Abstract: This paper delves into the vibrant interplay between spiritual practice and knowledge within the Tantra, Yoga, and Bhakti traditions of Indian philosophy. While modern scholarship often separates these paths, this study uncovers their shared roots in embodied and lived experience. Through comparative analysis and philosophical reflection, it reveals how ritual (Tantra), disciplined practice (Yoga), and devotion (Bhakti) are not only spiritual journeys but also distinct ways of knowing the world. Here, knowledge emerges from transformative, lived encounters rather than detached reasoning. By spotlighting indigenous epistemologies, the study enriches ongoing debates about how we know, feel, and learn. Ultimately, it argues that Tantra, Yoga, and Bhakti together offer a holistic vision in which theory and practice are inseparable, inviting us to rethink what knowledge truly means.
