They say that whatever answer you hoped to find about the meaning of your life, you are sure to find it in Srimad Bhagavad Gita. This scripture which comes from Hindu philosophy and mythology can provide us with an answer no matter how many times you read it. This is because every time you read it, you are a different person. We are changing every second even if we aren’t always aware of it and every time we read it with a fresh perspective.
Karma Yoga Study
You will further understand the meaning of karma and hence put into action Karma Yoga(Yoga of action). You realize the difference between karma, destiny, and the fruits of our work on this earth.
Bhakti Yoga Study
You will learn that Yoga is Bhakti (Pure Devotion) along with its rules discipline. Even if one doesn’t feel the connection to Bhakti in the beginning, it's best to be aware of the basics of the path.
Dhyana Yoga
Lord Krishna describes Dhyana Yoga (Yoga of Meditation) along with all its hurdles and routes to stay on the path. It’s more than just closing our eyes in a seated position but is a way of life.
Sanyasa Yoga
Sanyas is renunciation and this is usually something we all go through at a significant time in our life. It is usually the last stage and can be considered to be a great sacrifice living a Karma Yogic life.
