message: It is wrong name it is ज्ञान योग therefore it must be tileled as gyaan yoga see hi:ज्ञान योग
:No, it shouldn't. The title used should be the most common representation in English, which is jnana yoga. The article is titled correctly for the English Wikipedia. IPSOS (talk) 13:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  name should be changed 

message: A small group, including myself, have picked this Jnana yoga stub to expand for our Composition class project. None of us have ever edited on Wikipedia before and it may take us a couple of tries to get it right.  Also, as we are a group, we may be adding incomplete information in hopes that another group member will add to it later that day, or will be adding it ourselves at a slightly later time.  Our project will be due Oct. 30, so if until that time you can note that the page is in use.  We would appreciate comments on how to make it better, or any other help you could give us, we just ask that you only make minor changes until after Oct. 30, 2007.  Thank you.
:If you wish to experiment in Wikipedia it might be an idea to log-in and create a WP:Sandbox. The information in it's current state will have to be removed because it reads too much like a personal essay. The article is live, so it's not good practice to experiment on the main page. Please feel free to ask myself or any of the other editors here should you want any help. Best regards, Gouranga(UK) 09:08, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updating the Jnana yoga page 

message: Hello - could someone who is knowledgeable about these four types of classic yoga write on these articles about how each is PRACTICED? I think that the practice of a philosophy is at least as important as the ideas behind it! Thanks!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ellajiya (talk • contribs) 19:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  I would like to know more about its PRACTICE 

message: I would like to suggest that the name and work of Swami Sri Yukteswar be included in the main page, since he is known by many in India as a Jnanavatar, or incarnation of wisdom, and he's considered, along with Ramana Marahrshi, one of the greatest masters of Jnana Yoga. Also, reference to his book entitled Kaivalia Darsanam, or the Holy Science would be of great interest for those reading the main article, since it is one of the finest works on the subject, and it can answer the question of the statment above, concerning the practice of it.
:I doubt that Sri Yukteswar ever was a jnana yogi. He was a master of Kriya Yoga, which is a form of kundalini yoga, not jnana...—Orlando F (talk) 11:42, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Holy Science 

message: Minor edit to the top - both Ramanuja and Shankara were Vaishnavists (i.e. believed in Vishnu as the supreme god). Their difference was in the non-dualism vs. non-dualism with attributes (Advaita and Vishishtadvaita).
The original article said "the Vaishnavist Ramanuja," which makes an erroneous differentiation.

thread_title:  "Vaishnavism" 

message: The lead should not serve to post examples of individual teachers, beyond Shankara or few other classical figures. Please move mention Sri Ganapatrao Maharaj Kannur to an appropriate section and keep this mention in balance with other notable proponents of this yoga. Hoverfish Talk 15:04, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Examples should be in own section 

message: How long has "dhyana" been given as the third step in understanding Brahman, instead of nididhyāsana? Painfull mistake... Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 07:34, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dhyana - Nididhyāsana 

message: How is it pronounced?  I think that it's safe to say that "jnana" or "jñāna" is an unusual spelling in English. 2602:306:CD0E:D410:A508:B67E:6C85:F1FC (talk) 18:30, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Have you looked into Puligandla? His publications are rarely cited, and the few peer reviews of his publication are not very favorable (at least the ones I know of). He is overly pro-Advaita, at times his creative interpretations and writing comes across as trying too hard to make Sunyata/Mahayana a part of Hinduism, and such. Suggest we use his publication(s) with caution, with a second independent source as additional support. If you have studied him and the peer reception of his publications more closely, let me know. I am fine if you decide differently. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 03:03, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I've got a copy of his Fundamentals of Indian Philosophy. I've never delved into his academic credentials; for me, it was a usefull introduction. That one review is critical indeed... Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:10, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Puligandla sources 

message: This section implies that jnana yoga is difficult and slow but my understanding is that it is the most difficult but fastest spiritual path. ThomasMCarter (talk) 13:58, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bhagavad Gita section 

message: I stumbled across this article and was surprised it said there are three classical yogas, rather than four, which is what I've always read about. Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, and Raja Yoga. 
"The most famous is the Bhagavad Gita (dating back to 6th-3rd Century BCE), in which Krishna speaks of four types of yoga – bhakti, or devotion; jnana, or knowledge; karma, or action; and dhyana, or concentration (often referred to as raja yoga, though not all sources agree on the term) – as paths to achieve moksha."
