All religions provide a path to कैवल्य or Kaivalya which is salvation/liberation if followed properly and with a sincere wish to attain divinity, in the Yogic view this is attained by breaking up the संसार or Samsara, which is the cycle of reincarnation, to break free from samsara and obtain Kaivalya a human being needs to purify his body, mind and soul from all karma and material desires, yoga brings a path to do this quickly and effectively.
Let's talk about the Yogic way to God this time.
Yoga's simply beautiful, deep and perfect, one of the most incredible, effective and fastest ways to get to God, because it's so perfect, so full, so divine!
This is the reason of Yoga being called the Holy science.
Yoga's so deep that it'd be hard to give a comprehensive article decidated to it, so I'm gonna resume the most possible and make some interesting comparisons to other religions.
Yoga has several branches, all of them will get you to God if followed properly they are:
भक्ति) योग
Bhakti Yoga:
This is the devotional way to God, based on devotion only one of the most beautiful ways to reach him, Bhakti Yogis usually have a Guru, which is a person who knows God firsthand who will enlighten the path to his devotees, Christianism is a kind of Bhakti Yoga and Jesus is the guru of Christians.
ज्ञान योग
Jhanna Yoga:
Jhanna is the sanskrit word for Wisdom and introspection, this way to God is based on Meditation and Introspection which will harvest wisdom, which will get you to God.
Buddhism is a kind of Jhanna Yoga:
कर्मन् योग
Karma Yoga:
Karma Yoga, is based on the path of unselfish good actions, expecting no retribution, only for the sake of serving God, I tried to find a religion that closely follows the precepts of Karma Yoga but I couldn't think in any except Karma Yoga itself, if any one has an idea please let me know
हठ योग
Hatha Yoga:
The most popular and widely known kind of Yoga, it is a system of excercizes and postures to prepare the body for meditation, most people specially in the west practice it more for healthy goals rather than divine objectives.
राज् योग
Raja Yoga:
The most complete of them all, also known as the Royal path to God, this Yogic path combines all the other paths into one system of beliefs, it is considered the fastest and most effective way to attain divnity.
क्रिया योग
Kriya Yoga:
The most advanced and powerful Yoga, it's a kind of Raja Yoga that includes the sacred Kriya Yoga technique, which is the most powerful Yoga technique, for thousands of Years this technique was kept as a secret and only the holliest of men practiced it, it's rumored that Christ was a Kriyaban or Kriya yogi for Yogis, he is also considered a Christ yogi, which is the highest state a yogi can reach, so was Krishna, this technique combined with the Raja yogic way to God, could help the sincere devotee attain divinity in just one life, compared to the millions of incarnations that are normally needed to break the संसार or Samsara.
Normally it would take one million of incarnations for a human being, provided that he is righteous and receives enough solar energy to obtain kaivalya, and at least the double of that amount for a wicked man, but kriya is a technique that accelerates spiritual evolution by generating tremendous amounts of cosmic energy which go through the कुण्डलिनी : Kundalini or Backbone arousing the 7 chakras and waking up the spiritual warriors of light inside men to help him attain the Christ consciousness state.
The spiritual warrior - unkown author
Oh my spiritual warrior!
You are being trained on the ancestral art of spiritual battle!
Krishna himself and your gurus are your masters, they left the keys to heaven on your hands, on the ancestral art of Yoga and Meditation.
Oh my spiritual warrior, wake up and raise!! use those weapons to tear the veil of ilusion, use your intuition and your spiritual eye to guide yourself in introspection so you can tell apart right from wrong.
You were armed with the weapons of truth, unconditional love, wisdom and inner peace, you can't be defeated by evil or darkness, but against love you can't do anything.
You can resist the strongest evil or the hardest temptation, but against love you aren't anything else but a child without defense, because love is your essence.
With love you were created, and to love and be loved you were created, love is your armor against ilusion, use your heart and pure feelings to guide yourself.
There is no explanation to what comes from the heart, because reason and understandement can't get into this world.
Because what comes from the heart, on the heart stays and is never fogotten, and there is no way to flee from what sprungs from it.
Oh my spiritual warrior fight bravely, and never be afraid, because I'll be always with you and your gurujis too.
If in need, don't hesitate in blowing the divine sound of the cosmic vibration of the conchshell in Meditation, that I will be there! And I will send my warriors, your allies of self control, willpower, lack of passion for mundane things and infinite hapiness to defeat, selfishness and ignorance.
Oh my spiritual warrior I can't stand your loss, because I miss you so much, my heart keeps asking, when will you find me, I want you to know that in my heart you have your home.
Life after life I will love you and take care of you until you decide to dive in my infinite sea.
