Jnana Yoga
Jnana yoga is one of the four main paths of yoga (jnana, bhakti, raja and karma), according to the philosophy of yoga and Vedanta. From Sanskrit jnana means "knowledge" and is usually interpreted as "true knowledge of ourselves." In vedantiyskoy school of Hinduism, to know himself as Brahman (supreme transcendental) this is Jnana. Recognize that man is Brahman, pure consciousness, non-involved, non-active and contemplative calm - this is Jnana.
In the Bhagavad-Gita Sri Krishna says that jnana is from a reliable understanding kshetra (field of activity relates to the body) and kshetradzhny (an expert body, ie the soul). Next on the text of Krishna emphasizes on the fact that anyone who aspires to a transcendental consciousness, must understand the difference between these two concepts.
Jnana Yoga says that there are four basic ways to achieve liberation. This:
- Viveka (discrimination): the ability to find the difference between the real and eternal (Brahman) and the unreal and temporary (the rest of the universe);
-Vairagya (dispassion): after the practice of discrimination a person must be able to separate himself from all time;
Shad-Sampath (six benefactors): calm (control of mind), dama (control of senses), uparati (denial of social activity, which is not the duty), titiksha (resistance), Sraddha (faith) and samadhana (perfect concentration).
Yogic knowledge differs from knowledge entsiklopelicheskogo, so to achieve it must also be some way to go. Jnana Yoga is the way to achieve awareness of the laws of the universe. In the practice of jnana yoga is the main tool for meditation and reading of the Holy Scriptures (not only characteristic of Hinduism, as belonging to any religion).
Jnana yoga practitioners there is little in the western world, what is most interesting in the East, they too are not so much. The fact that this is the path that has the least external manifestations, because of what he often preferred to hatha yoga, bhakti yoga, or Sahaja yoga.
