New twist to yoga

The hullabaloo around the celebration of International Yoga Day on June 21 has also given rise to some unique dilemmas. For instance, what if you belong to a different religion and elders in the community don't approve of, say, a surya namaskar. Karnataka Health Minister U T Khader says if community leaders have a problem with it, they should simply turn around, and do the exercises with their back to the sun. Khader said: "With yoga there is no downfall or upliftment of any community. Only health will go up and down."
