swastika into their own religious rituals.
The Nazis adopted the idea of Aryanism and the Swastika when they took power of Germany.
They believed that the early Aryans were white, blonde hair, blue eyed gods who created modern civilization before being bred out by the impure.
Heinrich Himmler even was a huge advocate of yoga and encouraged his SS soldiers to practice it, for it was the pursuit of real ‘Aryan’ people. He even carried on him a battered copy of the Bhagavad Gita, which he used as inspiration for the Holocaust with all its tales of terror and morbid cruelty.
There is more in the part that yoga played in the holocaust, but there is limited space in a meditation to expound on how the Nazis used yoga, Aryanism, the caste system and the swastika for on of the the twentieth centuries greatest monstrosities against human kind.
Therefore, yoga is for Nazis.
Namaste, mein Fuhrer.
