Among them are Jnana yoga(yoga of knowledge; using will and discrimination to disidentify from body ,mind and senses.), Bhakti yoga (yoga of devotion; identifying oneself with the Lord/ Godhead in love.), Karma yoga (yoga of selfless actions; for the service of others) and Raja yoga (yoga of meditation; to achieve stillness of mind and senses in order to merge with the Self). .
The Gita is a classic summary of the core beliefs of Hinduism. It is a brilliant piece of literature, its seven hundred concise verses provide a definite guide to the science of Self-realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals in such a profound and lucid way the nature of consciousness, the Self and life's ultimate goal. The Gita has a significant influence far beyond Hinduism, it reaches out to all, even to other religions including Christianity, Islam, Judaism and many others. The Gita explains the ways of selfless action, passes into the way of self knowledge, and ends with the way of love; thereby focusing on all aspects of life. As stated by Mahatma Gandhi, "Any person who lives by the principles of the Gita will lead a happier and peaceful life." This is true because just by taking Gandhi's life as an example we see the evidence of inspiration that the Gita contains. The Gita's message to all is to see the Lord in every creature and act accordingly.
Others might question whether the Gita justifies war, but in my opinion the dramatic setting of the great battlefield in the Gita is in every individual. That is the battle between the ego and the Self . When one becomes free from ego (selfish) attachments/desires they become one with the Self and are enlightened. This is the greatest goal of life, as Krishna mentions "But they for whom I am the supreme goal, who do all work renouncing self for me and meditate on me with single-hearted devotion, these I will swiftly rescue from the fragment's cycle of birth and death, for their consciousness has entered me.
