Previous: Yogarudha-the highest stage of yoga. Next: Yoga-a spiritual discipline meant for linking one's consciousness with the Supreme Lord, Krsna; Literally, connection; the discipline of self-realization. One of the six systems of Vedic philosophy, taught by Patanjali. According to Bhagavad-gita, the most sublime form of yoga is bhakti-yoga (the yoga of pure devotion). Through the process of bhakti-yoga, the consciousness of the individual soul connects with its source, Krsna. This is called Krsna consciousness. By Krsna consciousness, the soul rids itself of the bondage of the three modes of material nature and returns back home, Back to Godhead. See Bhakti-yoga, Six systems.
