Karma Yoga
Does not destroy all karma
until it turns to Jnana
Indirectly leads to perception
of the soul (atma)
Jnana
Not easy to execute and given
up after liberation
Gives perception of atma,
and Paramatma, but not
Bhagavan
Astanga yoga
Not easy to execute
Given up after liberation
Gives perception of the
atma, and Paramatma but
not Bhagavan
Bhakti
Destroys all karmas
Gives direct perception of
God, Bhagavan Sri Krishna
Is easy to execute
Continues after liberation
"Raja Vidya Raja Guhya Yoga."
"Raja vidya means
royal knowledge.
"The word 'raja* (King)
indicates supremacy."
'Raja guhya’ means
'royal secret.'
It means supreme knowledge and the supreme secret.
It may be taken to mean also knowledge which Kings
in former ages possessed and practiced.
BG 9.4: mayā tatam idaṁ sarvaṁ jagad avyakta-mūrtinā mat-sthāni
sarva-bhūtāni na chāhaṁ teṣhvavasthitaḥ - This entire cosmic
manifestation is pervaded by Me in My unmanifest form. All living beings
dwell in Me, but I do not dwell in them.
BG 9.10: mayādhyakṣheṇa prakṛitiḥ sūyate sa-charācharam hetunānena
kaunteya jagad viparivartate - Working under My direction, this material
energy brings into being all animate and inanimate forms, O son of Kunti.
For this reason, the material world undergoes the changes (of creation,
maintenance, and dissolution).
BG 9.11: avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣhīṁ tanum āśhritam paraṁ
bhāvam ajānanto mama bhūta-maheśhvaram - When I descend in My
personal form deluded persons are unable to recognize Me. They do not
know the divinity of My personality, as the Supreme Lord of all beings.
