Yoga are active spiritual paths, a way for people to achieve enlightenment through the Divine Spark within us all. The word yoga literally means “union” and is related to the English words “join” and “yoke”. Through yoga, we “unveil” the Divinity within, thus allowing our true spiritual nature to shine ever brighter. There are numerous types of yoga; here is a brief explanation of some of the main ones: Jnana yoga is the yoga of wisdom and true knowledge. Knowing Brahman as one's individual Self is Jnana. Examine the reality of who we are and what we are experiencing, and complete understanding of this reality brings enlightenment. According to Shankara (c.788-820), everything is fundamentally one divine reality, and although our usual experience leads us to perceive things as separate and different, this perception is imprecise. Divine reality can take many forms, so spiritual liberation has been achieved when the individual has personally come to understand the unity of all things. Karma Yoga is the yoga of work and service, of actions for others performed altruistically. Ultimately, it's about helping all life forms do this within themselves. Actions performed without hope of reward. Bhakti yoga is pure spiritual devotion. The yoga of adoration or love for an aspect of the Divine. It is the most common of the yogas and is considered the most direct approach to uniting with the divine. It can contain numerous ways to show one's devotion, most commonly chants, offerings of food, fire, flowers and incense to images, as well as any hymns, poetry readings, devotionals. Raja yoga, sometimes called "Royal Yoga", is the yoga of meditation, mental and psychic control....... middle of paper ......suffering and pain. It has to do with the idea of ​​self-realization. It is the idea of ​​overcoming all selfish responses, such as resentment and anger, that limit the individual. The freer you become, the more you can look at life from a less selfish and selfish point of view towards a perspective that captures the whole. Another way to free yourself from selfishness is to isolate yourself from pleasure or pain. In the final stage, the individual can move completely from the past of the limited self, to the knowledge of the sacred reality that all shares, when the limitation of being an individual disappears, only Brahman remains. Dharma is social and spiritual duty. It represents the fundamental moral balance of all things. It is practiced in all areas of life: religious, social and family. On a social level, each individual has a particular Dharma depending on his place in life.
