With the far-right (fascist) BJP Hindu Nationalists currently in charge of the government of India – all kinds of cultural and ideological perversions are taking place both within and outside of India! I suspect that normal Indians are just trying to “sit this out” – whilst they wait for normalcy to return to the public face of India’s ancient physical and spiritual culture! Of course, the iconology of the world religion cannot be copyrighted (as it is generally acknowledged that such material belongs to the cause of freely bettering humanity) – but this is not the case with Bikram Choudhury (born 1944) – who has instructed his lawyers to “copyright” the postures (“Asana”) of Yoga which he uses on a daily basis during his exercise classes! This approach would be similar to “copyrighting” the Christian “Cross” or the Chinese “Yin-Yang” (Taiji) Symbol! Normally, this cannot be done, but Bikram Choudhury certainly thinks that he now “owns” the ancient (and “common”) Yoga postures he routinely teaches. Of course, behind the scenes, Bikram Choudhury does not practice “Yoga” – but hires a team of Nutritionists, Physicians, Dieticians and Keep-Fit Experts (from all over the world) who are tasked with keeping him “in shape”! Bikram Choudhury then falsely presents the resulting “physique” (again – “not gay”) to the unsuspecting general public as being the product of the “inactivity” routinely associated with Yoga-practice! Bikram Choudhury teaches that breathing “deeply” whilst “sitting still” are the keys to acquiring an all-round, medically acknowledged level of psychological and physical fitness! His endless “criminality” has seen him flee back to the BJP India (in 2016)! Similar to his student Scott Paul Beierle – Bikram Choudhury has been accused of running a cult for purposes of committing sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape whilst perpetuating the ideology of racism (against non-White and non-Indian people – a typical BJP attitude), homophobia, fraud and immigration violations!
