This is one of the craziest things we’ve heard all week. (Sorry, Father.)
“Fr. Jay Bandojo, exorcist of the Archdiocese of Manila, recently said during his talk at the chapel of the Arsobispado de Manila in Intramuros that yoga is actually an invitation for evil spirits to attach to you,” reports Leslie Ann Aquino in Manila Bulletin.
Bandojo was quoted as saying , “In yoga we are asked to ’empty our mind’ so you can be relaxed, while you breathe and sit on the floor. When you empty your mind you have to be careful because when our mind is empty the demons will take advantage to enter your mind.”
Bandojo went on to explain that what yoga teaches “is different from what the Catholic Church teaches about prayer and meditation.”
“When you pray, meditation, contemplation, you center on Christ, on the angels and on saints and on Mama Mary, not empty,” he explained.
The report noted: “Aside from yoga, Bandojo said those fond of horoscopes and or those who engage in occult practices such as playing the spirit of the glass are also opening themselves to demons and evil spirits.”
