Karma Yoga refers to the duty which to done by every man according to the varna and ashrama. The duty differs for every individual according to the station of the life. This duty is to be performed with right wisdom and spirit and later dedicated to God.
Jnana Yoga refers to the devotional practice through which the sadhaka accumulates the distinctive knowledge of God through sermons from Guru.
Bhakthi Yoga refers to the devotional process in which the sadhaka develops deep bond or love or relationship to God and enjoys His incessant companionship.
Japa Yoga refers to the method where the sadhaka chants the Lord’s name incessantly. Since it’s very complicated to perform dhyana in this KaliYuga, scripture prescribes Japa or Chanting. This can be done at any time or all the time even when attending to daily chorus. This effectively removes the mental impressions or vasanas which influence the human mind.
Jnana, Karma, and Bhakthi supplement each other and cannot remain aloof. The preference changes from every sadhaka, because every soul is diverse.
