Actual goal of Yoga is to become internally conscious (self-situated) i.e., to perceive the spiritual world using spiritual senses. Yoga means actions that embodies the search for the truth. It means self control, to achieve the state of neutrality. Yoga embodies actions pursuing the goal of eternal life. Atman is eternal and thus it has eternal dharma, the pursuance of that eternal dharma is Yoga. There are so many variant meanings of yoga but finally yoga means to become K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a conscious<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Science_behind_Yoga\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Science behind Yoga<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a living entity (Jiva) tries to enjoy independent of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, he\/she is given an opportunity to do so in this material world. But as soon as the jiva comes in contact with matter, he is influenced by the material energy or maya. Etymologically, Maya means that which is not i.e., an illusion.<br><br>Maya is the external energy of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a and K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a Himself being the Supreme Personality of Godhead can never be under this illusion. Maya is His instrument and deludes those who do not want the truth. By practicing yoga system one gets connect to K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. That state is K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness. In this state one is blessed to remain free from the influence of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a\u2019s illusory potency. Thus in yoga, the jiva is bless to see things as they are and always serves K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a who is both the master of illusion and the giver of liberation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any action performed by us culminates in a reaction and it is the reaction of the action that makes our future action degraded. But if we connect ourselves to K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a by performing yoga, our actions will be free from both good and bad reactions. A bonafide yoga system thus makes our action blessed. In turn, we become blessed to achieve the art of perfection in our action<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yoga_systems_as_per_Bhagavad_Gita\"><\/span>Yoga systems as per Bhagavad Gita<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/yoga-the-way-of-life\/\"> Bhagavad Gita<\/a><\/strong>, there are four primary divisions of yoga system:<br><br>1. <strong>Karma yoga<\/strong>&#8211; We offer the results of our prescribed duty to K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a<br><br>2. <strong>J\u00f1\u0101na yoga<\/strong>&#8211; One tries to understand God by means of philosophical speculation<br><br>3. <strong>Dhyana yoga \/ Astanga yoga<\/strong>&#8211; In this yoga, a yogi relieves himself from all engagements by the regulative processes of meditation, concentration, sitting postures, blocking the movements of the internal circulation of air, etc<br><br>4.<strong> Bhakti yoga<\/strong>&#8211; Bhakti means complete surrender to Krishna alone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mog-1.jpg\" alt=\"How is yoga a way of life\" class=\"wp-image-534\" width=\"477\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mog-1.jpg 547w, https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mog-1-230x300.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Among these four divisions Krishna says &#8211; Bhakti-yoga is the best-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">yogin\u0101m api sarve\u1e63\u0101\u1e41<br>mad-gaten\u0101ntar-\u0101tman\u0101<br>\u015braddh\u0101v\u0101n bhajate yo m\u00e4m<br>sa me yukta-tamo mata\u1e25<br>[<strong>Bhagavad Gita 6.47<\/strong>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Translation:  And of all yog\u012bs, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself and renders transcendental loving service to Me \u2013 he is the most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all.
