Yes, we have four paths for us. Bhakthi yoga, Karma yoga, Raja yoga and Gnana yoga. First we see Bhakthi yoga.

Here, in Hinduism we have alot of deities, forms, emblems, rituals and the list goes on. But the ultimate truth (Vedas say) is we have only one ulmighty who has no form, no name, no color and its omnipotent & omnipresence.

Even though we have alot of deities we can bring all these deities under six main categories. They are Saiva, Saktha, Vaishnava, Ganapathya, Kaumara and Souram. Saiva has Lord Shiva is its deity and has its own workship path called saiva agama. Saktha is for Sakthi, has Saktha Tantra (Srividya). Vaishanava is for Vishnu Workship with Pancharathra. Ganapathya for ganapathi. Kaumara for Lord Muruga and Souravam for Sun (nature workship).

Each one has its own traditional way of workship and Adi Shankara, who united all these into one and got the title "Shanmatha Sthabaghar".

We have a wonderfull Workship Ways. Many of the foreigners were done alot of researches on these ways of workship and found its all amazing and wonderful.

We see all these ways in detail in the near future.

What is life?

What is the purpose of this life?

what is the reason for my birth ?

Atlast, Who am I ?

These are the questions may arise to one who is living a subtle life here in this world.

"No one knows" is the answer for the above questions. If someone catche the answer they wont reveal us, because the next moment when they got the answer they will be proceeding ahead without turning back.

Answer shld be got by our own.

There are Many ways to obtain the answer.

Each religion has its say for the above questions. Some are convincing and some not.

But Hindu religion has a definite answer to above questions.

"Self Realisation" is the word which gets all the answer for your question. If you reach that state you wont question at all.

In our religion (Hindu) there are four main ways to reach that state.

The State or Goal or God-Realisation or Self-Realisation whatever you name that, all are same.

In our religion we have many ways to reach that state. But we put all in to four main ways.

They are:

Bakthi Yoga

Karma Yoga

Raja Yoga

Gnana Yoga

Its according to one's own wish to choose the path to proceed. But all are equal and has its unique features to lead you to ultimate.

Center of the circle can be reached from all the sides of the circle (360 degrees).

Some rationalist asks you to come out of the circle but here you shld ready to travle into the circle towards the center of your life's biggest question. "who am I? "

We will see all the four topics in detail in the near future...

Insist on yourself, Never Imitate!

Wordings and thoughts for the day and all just limited to certain time, certain culture, certain mindsets, certain situations.

This life is ours, we shld explore it with analysing, introspecting and thru experience. No one's thought will help us in the real situation of ours. We can read alot but nothing will guide or workout as our own experience.

All things are just situational. So be practical.

Insist on yourself, Never imitate.
