Query: What of Hatha Yoga? Is it a distraction from God? Is it necessary to
purge Karma from the physical form? Is there a limit while performing yogic
exercises?
Vijay
Kumar: I am blissfully unaware of what is contained in hatha Yoga, Tai
Chi or Aikido. I wanted to achieve God in the present life ... I treaded straight path of Jnana Yoga and
achieved the goal of my life ... Liberation from the cycle of birth and death
forever.
Anything which propagates one towards purging of Karma is
the right path ... there are no limitations in the Spiritual path ... in essence there is nothing else than
atman the soul within ... all Karma is directed towards purification of this atman the soul within from the
impurities surrounding it.
One can always perform Karma in a way that none of the physical tasks
being performed by us or life in human form gets affected. It is not the physical Self alone that is
performing but our atman the soul within is always trying to guide us on the physical journey. The small
inner voice always prompts and tries to correct us whenever we tend to go wrong.
How much is enough will be automatically told to us ... we have only to hear the small inner voice, which most
people avoid hearing while pursuing material goals of life. Nothing can be better than concentrating on God while
exercising or performing your daily routines.

Vijay Kumar "Atma Jnani" ... The Man who Realized God in 1993!
Full text of query: What of hatha Yoga... or any other 'Spiritually-minded' exercise for that
matter such as Tai Chi or Aikido. Is it simply a distraction from God? Or is it necessary to purge Karma from
the physical form and allow the physical form to meditate or pray properly and for longer periods of time?
How much is okay? Is there a limit if one is focusing on God while performing
exercises?
