Maharshi – refers to the hath yoga. There are stubborn people and do variety of postures and pranayama Often times these things are harmful
Raj yoga is different method
Gyana yoga – is inquiry **BUT NOT THE INQUIRY WHICH PEOPLE THINK. IT IS NOT ANALYSIS. IT IS MEDIATION. WHERE ONE SILENTLY CALMLY OBSERVED THE ORIGIN OF THOUGHT **
When one can do it that way then Raj yoga eventually shines
There are many subtle differences
There are other methods the other methods have been totally misunderstood and people foolishly follow misguided information
Karma yoga – not the yoga of action. It is the yoga of kriya yoga where One reverses life flow
Bhakti yoga – not the singing or dancing but the inner joy of mediation which spontaneously arouses love for God
Mantra yoga – not just the recitingof mantra but the aum technique in mediation
Ultimately it is mediation.
