Course Overview

Course Description:

The Yoga Ladder with description of different yoga systems viz. Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Astanga Yoga and Bhakti Yoga, their different shades and destinations etc will be discussed in this course.

Course Contents: 
Yoga is a ladder and is not a single step. It is a ladder starting with the first step of Karma Kanda leading to Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Astanga Yoga and finally the last rung being Bhakti Yoga. While a practitioner can simply move from Karma Kanda to Bhakti Yoga linearly rung by rung first being a Karma Kandi, then a Karma Yogi, Jnana Yogi, Astanga Yogi and then a Bhakti Yogi, there are several other possibilities of a non linear route ending not with the last rung of Bhakti yoga but somewhere on the preceding rungs. One may be known as a Jnana Yogi or an Astanga Yogi and attain different destinations after death. There are different goals and destinations of different practitioners. Also there can be different shades of a Bhakti Yogi and accordingly their destinations will be different. This course discusses different types of Yoga systems, their respective shades and destinations and gives an overview on the entire Yoga ladder.
