I think they are a bit scared of the growing popularity of meditation in the west  (from various dharmic traditions) and how this affects the psyche of the rigid minded Abrahamic victims, freeing them of a lot of the dogmatic silliness therin. 

Yes, I've noticed that, too. The number of videos on YouTube featuring people who discovered Eastern meditative practices, and then suddenly began to dabble in the occult -- as if that's the natural progression -- seems very suspicious to me. Of course, all they had to do was accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and they were free of the supernatural, lol. I tell you, Christianity is low-key taking the fight to the Eastern faiths through modern means of communication. They aren't messing about with trying to swell their numbers. Coupled with a certain section of society who had succumbed to the post-modern atheism / humanist movement of the last couple of decades (exemplified by celebrity atheists and so-called rationalists) but are now beginning to see the results of a spiritually devoid, rudderless, and empty existence, these people are now returning, quite tentatively, to rediscovering the faith and the traditions of their ancestors, realising that the structure and discipline that a belief in something bigger than ourselves provides, is infinitely more preferable to the nihilism they'd been lead to believe was the default.

Another thing I've noticed in England is a slow but perceptible interest in the previous nature based, pagan forms of worship that the indigenous used to believe in, before a spiritually dead, politically motivated form of protestantism was imposed on them - they've rejected Christianity in droves now (or have been made to like you mention above) and are looking for some spirituality to latch on to. It's not uncommon for them to go for Buddhist or Hindu type stuff as well - I think they are off put by the defensive militancy of Sikhi, which can alarm excessively tender sensibilities - even amongst some of our own more docile people.

These sort of racialised, effete pictorial representations couldn't be further from the truth of Jesus as he was:

Okay, our lot are guilty of this too with some of our pictorial representations - to keep it real. I mean look at this purported contemporary image of Guru Tegh Bahadhur Maharaj compared to the modern image that is impressed on most of our minds:

Funny you mention the above, because I recently met a fascinating guy. He's English but, as you mentioned, a follower of the old pre-Christian belief system minus any of the wiccan / overt feminine undertones to their practice. We got chatting about various things, and he said his "jatha's", for want of a better word, belief system is built on the idea of human incarnations of Odin manifesting on Earth. I was genuinely astounded at the claim, because it's a synthesis of almost two diametrically opposed systems, yet I later wondered whether it only seems a novelty to me due to the way the Semetic religions have completely steam-rolled and monopolised European faith for thousands of years.

One of things what Christians do is they like to take an Eastern concept, digest it as their own and re-package it as Christianity. 

There are some groups of Christians that have banned yoga from their Church halls. 

Then you have other groups that have created "Christian Yoga"

The pagan beliefs have always been there.

Particularly if you go to the west country.

You see this renewed interest in the Solstice especially around Stone Henge.

There is a Buddhist centre not far from me and I have met quite a few White Buddhists. 

Not the bald, robe types but your regular gorah.

The so-called Enlightenment was the beginning and the precursor to today's humanist liberalism, which is the Enlightenment on super steroids, where the individual is "God". 

You're correct in saying there was a mystical and rather Dharmic aspect to much of Christianity before that period, particularly where the great seats of learning were locatec from as far back as the Hellenic non-Christian period. The Church was to all intents and purposes the lingering remnants of the Roman Empire. It downsized and rebranded itself mostly out of necessity and outside pressure. 

The contemporary radical who lives by the doctrine of his learned comrades of previous centuries, lol, delights in the fall of the Church in the West, but what's arisen in its place? A soul-less, deviant, dead-eyed pursuit of materialism and self-gratification where the Self reigns supreme.

Modern Christianity is a mockery of its previous form. 

I think the seperation of church and state makes a big difference. 

Christianity was always used as a method of political control.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
