Our vedanta philosophy offers some valauble guidance on how to have a better life.
The four yogas discussed widely can be used to improve our lifes
Gnana yoga:-
it proposes constant self enquiry introspection and musing over your mind to disccriminate between what is unreal (this nature &life) and what is real(God). It offers valuable insights into the nature of mind and the influence of mean insticts on mind.
Raja yoga:-
it contains methods of body control and mind control which are supposed to lift the kundalini energy through the spinal cord to higher levels. It offers good techniques of body and mind fitness
Karma yoga:-
it proclaims that you work for the sake of sheer pleasure of enjoying work not for the fruits. Inculcation of such an attitude helps to avoid unnecessary frustrations in life for not getting the expected fruits.
Bhakti yoga:-
Surrender at the feet of God and you will get empowered. Through the stories of bhaghavatha it proves that God is always there to save you whether you are a born bhakta like prahlada or you approach him in difficulties like Gajendra. Belief in God helps you to never loose hope since he is always there for everybody who pray him.
