Question:

A contemporary debate growing among scholars today revolves around the incredible growth of Yoga within the United States. The issue of the debate as defined by the 2011 October/November/December edition of Hinduism Today centers upon the question, “as to whether or not Yoga is intrinsically a Hindu practice or a universal science?” Based upon your studies and research this week, compare and contrast these two positions and then academically defend your position clearly demonstrating why you believe that Yoga is intrinsically a Hindu practice or a universal science. In your discussion, you will want to clearly identify and define what type of Yoga is being referenced and the foundational role that Yoga has in Hinduism.
