Forget Equality, Try Yoga

International News, By Christian Taylor, 10th July, 2009

A yoga expert in India has spoken out against the recent landmark ruling which has legalised gay sex, saying that it’s a ‘disease’ can be cured through yoga, breathing techniques and meditation.

News.com.au reports that Swami Baba Ramdev has challenged the Delhi High Court decision because he feels instead of legalising homosexuality, they should be treating it.

“It can be treated like any other congenital defect. Such tendencies can be treated by yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises) and other meditation techniques,” said Ramdev in his Supreme Court challenge.

Last week The New Delhi high court overturned India’s Section 377, which means that gay sex between consenting adults is no longer an illegal act.

The New Delhi High Court ruled that the law which outlawed “carnal intervourse against the order of nature” was discriminatory and therefore a “violation of fundamental rights’’ under India’s constitution.

In an interview with the Times of India Ramdev said that homosexuality caused “mental bankruptcy” and despite the fact that homosexuality occurs throughout nature, it was “against God and creation”.

Ramdev has a TV show in India with millions of viewers, and his influence is far reaching.

There’s been another petition filed from an astrologer,Suresh Kumar Kaushal, who said homosexuality is akin to sex with animals.

I attended an ashram once where i was told that my sexuality was a metaphor for my father's failure to transfer the phallus energy to me. i left thinking but what about all the straight men who didn't get that? does that mean they are all in unresolved oedipal relationships with their mother?

Sexuality is fixed. Expression of sexuality is fluid. Yoga is a discipline. Sexuality is not. I don't get this yoga expert. I have conducted yoga class with early on-set dementia residents in the past & it has nothing to do with *curing* sexuality. Fail.
