Science of Identity Foundation

Anxiety is a growing problem in society. Each of us has to discover on our own that even when we have all the food, toys, and material comfort in the world, we still are not happy.

We are so accustomed to trying to find satisfaction outside that we do not know that real satisfaction is within ourselves.

Lord Caitanya taught that the holy name of the Lord is the sound incarnation of the Lord and that since the Lord is the absolute whole, there is no difference between His holy name and His transcendental form. Thus, by chanting the holy name of the Lord one can directly associate with the Supreme Lord by sound vibration.

In this age, life is very short, and a yoga process that takes a long time will not help the general populace. In Kali-yuga, people are all so unfortunate, and association is very bad. Therefore, this process of directly contacting the Supreme is recommended—Hari-nāma.

Kṛṣṇa is present in the form of His transcendental name, and we can contact Him immediately by hearing His name. Simply by hearing the name Kṛṣṇa we immediately become freed from material contamination.

In the bhakti-yoga system there are nine different processes: hearing, chanting, remembering, serving, worshiping the Deity, praying, serving Kṛṣṇa as friend and sacrificing for Him.

Out of these, śravaṇaṁ kīrtanam, hearing and chanting, are considered the most important. At a public kīrtana one person can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare, while a group listens, and at the end of the mantra, the group can respond, and in this way there is a reciprocation of hearing and chanting.

“And of all yogis, he who always abides in Me with great faith, worshiping Me in transcendental loving service, is most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all.” (Bg. 6.47)

It therefore follows that the culmination of all yogas lies in bhakti-yoga, the rendering of devotional service unto Kṛṣṇa. Actually, all of the yogas delineated in Bhagavad-gītā end on this note, for Kṛṣṇa is the ultimate destination of all the yoga systems. From the beginning of karma-yoga to the end of bhakti-yoga is a long way to self-realization.

The goal of yoga is transcendental, beyond both body and mind. Self-realization is sought by three methods:
(1) the path of knowledge (jñāna);
(2) the path of the eightfold system; or
(3) the path of bhakti-yoga.

In each of these processes, one has to realize the constitutional position of the living entity, his relationship with God, and the activities whereby he can reestablish the lost link and achieve the highest perfectional stage of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

The real purpose for practicing yoga is to realize that I am not this body. I want eternal happiness, complete knowledge, and eternal life – that is the ultimate end of the true yoga system.

When you are united with God in a bond of love, you will have achieved the goal of the human form of life. This state of being is called “yoga.” Yoga means union. Yoga also refers to the different processes, practices, and techniques that help us achieve that union with God.
