Jñâna yoga is the path of self enquiry with such questions as: Who am I? From where have I come? Where will I go? It begins with negating everything else (This is not, This is not) and ends in an intuitive experience of the Âtmic reality.-

There are several paths to salvation such as bhakti yoga, karma yoga, dhana yoga, and jnanayoga. Jnana yoga means path of knowledge. Depending upon your spiritual progress you choose the path that is most suited to you. I think jnana yoga is perhaps the most difficult path but perhaps the most direct way to achieve moksha. I don't know how to explain the jnana yoga in a few words but I can say only that jnana yoga expects you to know your true self as a pure soul and all other beings in the same way. You burn the doer-ship in the fire of your jnana and stop creating any new karma. In that state you are free of all the bondage and you are an emancipated soul. You have broken the chain of rebirth and you are free for eternity. Bhakti yoga ( the path of devotion) is perhaps the more popular approach both in the western as wll as the easten world today. Shankaracharya advocated the jnana yoga over a thousand years back.

Jnana in Sanskrit means Knowledge/Wisdom.
Yoga means to 'yoke or unite'.
Unite with 'Source' through applied knowledge which is Wisdom..
