There are three types of margas: Bhakti Marga, Karma Marga, and Jnana Marga. These margas are suited to a different temperament or approach to life but they all lead one the to discover their true nature and reunite with the Divine. Bhakti Marga is the path of devotion. One may be devoted to more than one deity, but it is common to choose one for special devotion. In worship, one abandons ones focus on self and, thus, ones bond to samsara. There are three devotional movements, Vaishnavism, Shaivism, and Shaktism. Bhakti Marga can also be considered as a path to one's heart and a connection to your inner self. In my life, the way I connect with my inner self is by praying. When I pray, I get to reflect on my day or week and focus on being a better person in all that I do. Although I don't believe that following this marga will lead me to divinity, I believe that through prayer I can reach a serene mental and physical state. .
Karma Marga is the path of action. This marga focuses on the release from samsara or rebirth. There are two types of karma, however, there is good karma and bad karma. Good is karma is acting according to your dharma, ethical duty, without desiring a reward and to always be unselfish. Good karma also leads to a better rebirth which brings you closer to the release. Bad karma is acting based on self centered desires. In this case, bad karma leads to a worse rebirth which drags you farther from the release. One of a hindu's main goals are to live according to your dharma and get good karma. This can relate to my religious practice of giving alms and charity to the poor. I do this because one day after I die, I hope to live in heaven with God. This is similar to what people want to achieve in Hinduism because we both want to be in a tranquil place after life. .
The last marga, Jnana Marga, is the path of knowledge and wisdom. This path is to attain the knowledge that you are Brahman.
