“Practical Lessons in Yoga” consists of 12 easy and interesting Lessons.
The First Lesson deals with Yoga and its Objects.
The Second Lesson treats of Yoga Sadhana or the practice of Yoga. It contains a clear and lucid description of the 4 important paths viz., Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga and Jnana Yoga.
One can easily choose a path according to one's particular taste, temperament and capacity by a close study of this Lesson.
I firmly hold that no one wishing to become a perfect Yogi can realise his wish, if he does not begin his Yogic practices with Karma Yoga or doing actions for actions’ sake, without the idea of agency and without expectation of the fruits of his actions.
I have also made passing references to the various other forms of Yoga such as Hatha Yoga, Mantra Yoga and Kundalini Yoga.
