Happy birthday to swami vivekananda........... and thanks hardik for sharing this......

Some of the extracts from the above post is : 

In the course of a short life of thirty-nine years (1863-1902), of which only ten were devoted to public activities-and those, too, inthe midst of acute physical suffering-he left for posterity his four classics: Jnana-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Karma-Yoga, and Raja-Yoga, all of which are outstanding treatises on Hindu philosophy.

.

Gyan Yoga : When a person tries to find out the TRUTH by reading, writing and speaking on various aspects of knowledge. 

.

Bhakti Yoga : When a devotee forgets himself and treats himself as a part of God.

.

Karma Yoga : To do what is expected from him according to his skills, culture and religion. 

.

Raj Yoga : When a person is engaged in  TAPASYA to find out real gem in his soul.

.

Unfortunately; very rare discussion is made on all these aspects of Hindu Culture. Every so-called Saint is more interested to establish his own PANTH. 

.

Some yogis who don't have real knowledge of the above; do HATH-YOGA.

.

Some Rishis did TAPASYA without having control on their anger. 

.

All this should be avoided while dealing with SOUL (SELF) and GOD ( nothing should be asked from  God in lieu of his devotion).
