Is this Rabbi not contradicting Torah?

Well, the idea that there are other facets of wisdom in other cultures is fine with me (though I know some who would reject it). But sometimes, learning or moderately practicing other practices can begin a slippery slope into accepting their beliefs as proper. Some say that being a yogi would indicate more than just a study of other religions. Also, the notion that one can "be a kabbalist" has never made sense to me. Kabbalah as a course of study goes hand in hand with advanced intellectual techniques -- it isn't about a practice of anything.
