PRACTICAL VEDANTA, THE REAL MESSAGE OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
These views are merely an attempt by such groups to use Vivekananda for their own purposes and cannot be taken seriously.

Vivekananda did frequently speak about Yoga but for him the term was not the central focus of his teaching. He talked very little of asana or yogic postures, which is what Yoga means to most Westerners today and what most Western Yoga teachers teach He was not primarily an exponent of this physical Yoga but of all different branches of Yoga.

To Vivekananda the most important teaching for humanity was Vedanta, the summit of Vedic philosophy, which teaches the unity of the Self and the Absolute.  Vivekananda emphasized the great Vedantic realization of "I am Brahman" or "I am God" as the hugest truth for all people.
