J.J. Thanks for writing!

I am not here to tell people that their paths are ‘wrong’ – Bhakti is my own chosen path, and was the path of all Prophets and Avatar’s in history. Therefore, I speak from that platform. If Hatha Yoga is your path, then indeed, it is great that you are following a path of realization. Here is my answer – All yoga’s have the goal of finding union with our source (the Divine). Each path holds for us varied results. Bhakti Yoga (the path of love and devotion) to God, in all paths, reaps ultimate happiness and freedom for the soul, for it is out of love that the Divine is conquered. By this love, we find our source, we reach the Kingdom, and we attain eternal happiness, beyond the confines of the flesh and fleshly reincarnation. In Bhagavad-Gita (the song of God), the Lord clearly outlines for us the various paths of yoga, culminating in Bhakti as being the ultimate path for all true and sincere seekers who are searching for eternal happiness and freedom. Hatha yoga, karma yoga/kriya yoga … are considered to be incomplete forms of yoga, though they do ultimately bring the soul to the path of Devotion… whether in this life or the next.

Best of luck to you J.J.
