The pre-Vedic roots of Yoga – Koenraad Elst
514 514 people viewed this event.
Many in India take it as a dissenting view, even a heresy, to deduce yoga (or anything worthwhile) from an earlier source than the Vedas. This view differs indeed from the post-Vedic tradition prevailing in recent centuries; but it agrees with the information from the oldest texts, especially the Vedas themselves. We present both the direct and indirect evidence.
Koenraad Elst, Leuven 1959, is a PhD in Oriental Philology & History, has written books in this field, taught in several Indian universities, and is recipient of two awards; and he is a Board member of the Dutch-speaking-Belgian Federation of Yoga (YFN). Mail: [email protected]
