Another complication to the situation is that it might not be so straightforward that yoga’s Hindu chants to more than one god represent idolatry. Many other theologians have posited that since they all essentially represent manifestations of the one primary godhead, Brahman, the additional Hindu gods can be seen as analogous to Jewish mysticism’s concept of the sephirot, the kabalistic manifestations of the Jewish God’s various components of holiness.

Note: I continue to make inroads on the international scene! The phrase “other theologians” in the above quote links to my amazon.com book page! Also, I was recently contacted by a writer for the English version of Haaretz, a leading Israeli newspaper, who was researching yoga and Judaism due to a yoga studio opening in Jerusalem. He quoted me in his article, and the article was picked up by another Israeli web site called Vos Is Neias. You can find the Haaretz article at www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1074339.html under the title “Kosher-style yoga” which was published on 04/03/09 and the Vos Iz Neias article at www.vosizneias.com, under the title “Jerusalem – Kosher-Style Yoga for Observant Jews Kept Very Pareve” which was published on 03/26/09.
I have also been contacted by a freelance writer for The Forward, who is conducting research for a potential article on yoga and Judaism.
The beat goes on.

Quote of the Week 419 - Listening/Hearing for Non-material Sustenance
Every one who is thirsty, come and drink. He who has no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good. Let your soul delight in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, that your soul will live…
--Isaiah 55:1-3, The Living Torah translation by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan
