Bhagavad-Gita
The Upanishads, which are interpreted as the highest purpose of
the Veda, depict in detail the thoughtful and insightful practices of

2. 2
meditation for discovering the ultimate meaning of life. An
important part of the Upanishadic contribution, the Bhagavad
Gita, or Song of God, reveals the secret of the mind, setting an
arrangement serving as a guiding star for the existence of a
conscious state of mind and action.
Though the Bhagavad Gita is a product of ancient literature, it is
significant for attaining spiritual liberation. We are occupied with
the thoughts of various desires and ego that deviate our path

3. 3
from enlightenment and self- realization. The practices suggested
in the Bhagavad Gita offer a pathway to “inner peace" through
association with the heavenly. Inner peace dwells inside us,
however, the steady drifting clamor of the mind—the "I"— keeps
us from this awareness. By practicing, you will be equipped to
master your mind and have control on it by practicing various
types of yoga.

The story happens amidst the epic Mahabharata as a discussion
between the warrior-prince Arjuna and his charioteer, Krishna.
Gazing over the front line, Arjuna sees those he knows and
adores. They have tried to wreck him and have made his life a
living hell, yet he feels wrong to battle and slaughter them to win
back the kingdom. He swings to Krishna for advice. Krishna
explains the concept of dharma or destined duty. By coming to
relate to the everlasting self, with Brahman, the one, the ultimate

divine consciousness, we can rise above our mortality, our
entanglement to the material world, and live in the adoration for
the supreme. With Arjuna needing to avoid his duties as a warrior,
Krishna reminds that it is through action that one has destined
duty and divine nature manifests. To clear up his point, Krishna
clarifies the three yogic ways comparing to the Dharmas related
with the fluctuated natures of individuals.

1. Karma yoga—the yoga of service. Truly deciphered as the way
of "union through activity," karma yoga includes acting without
thought of craving or egotistical need. This, says Krishna, sanitizes
the brain and makes clearer the celestial way of one's presence:
"Flexibility from movement is never accomplished by avoiding
activity. No one can be impeccable by simply stopping to act. The
world is detained from its own action, aside from when activities

7. 7
are executed as a love of God. The reward of all activity is to be
found in edification."
2. Jnana yoga—the yoga of learning. Practicing the resources of
segregation and separation, it is conceivable to rise above the
transient impediments that involve the "I" mind. Krishna clarifies
that Jnana yoga realizes an acumen that has freed itself of dreams
and made a familiarity with the contrast between the body and
soul. In this mindfulness, one gets to be distinctly apathetic

8. 8
regarding the consequences of all activity from the information of
the outright.
3. Bhakti yoga—the yoga of dedication. Staying continually in
contact with God, the bhakti yogi, in Krishna's words, is guided by
affection and unadulterated blamelessness in otherworldly life:
"Draw in your psyche in continually considering Me, turn into my
lover, offer obeisance to Me and love Me. Being totally caught up
in Me, definitely, you will come to be Me." The essential exercises

of this practice are droning God's names and stories from sacred
writing, mulling over God, giving the sacrificial administration,
offering petition and a different method for continually being in a
condition of simply dedicated, adoring being.
To the advanced yoga instructor, relating these three ways of
yoga to teaching classes at a center can appear like a significant
extent. However, we can make some significant associations

10. 10
between these ways and how we live, which has a quick and
indispensable relationship to the qualities we convey to our
instructing. The demonstration of submitting yourself totally to
teaching yoga can be a type of karma yoga, making the
requirements and goals of your students the aim of your
endeavors as you extend and refine your aptitudes and wisdom.
Jnana yoga is a more tedious path: captivating yourself in a
profound, rigorous, yet caring procedure of self-examination

11. 11
loans clearness to your brain and heart, which thus lends more
noteworthy lucidity in offering direction to your students.
If your way is one of Bhakti yoga, staying submerged, it might be
said of association with the sounds and sensations of your
spiritual guide will show in the voice and love you partake in your
classes. Taking these ways considerably further, recollect that
yoga is much more than the practice done in class, which the life
of yoga amplifies well off the tangle and into the world every day.
