Yoga is a family of ancient spiritual practices that originated in India,

where it remains a vibrant living tradition and is seen as a means to

enlightenment.Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Raja Yoga are

considered the four main yogas, but there are many other types.


Yoga as a means to enlightenment is central to Hinduism, Buddhism,

Sikhism,Jainism and has influenced other religious and spiritual practices

throughout the world. Important Hindu texts establishing the basis for

yoga include the Upanishads, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita,

and the Hatha Yoga


The easiest path to reach the state of dispassion and undisturbed

tranquillity is the path of Bhakti or love.Here, man surrenders his

all-mind, soul, ego-to the Divine Being and is only led on by the Divine

will.Self-surrender the Diving Name.Such repetition must not be

mechanical but one-pointed and full of favor.For this, concentration is

necessary.concentration can be there only if man has practiced to fix

his attention on a particular object without letting it dwell on anything

else.


Meditation is the practice of focusing the mind, often formalized into

a specific routine.Meditation is usually recognized as a component of

Eastern religions, originating in Vedic Hinduism. It encompasses any

of a wide variety of spiritual practices which emphasize mental activity

or quiescence. Meditation can also be used for personal development in a

non-religious context, such as the exercises of Hatha yoga. Meditation is

an exercise, aiming to prevent thoughts in a natural way, by deeply

relaxing the physical body and then trying to keep themind completely

"blank" with no thoughts whatsoever. This state may be maintained for

a few seconds or a few hours, depending on your skill.Purity of the mind

achieved during meditation is essential to gain access to Higher Self.

It seems that our Higher Self does not admit any impurities.
