Question: Can you tell me the various paths to the realization of God according to the Hindu yoga philosophy?

Answer: Your question is very vague. However, there are four main paths in Hinduism for the realization of God. They are – 1. Jnana Yoga (the path of reasoning), 2. Karma Yoga (the path of action in the spirit of service to God), 3. Bhakti Yoga (the Path of Love for God), 4. Raja Yoga (the path of Meditation). I don’t know from where exactly you are writing. However, you may ask for a catalogue of books from any of our centre and know more about it.

RESPONSE to the Above REPLY : Thank you for responding. I have been able to get detailed descriptions of each of these Yoga paths that you named. I used the information as part of what I taught to a class of middle school children. I am a Buddhist and my own practice is very close to Raja Yoga. I have traveled in India and have great respect for your religion. My first meditation teacher was a Hindu. I have been reading about Raja Yoga in the works of Swami Vivekananda.
