“Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship or psychic control, or philosophy by one, or more, or all of these and be free.”
Swami Vivekananda
The mission…
The mission…
TrueVeda’s mission is to help you find your way to a better, more peaceful way of life through various ancient Sanatana Dharma processes, namely the four yoga’s, Karma Yoga (service to others), Dhyana Yoga (meditation), Bhakti Yoga (devotion to god) and Jnana Yoga (knowledge of the self). The quote above is by the great Swami Vivekananda, who makes this same 4 yoga process claim, as he refers to dharmic work which is Karma Yoga, worship which is Bhakti Yoga, psychic control which is Dhyana yoga (or Raja yoga) and finally philosophy of the self which is Jnana yoga.
The 4 yoga’s plus 1…
Yoga means union with the supreme and it was shared to us in the Bhagavadgita by Sri Krishna Bhagawan. Yoga can also be meditation and concentration which can lead you to Samadhi or enlightenment, which is union with the divine. Yoga is for god realisation. Click here to read our article on Why do we need the 4 yogas?
To begin with, we can start with Karma yoga which is service to or for others. This is great place to start because by doing Karma Yoga it will purify ones mind by offering help to others in anyway we can whilst not expecting anything in return, not even gratitude. This clarity and peace of mind can help all of us in todays frantic world. However it is important to note you can begin with any of the 4 yogas. At TrueVeda, we would also suggest the healing of the body and mind through Ayurveda, hatha Yoga (asanas), and pranayama at this stage. If the body can feel at ease through Ayurvedic treatment and yoga, then it will be easier for you in the following stages as there will be less distractions and discomfort.

There is a great benefit to ones own life experience, when you have filled the heart with the love of God. There is great peace, bliss and happiness when there is pure love for the lord. The love for Bhagwana is permanent and will never leave you and therefore it is of great importance to feel the spiritual bliss within your own heart at any stage of your journey. This should be done in your own homes, but it is also recommended and important to be in the company of other spiritual seekers at a Mandir during Satsang (a gathering of other spiritual people) as the energy created in worship benefits us all.

We next meditate on the formless (Nirguna) or the form (Sirguna) of Brahman (God). This further settles and purifies the mind along with the other yoga’s. Meditating and stilling the mind can have great health benefits to both the mind and body. In Ayurveda we believe as much as 90% of disease stems from the mind and our thoughts. The world we see is based on the mind we have, if we are depressed we will see a dark and dreary world, whereas when we are happy all is beautiful. Even though a happy mind sounds good, unfortunately more often than not, around the corner could be more difficult times thus leading us to a depressed and sad mind. Therefore it is important to still the mind so that it isn’t affected by happiness or sadness but instead it is always blissful – this is called equanimity of the mind. In meditation we leave behind all the many distractions of the waking world and turn our focus inwards to the light of the bliss and peacefulness. Read more on Dhyana Yoga here
Again, like Dhyana, Karma or Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga can be practiced at any stage of your journey. Jnana means knowledge, and the ultimate goal of humankind is this knowledge of the self. It is truly a wasted life if we do not begin this journey of the self. This knowledge of the self and along with Bhakti (the love of god) will free you from all fears and none more so than the ultimate fear of death. Once you are free from this, then you are truly free from within, free while living, you will become a Jivan Mukta. Learn the true knowledge of the self and set your true-self free!

We have added a fifth yoga named Dharma yoga. This yoga is how to live your life healthy, righteously and ethically. Within this yoga, we look to having a strong body and mind so that we can delve deeper into the other 4 yogas. This is a must for all.
