MP clerics issue fatwa against Surya Namaskar

"There goes my One day i will become an YOGA GURU Dream"

Surya Namaskar,, on January 12, Muslim leaders have termed bowing before the sun un-Islamic and idolatrous. Top clerics in the state issued a fatwa against Surya Namaskar on Tuesday. But state school education minister Archana Chitins said participation in the mass Surya namaskar was voluntary.

"The sun is neither saffron nor green, It has nothing to with religion or religious ritual or ceremony," she said.

"Surya Namaskar is a healthy yogic exercise. And we are not imposing it. It is not mandatory for all. Those who don't want to participate, are most welcome to drop out. Surya Namaskar is a healthy exercise which has been ratified by scientists and health experts across the world. We want children to adopt a healthy lifestyle. That is our only aim here."
