REAL MEANING OF YOGA 1
Real meaning of yoga is linking of the self with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. According to Gita, yoga is any spiritual activity that establishes the lost contact with God. There are different types of Yoga. Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga, Japa Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Bhakthi Yoga. Yoga for this kali yuga is the Bhakthi yoga. This can be practiced by one and all. Devotional activity directed towards God at all times. Lord Krsna says in Gita that perform all the activities according to varna and ashrama and dedicate all of them to Krsna. Exact meaning for Yoga is upaya. This means a way or margha to divine bliss. We perform asanas 1, the body houses Paramatma and Jivatma. It makes them both happy and makes the body fit to perform sadhana. Only if one realises the real meaning of yoga, practice or sadhana takes place correctly, otherwise one is bound to lose track and waste this life.

Karma Yoga
Work is Worship
Lord Krsna says in Gita that the jiva is endowed with karma according to intrinsic nature and ability to perform the particular work. We have to choose the work accordingly and dedicate that action to God. The activity should be conducive to the self and the society on the whole. This is called as satkarma or righteous action. While performing one should not be worried about the outcome of the karma. The Lord says that self has right to do the karma and the fruits of action is governed by the Lord. It is wrong to expect the fruits immediately because, the fruits may arrive at any time. The Lord dispenses the fruits at the right time. Accepting this doctrine denotes the Total Surrender to the Lord. If the people of the world perform their day to day karma as a duty (like a mother feeds the child with no expectation), then the earth would be a heaven to live in. Am I right?
