Healing At The Edge with RamDev Dale Borglum Ep. 131 - The Four Paths of Yoga
Exploring embodiment and self-realization, RamDev takes listeners on a journey through the four paths of yoga: Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jñāna Yoga, and Raja Yoga.
This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses:
- Karma Yoga, holding both success and failure equally—offering everything to God
- Bhakti Yoga and dissolving the ego through devotion
- The obstacles of Bhakti: getting lost in emotions and secularism
- Jñāna Yoga, the path of philosophical and contemplative minds
- The importance of allowing clarity and knowledge to serve compassion
- Raja Yoga, the path of meditation and discipline
- Looking at crises as motivation for doing more practice
- Blending yogic paths for the synthesis of head, heart, and mind
- The benefit of sticking to one path for a deeper experience
- Becoming embodied in order to heal addiction and trauma
- How crucial it is to go beyond conceptual reality
“Modern practitioners often blend these paths. Bhakti softens Jñāna’s austerity, Karma Yoga grounds devotion and service, Raja Yoga provides stability and focus. The synthesis of head, heart, and mind is the integral yoga of our age.” –RamDev
