Yoga Philosophy: Lectures Delivered in New York, Winter of 1895-6

Yoga is a spiritual and physical discipline that seeks harmony between mind, body, and spirit. Originating in ancient India, it encompasses practices like meditation, physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and ethical principles. The ultimate goal is self-realization and union with the divine (Brahman), leading to liberation (moksha) from samsara, the cycle of birth and death. Various paths of Yoga, including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga, offer different approaches to achieving this spiritual fulfillment
