India Patents Yoga Poses From Western Thefts
As of now the mission has stretched itself by adding about 600 asanas to 'India's Traditional Knowledge Digital Library' to curb the 'Yoga theft' by the so called gurus in the Europe and the United States patenting the ancient established their own according to 'The Telegraph.'.
Yoga has become a 225 billion dollar industry now since its introduction to the west in the 1960s and 1970s when it was popularised by Beatles Guitarist George Harrison and others.
In India, however, it is still a collective knowledge normally practiced in public parks where Yoga gurus often teach breathing exercises called Pranayama , and the sequence of asanas that form the integral part of Surya Namaskar or Sun salutation, free of cost.
However in Western countries, especially in America, the number of the so called Yoga teachers have grown increasingly with patent application stamping each pose as their own and not a part of the ancient Indian discipline.
United
States
alone
has
130
yoga-related
patents,
150
copyrights
and
2,300
trademarks.
'Traditional
Knowledge
Digital
Library'
of
India
is
now
being
exposed
to
patents
offices
across
the
world
to
check
whether
the
claim
is
a
genuine
innovation
or
belonging
to
the
Indian
traditional
systems
of
medicine.
So
far
a
team
of
learned
Yoga
Gurus
from
nine
acclaimed
schools
have
joined
with
the
government
officials
and
200
scientists
from
the
Council
of
Scientific
and
Industrial
Research
(CSIR)
to
scan
35
ancient
texts
including
the
Hindu
epics,
the
Mahabharata
and
the
Bhagwad
Gita,
and
Patanjali's
Yoga
Sutras
to
register
each
pose
that
rightfully
belonged
to
India.
