4 paths. Karma yoga,Bhakti yoga,Jnana Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga.
Jnana Yoga
The Sanskrit word for knowledge is "ज्ञान" (pronounced as "jnana").
Jnana (Knowledge), Bhakti (Devotion), Karma (Action), and Yoga (Meditation).
Yoga is only one. It is differentiated according to various paths or practices like Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Laya Yoga, Raja Yoga, Sanyasa Yoga, Vihangama Yoga, Pipilika Yoga, Meena Yoga, Samadhi Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Japa Yoga, Mantra Yoga, Dhyana Yoga, Tantra Yoga, Yantra Yoga, Sahaja Yoga, Sankhya Yoga, etc.
According to Hinduism, two of the paths to god are karma-yoga and jnana-yoga. The first is the yoga of selfless action and the second refers to philosophical research and wisdom. The third is Astanga/Raja-yoga which is connected to physical exercise and meditation. The fourth is Bhakti-yoga which is the path of devotional service.
There are many different styles of yoga that one can participate in. However "regular yoga" is performed at home or in a studio, where as bikram yoga is performed in a hot room with temperatures as high as 95 degrees or more.
Jnana Prabodhini was created in 1960.
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.
