Islam and Yoga 13

Before proceeding with next chapter let us have a quick recap of what we saw in the preceding 12 chapters:

Islam, Yoga misconceptions, clarifications,

 8 major and 10 (5+5) subdivisions  of yoga

5 pillars of Islam, monotheism. Definition of Allah the Almighty

Now let us go with comparison of the major divisions and sub divisions with Islam.

Here I am making one point very clear

By comparison I mean I am trying to list out the similarities between Islam and Yoga

I have no intention of tilting the balance towards Islam or Yoga by comparison

I am a Muslim by birth and brought up.

I think I am following and practicing Islam to the best of my knowledge.

After retirement from Bank service, I studied M.Sc., Yoga in Annamalai,

Islam and Yoga was the topic for my M.Sc., thesis

For this I had to go through a lot of materials- books and net.

Whatever I have learnt I have submitted as a thesis.

What I present here is a very short and simplified form of my thesis 

We have seen that the first branch of Yama ( social discipline ) has got 5 sub divisions  namely

Ahimsa          Sathya           Attaaya         Brahmachariya      Abarikraha 

Comparison of these with Islam
