Core Teaching of Jesus

The Hindu Religion hold the belief that through yoga, forms of meditation people can live spiritually enlightened. Yoga is thought to help people build a bond with the Divine. The Hindu people believe that meditating through yoga, the union between the person and the Divine can actually be perfected! There are several different types of yoga, each type having their own specialties. Those specialties may consist of; healing, balance, breathing, strength, endurance, and mental and physical enlightment. Some of the Hindu yoga’s have the same benefit while others concentrate on a specific area. There are four divisions of yoga, that form the cornerstones of Hinduism. They are; Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga and Jnana Yoga. Karma yoga proposes that all useful work, if done unselfishly, can be a way to perfection. Karma yoga means “discipline of action” and it is based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. The Hindu people use Karma yoga as a process to achieve perfection in action. They would use Karma yoga to achieve a balance with zero karma. Raja Yoga is used to promote meditation. The Hindu people use Raja yoga to assist with self control, and to “steady the mind”. They believe that to achieve complete meditation, where you can distance yourself with the troubles of society or from ones problems, you should have these factors in place- posture, legs crossed and each foot touching the opposite leg. They believed that one’s breathing should be controlled, taking deep regular breathes. Hindu people use self restraint to tune out distractions while they are meditating. The highest point of meditation that can be attained through Raja yoga is when one reaches Samadhi, a mental state of deep meditation where one looses the sense of “being” and they achieve the separation from the universe. A mental state of separation. Bhakti yoga is the spiritual path. This Hindu yoga is thought to form the path to the divine. This particular yoga fosters love.
