________________ Art & Science of Meditation Yoga and Meditation Jnana yoga, (also called buddhi-yoga centred on the faculty of discernment and 'virtually identical with the spiritual path of Vedanta'. Karma-yoga, in which the world of everyday work becomes the tool by which self is transcended. Bhakti-Yoga the path of devoted service to God. Tantra-yoga focused on the techniques and psychophysical teachings contained within a body of texts called tantras. Mantra-yoga, one of the most ancient forms of yoga in which the psycho-acoustical properties of the spoken word are used to concentrate the mind. Hatha yoga, a system of physical purification designed to reintegrate and re-balance the mind and body in preparation for Raja-yoga (first described by Yogi Swatmarama). 3. NYAYA The Nyaya school is based on the Nyaya Sutras. They were written by Aksapada Gautama, probably in the sixth century BCE. The most important contribution made by this school is its methodology. This methodology is based on a system of logic that has subsequently been adopted by the majority of the Indian schools. This is comparable to the relationship between Western science and philosophy, which was derived largely from Aristotelian logic. 32
