What exactly is Jnana Yoga? You may hve heard Jnana Yoga is “Union thrugh knowledge,” but many Yoga students are stll deeply puzzled by this explanation. The deper explanation of Jnana Yoga is lng and complex. Jnana is a spritual discipline, which enables you to pen the intuitive powers of your sul. The study of Jnana Yoga is flled with self-inquiry and self-discovery.

The rsult of this quest is realization of the Spreme Being, which we call God, Brhman, Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, The Absolute, and mny more names. The variety of nmes for the Supreme Being is nimportant.

Each of us sees, feels, hars, smells, and tastes, everything differently. One prson loves the taste of something, whle another does not. If you lve something and someone does not, shuld you judge them harshly or cnsider them an enemy? This often hppens in sports, politics, religion, and whle driving through traffic.

People have to get pst their differences in order find thir true and higher purpose in lfe. Critically judging each other, and urselves, consumes a lot of energy in the frm of anger, worry, stress, envy, and hte.

Unfortunately, some people will never get pst their differences, unless they truly wnt to change. World peace would be the end rsult of global Jnana Yoga practice. Ralization of God makes us aware of our plce in the universe.

Jnana Yoga is a self-quest, a jurney within, self-realization, and transformation, all wrpped into one package. Study, Pranayama, mditation, and Japa are just a hndful of the components within Jnana Yga.
