Its the colonisation playbook. Fake news misinterpretations power issues. (The misinterpreted algorithm driven thoughts misguiding… … poverty, enslavement shame…. As the final nail to take power away& colonise others…)

People always knew the depth… but it was about making others work for their profit & have less income for resources to grow…

Read the linguists of 15th 16th century,…

Read archives from different regions of the world….

They know….

But power to acknowledge intellectual space … occupied by fake news…?

May be…!…

Fake it till you make it was may be about recolonisation attacking older colonies… who knows…… so many people just work& make efforts..

point… it doesn’t take much effort to say yoga came from the sanaathana traditions…

Why are they unable to say that?

See the 2000 year old religious war…?

You’re right!! it’s “fake it till you make it,” but never with credit. The goal is commodification, so they erase slowly, dismantling from within. Just like Duryodhana, they know it’s adharmic but still do it. In Kaliyuga, the rakshasas come in disguise even as sadhus. The dharma and adharma battle is eternal. We each have to choose our side. Grateful for your support. 🙏🏽

But its not that simple…

Learning not to take others things (wealth, stuff,…)is a practice.

Gratitude is a practice to acknowledge… not just consume… the guru parampara teaches this. Not for control or power but guides.

These come under the yama niyama learnings in yoga.

The practice builds the path… but teaching healthy ways also builds it…

To find strength not to cheat is the real learning…

Universe is mystical, tough place& yet the kindest…

Yes - we need to bring back that spirit.

Yes but now the language is used for decolonization, so people who aren’t aware of depth of civilization and nuances of various texts, languages etc are easy pray for these kind of courses. But as you say- that is re-colonization.
