Spiritual confluence: Bhagavad Gita’s tenets in Saul Bellow’s novel Herzog
Authors

Abstract
The three main routes of Jnana yoga (knowledge), Karma yoga (activity),
and Bhakti yoga (devotion) are used to explore the philosophy of the Gita.
Jnana yoga, also known as the yoga of knowledge, refers to the understanding of
Brahman, the one ultimate truth that is unaffected by differences and life’s
intricacies. The purpose of jnana, which is the finding of one’s atman, is consciousness
and self-realization. Karma yoga, also known as the yoga of action, is a method
of achieving spiritual freedom via teaching people to follow their moral
principles without worrying about the results. Bhakti yoga, also known as the
Yoga of Devotion, describes how meditation and sacrificial practice lead to
realization of God. This research paper focuses on understanding Saul Bellow’s
famous work The Herzog textually within the framework of the three yogas—Jnana,
Karma, and Bhakti. This chapter draws comparisons and contrasts between
Herzog’s pursuit of the spiritual journey and the current instability. The
Phenomenology of Spirit by Hegel, The Ethics by Spinoza, and Aurobindo’s
philosophy in regard to the Gita and Herzog are all covered in this paper.
