Jnana yogaJnāna yoga or "path of knowledge" is one of the types of yoga mentioned in Hindu philosophies. Jnāna in Sanskrit means "knowledge"As used in the Bhagavad Gita, the monist philosopher Adi Shankara gave primary importance to jnāna yoga as "knowledge of the absolute" (Brahman), while the Vaishnava commentator Ramanuja regarded knowledge only as a condition of devotion. In the Bhagavad Gita (13.3) Krishna says that jnāna consists of properly understanding kshetra (the field of activity--that is, the body) and kshetra-jna (the knower of the body--that is, the soul). Later in the Gita (13.35) Krishna emphasizes that a transcendentalist must understand the difference between these two.
