Abstract
Transpersonal psychology is the study of humanity’s highest potential. It largely focuses upon
the transcendent states of consciousness. As in the mainstream of psychology, spiritual
dimension was missing. Transpersonal psychology helped in bringing spiritual dimension into
the study. Now, it is considered to be the fourth force of psychology. When the experience of
transpersonal experiences is discussed there are various avenues by means of which people can
attain it. Largely, transpersonal experiences are numinous by nature but in the field of
psychology most of the times, it is related to spirituality. An individual can reach to the highest
level of awareness by means of dancing, singing, praying or even by doing drugs. Among all
these paths, yoga is one way of the attainment of highest potential and realization. In this paper,
types of yoga such as raja yoga, jnana yoga, karma yoga and ashtang yoga is discussed with
respect to their relationship with attainment of highest consciousness and hence, spirituality.
