Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

The whole aim is to purify yourself and go back to Godhead, back to home. That is the whole aim, either you practice this yoga or that yoga. There are jñāna-yoga . . . the Bhagavad-gītā deals in three types of yoga, means karma-yoga, jñāna-yoga, dhyāna-yoga and ultimately bhakti-yoga.

So any transcendental practice is called yoga. So either you do it as karma-yoga . . . yoga means linking yourself with the Supreme by your work, linking yourself by cultivation of knowledge, linking yourself by meditation or linking yourself by engaging yourself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Prabhupāda: The bogus yoga practice going on in your country is simply cheating people. Yoga practice is different. That is very difficult, and not possible in this age. Nobody can follow all the rules and regulation of yoga. That we will find in this Bhagavad-gītā in the Sixth Chapter, we'll come.

So yoga practice means that is another kind of sacrifice. Sacrifice means to stop your unrestricted . . . or why, restricted even, sense gratification. That is yoga practice.

Go on.

Madhudviṣa: "Some of them, curtailing the eating process, offer the outgoing breath into itself, as a sacrifice."

Thirty. "All these performers who know the meaning of sacrifice become cleansed of sinful reaction and, having tasted the nectar of the remnants of such sacrifice, they go to the supreme eternal atmosphere."

Prabhupāda: Yes. The whole aim is to purify yourself and go back to Godhead, back to home. That is the whole aim, either you practice this yoga or that yoga. There are jñāna-yoga . . . the Bhagavad-gītā deals in three types of yoga, means karma-yoga, jñāna-yoga, dhyāna-yoga and ultimately bhakti-yoga.

So any transcendental practice is called yoga. So either you do it as karma-yoga . . . yoga means linking yourself with the Supreme by your work, linking yourself by cultivation of knowledge, linking yourself by meditation or linking yourself by engaging yourself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So any yoga system you take, that will give you perfection. But the thing is, in this age no other yoga practice is possible except this practice, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, or bhakti-yoga practice. Simply you have to chant, and you get all the good results. That is very easy.
