No
wonder the oriental medicine is slowly but gradually gaining
its ground even in the western countries where it had once
been considered as, to some extent, superstitious or primative.
More than that, it is also paving the way for the healthy

spirits and objectives.

There
are various types of yoga. Before we examine the differences,
we should remember that all of them lead to the same goal,
unification with the Divine. The yoga paths can be broadly
classified into
-
Bhakti yoga : Path of Devotion
- Karma yoga : Path of Selfless Action
- Jnana yoga : Path of Transcendental Knowledge
- Asthanga yoga : Path of Patanjali (eight-step path)
Unfortunately,
yoga in the west has come to mean "hatha" yoga which
is mainly physical exercise and postures(asanas). In fact,
asanas is only a single step in the eight-step path (Asthanga
yoga of patanjali). Patanjali is quick to point out that asanas
are to be used as a stepping stone for the higher paths, since
just working on the beauty and welfare of an impermanent object
(the body) is a waste of time and effort. Asthanga yoga is
sometimes referred to as Raja yoga. However, Asthanga yoga
is more of a philosophy like basic research while raja yoga
usually refers to specific techniques which are based on not
only Asthanga yoga but also on various [minor] upanishhads.
