BhagwadGeeta: A very primitive take on some "Yog" from Geeta

Practical take on a few “Yog” described in Bhagwad-Geeta (a very basic interpretation)

(1) DyaanYog: Knowledge
Always in vogue, your knowledge makes imp people come to you. You hardly to go to them. If too many people with equal Dyaan-Yog then yes you need additional Yog below. Regardless, without Karma-Yog (hard-work) any other yog is useless!) You get in demand by referral that people do to others for your knowledge. A simple act of forwarding a what app post you liked with good information as a receipt given to the writer for his Dyaan-Yog!

(2) RaajYog: Connections / Powerful Positions
Powerful positions and connections to people in powerful positions. Like your elder brother in your college or school or your senior in college is well placed in your organization. Or you establish good connection with powerful people by using your efforts (some events, or some acts in the organization). Or you are born in a big family as per your past birth karma. For example, Rahul Gandhi born in a big family needs to surround himself with people with DyaanYoga while he needs karma-Yoga to go with it always!

(3) Bhakti-Yog: in Short: Role Models
You look at some people, you like them and you try to behave like them. You might never meet or talk to them but you know enough about them so you treat them as role models and imbibe their abilities their traits and in-turn you inherit their ability (Balasaheb, Wajpayee, Bachchan, Sachin, Rafi, and so on) Role Models Yog: Prevails in Subcontinent in India and NaPaak also where folks copy Kapil Dev, Sachin and Imran and Wasim and try to become like them. This works in early stages of life when you are at impressionable age. Without Karma Yoga, Role models are of only decoration on your walls! (posters etc)

(5) LakshmIYog: Money power
Folks like Ambanis who have a lot of money, can buy and should buy time from people with DyaanYog and RaajYog. The money allows them to get these people to complete the picture. This is not an option for most of us. :) but yes, it is applicable to each and every small thing we do, either do it yourself or get experts to get it done.

All the above Yog are of ZERO value without the (4) KarmaYog. Regardless of all the above Yog, you have to go out there and middle the ball every day. :) :) you need to move the stuff every day, achieve, execute every day! All your "talent " (most wrongly overused word) and your skills -- NOT working is not an option. You MUST work hard to achieve more. KarmaYog is an umbrella Yog which is needed with any of the yogas.

BhagwadGeeta talks about many more Yoga but these are predominantly essential for corporate success. Knowing which one to use when is the key.

When mergers and acquisitions happen, many seniors are asked to go -- these are mostly people without he DyaanYog. When seniors leave from an organization, people who leave with them are the ones heavily into RaajYog and less on DyaanYog and karma-Yog. People with RaajYog like say Rahul Gandhi only need to do a better job of getting people with DyaanYog. Karmayogi like Modi who are acquired by RaajYog people like Advani or Mohan Bhagwat (RSS) -- they need people with DyaanYog but also RaajYog (like Jaitely).

A person with all here Yoga becomes Balasaheb Wajpayee Sachin or Rafi and so on. They have years of knowledge observations, connections due to Pranodhankar or RSS or Mumbai Cricket association and they are Karma Yogis who work every day hard!!

The person who relentlessly works on DyaanYoga and RaajYog and KarmaYog becomes the Saaheb. Many people become their Bhakt and walk in their footsteps.

Guru if strong in the chart it shows the person is into DyaanYoga. If Surya and Mangal are well placed it shows the RaajYoga and when Shani is very strong it shows the KarmaYog! A well-placed Chandra and Ketu would lead to success thru BhaktiYog!

The most of the messengers like Buddha, Muhammad, Christ are the epitome of these Yog.

P.S. If something contradicts BhadwadGeeta please ignore it as it is just not the truth!! :) Including eveything that I write! :)


Disclaimer: These are NOT the definition as per BhagwadGeeta. One should read Swami Vivekanand texts and Geeta-As-iS to make sense to themselves. Geeta makes different sense at different stage of life. These are below my interpretations which are highly operational & for daily life use only. I am just 5% into Bhagwad-Geeta so far -- so please take the text below with a BIG grain of salt!!
