Abstract: According to the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga is a spiritual discipline that leads to the union of the individual soul (Atman) with the Supreme Reality (Brahman). It is not merely physical exercise but a way of life that promotes self-control, balance, and inner peace. Krishna explains Yoga to Arjuna as the practice of performing one’s duty without attachment to the results, which is known as Karma Yoga. The Gita describes different paths of Yoga, such as Karma Yoga (selfless action), Jnana Yoga (knowledge), Bhakti Yoga (devotion), and Dhyana Yoga (meditation). Each path helps individuals according to their nature and leads them toward self-realization. A key teaching of the Gita is equanimity (samatva)—remaining calm in success and failure, pleasure and pain. Yoga also emphasizes control of the mind and senses, as an uncontrolled mind leads to suffering. The ultimate goal of Yoga is liberation (moksha), where one realizes the unity of Atman and Brahman and attains eternal peace and bliss.
