The Bhakti Path

There are four major types of yoga: Jnana Yoga (yoga of knowledge), Karma Yoga (yoga of action or service), Raja Yoga (yoga of meditation, which is where you will find the asana/pranayama practice) and then lastly Bhakti Yoga (yoga of love or devotion). Bhakti is not the lustful or sexual type that we think of when we think of some of the ways that Tantra Yoga has historically gone. The Bhakti path encompasses an honest introspection toward connection to universal spirit that lies within all of us. This path winds spontaneously in the direction of our karma (our easiest flow). It begins with, is propelled by and ends with love. What is love? "To love is to not ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something. This is the only way to freedom" - J. Krishnamurti.”
