O Ioga e os seus Novos Bens de Salvação: Relaxamento Espiritual e Homeostase Divina.

The modern phase of yoga, therefore, has been built under the influence of a new social- religious context. Currently, a lot more than brahmins and swamis, the yoga searches for legitimacy as a spiritual way by the aegis of scientific rationality and of new religious movements in the occident. In this process, yoga reframes its mystic language that circulated among Indian ashrams and forests in ancient and medieval times, for the public that faces stressful challenges to live in occidental megacities, above everything, a consumer society, secular and privatized religiously. From that conjecture, new beliefs emerged to legitimise the yoga discourse in the social-religious panoram where it currently lives. More than simple symbolic reframes, the modern yogic soteriology is today passing through a process of soteriological reframes. The main transformations that are highlighted, are: 1) an elevation of the conception of stress at the level of the kleśa or spiritual obstacle; 2) relaxation, the inverse of the stress-kleśa, conquests the spiritual nature; and 3) as a consequence, liberation/salvation of the kleśas-stress acquires the "empirical" substance of a mystical state, like a kind of "divine homeostasis".
