He only bark but doesn't bite.
The guy doesn't know that religions originate from pure spirituality so it is obvious that Hinduism originate from yoga as it is obvious that Christianity originate from Jesus' spirituality and also Buddhism originate from the same yoga that Shiva and Krishna were teaching.
That Hinduism got its origins from yoga is not 'obvious'. The word 'yoga', as far as I can determine based on an online search, is first mentioned in the Rig Veda. Whether the Vedic religion adopted yoga as practiced by outside groups like the Vratyas, or whether it developed yoga itself prior to the Vedas being written is unclear to me.
As for religions originating from "pure spirituality", something more than a mere claim will be needed. Do you mean to say that it's true of all religions? Put me down as skeptical.
