The Fourfold Yoga

The Fourfold Yoga – Part I – An Introduction


Yoga is derived from the word “Yuj” which means to unite. Union with Cosmic

Creative Intelligence is the aim of Yoga.


The Fourfold Yoga has been prescribed for Cosmic Union in Oriental Philosophies.

They are


1. Union via Action ( Karma Yoga )

2. Union via Psychic Control ( Raja Yoga )

3. Union via Universal Love ( Bhakthi Yoga )

4. Union via Wisdom ( Jnana Yoga )


Union via Action is for the person of active temparament.

Union via Psychic Contro is for the person of adventurous temparament

Union via Universal Love is for the person of emotional temparament.

Union via Wisdom is for the person of intellectual temparament.


These four paths are not different from one another. They are all part of the Fourfold Yoga.


Certain qualities are to be inculcated in the seeker if he is to achieve the Ultimate Goal.


Prajna has been defined as the discriminative intellect. When the intellect discriminates between the Real & the Unreal. The intellect which discriminates between Being and Non-Being. This quality should be incorporated by the Intellectual Man if he is to progress in the path of Jnana Yoga.


Love is defined as the greatest of all the positive qualities of man. This quality is to be incorporated by the Emotional Man if he is to progress in the field of Bhakthi Yoga.


Control of Mind or Psychic Control through Raja Yoga should be incorporated

by the Adventurous Man if he is to progress in the field of Raja Yoga.
