The aim of Yoga is total self-realization. To achieve this, many forms of Yoga prescribe differing paths. Jnana Yoga or the yoga of knowledge says one can attain the goal by pursuit of knowledge. Bhakthi Yoga or the yoga of devotion says devotion to God is such a way. Karma yoga or the yoga of work says, through selfless work one can attain the goal. Raja Yoga prescribes 8 steps to this goal.
