Karma Yoga; Bhakti Yoga

This book is a collection of works composed from the lectures of the famous Indian philosopher Swami Vivekananda (1863–1902), a disciple of Guru Ramakrishna. In a series of talks, the author explores in detail the paths of spiritual enlightenment offered by the two leading schools of yoga in Hinduism. In the section dedicated to karma yoga, Vivekananda reveals the concept of action without attachment to results and explains how, through selfless service, one can achieve the purification of consciousness. Bhakti yoga, in turn, instructs on the matter of love and devotion to the Divine, which allows one to approach inner harmony and tranquility. Grounding his judgments in centuries-old tradition, Vivekananda creates not just a philosophical treatise but an effective practical guide: the theory in his lectures is accompanied by numerous examples that help apply ancient spiritual teachings in everyday life.
