Here there is something very very funny.
Sometime we have the evidence right in front our very eyes yet we can not see anything.
Most of Shiva representations are of Shiva in the lotus position.
Lotus position or posture is when you do meditation in most cases.
Now why on earth would Shiva sit in the lotus position if he wouldn't engage in meditation?
And what type of meditation would Shiva do if his followers call it yoga meditation?
From here it is obvious that yoga was practiced by Shiva and if Shiva was there 7000 years ago it is also obvious that yoga is as old as Shiva.
What's the purpose to open our eyes if we don't understand the obvious?
