Hindu Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s ‘Art of Living’ gets ISIS threat letters in Malaysia for holding Yoga Camps.
HENB | Kuala Lumpur | March 28, 2015::
To curb the increasing influence of Indian Yoga and spirituality in
the global sphere including some section of Muslims, the Islamic terror
organisations are giving threats to various organisations attached with
Yoga propagation. In this row, the Malaysian chapter of Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar’s Art of Living has received threatening letters from the
Islamic State (IS) terror group, a close aide of the spiritual leader
claimed on Saturday.
“Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is touring some
countries in the far east and he landed in Malaysia on Friday. A few
days ago while he was in Cambodia, we received threat letters from ISIS.
One was received by the hotel manager, one by the director of Art of
Living and one by senior faculty. The content of the letter is very
threatening saying if you go ahead with the programme there will be
consequences,” said Nakul Dhawan, an aide of Ravi Shankar.
According to reports,
the terror group has in a letter to the manager of Jen Hotel, where the
spiritual guru is staying, warned that the hotel would be destroyed.
“The authorities have immediately
notified the local authorities. We also contacted the Indian Embassy and
we also conducted an investigation to find the source of the letter. We
are going ahead,” he said.
The Art of Living had a yoga programme in
the morning which was attended by 10,000 people and there is a
programme underway in Penang attended by 70,000 people which Sri Sri
will be attending, he added.
Malaysia is also affected radical Islam
and believed to have a base of ISIS in Selangor and it its Muslim
majority areas. As of 2010 Census the population of Malaysian state
Selangor has 57.9% Muslim, 24.4% Buddhist, 11.6% Hindu, 3.8% Christian,
0.5% Taoist or Chinese religion adherent, 1.4% follower of other
religions, and 0.4% non-religious. This state is controlled
by hereditary constitutional monarchy, of which the reigning Sultan
(since 2001) is Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah. Since 23 September 2014,
the Menteri Besar (chief executive of the state government) is YAB
Mohamed Azmin Ali, of the People’s Justice Party (PKR) portion of
Pakatan Rakyat. Muslim fundamentalists get an advantage in the state for
bullying over Hindu, Buddhist and yoga practitioners in these days.
For holding this Yoga camp at Penang in Malaysia, the ISIS sent threat letter to AOL.

ISIS like radical and terror
organizations following Quran are opposing the practice of yoga which
eliminates frustrations and negative elements in human mind
including all excesses and fundamentalism. Recently UN declared June 21 as International Day of Yoga at the behest of Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
