But it must be admitted, that Yoga is known today is the legacy of the cultural heritage of India. Then the terms in Yoga has many similarities with the terms in the Hindu religion, because both were born in the tradition of Indian culture. Therefore, if you want to explore yoga, have no objection to accept the terms of India. As we have never objected to use Latin terms, when studying medicine. Using these terms in learning Japanese Karate and Chinese terms in learning Kung Fu. Or, learn the English language books to explore the science of Economics.
