Not totally sure about all it entails. Trying to learn all this myself; religion class can be rough. I know it is one of the four "paths" to god. The four "paths" is a comparison used when describing the four different types of "yogas," pursued in the Hindu religion, that will attain "liberation." Liberation being the goal of all these different yogas. Jnana is the path of knowledge. So in turn, through knowledge you make your way to liberation/god. Good luck my friend.

Need of research in yoga?

You need Yoga to unite with the Divine. Yoga is not what most people think it is. Yoga is not some physical exercises or asanas. Yoga is not even breathing techniques or some pranayama. The word Yoga comes from the word Yuj which means unification. Just like a SIM card unites with a satellite through a Divine connection, so we need Yoga, the ability to be detached from this material world and attached to the spiritual satellite of the Divine. How do we remain in Yoga? Either through action, devotion, meditation or education, that is: Karma yoga, Bhakti yoga, Jnana yoga or Dhyana yoga. This is the way to Yoga and we need this if we want to be enlightened and liberated with Moksha or Nirvana.
