I agree with you,the way these things are presented by Yogi,s is 'queer' at best and should be rejected....
May be you misunderstood Sipraomer.I believe he would prefer to join ‘even’ jamat e Islami rather than becoming a yogi and start repeating some strange Mantra in search of Nirvana :)
Psychology is not the property of any particular nation,it is a product of some common experiences which happen to all human beings.That 'thoughts' can influence not only those who think it,but also those around them,is a well known fact.If a person with depressed mood enters a perfectly happy atmosphere,he spoils the good mood of others. A man with good spirits raise the morales of those around him.A strong leader with equally strong thoughts influence a whole nation positively or negatively....
It is also well known that positive thoughts attract positive thoughts,and negative thoughts attract negative thoughts.Those who think of success ultimately achieves their goals,while those who think of failure ends up in a cycle of negativity,leading to further failures in life.These are common observations...
It is also common knowledge,that if one keeps repeating negative things or events in mind,the negative 'feelings' become stronger and stronger.For example,someone use abusive language for us,now we can either ignore it and forgive him OR we may keep thinking about it,keep ruminating and repeating it in our mind,which undoubtedly increase our hatred for that person.Again it is not some 'mystic' phenomenon but common knowledge.Repeatition of Kalima or some blessed name of Allah swt fills our heart with peace and tranquility while the opposite of it darkens our thoughts further.
And finally,'intention' is also merely a firm thought,and Hadeeth sharif tells us that the fruits of our actions depends upon the intentions behind it (الاعمال بالنيات)
Our thoughts are the creation of Allah swt the same way our actions are the creation of Allah swt, and we are being given the same degree of limited liberty in thinking like we are given in actions.
I could not understand the 'shirk' component in it ?
