The Devayana path also called as Northern path or the path of light is the path by which the student or sadhaka of Brahmavidya goes to Brahman. This path leads to salvation and takes the devotee to Brahmaloka. These sadhakas consider the worship of Brahman above the religious rites and are called Aparavidya upasakas. The student who receives [[Brahmavidya (ब्रह्मविद्या)|ब्रह्मविद्या || Brahmavidya]] with श्रद्धा || shraddha (devotion) while doing तपस् || tapas in the forest follows the following path.

The student who receives [[Brahmavidya (ब्रह्मविद्या)|ब्रह्मविद्या || Brahmavidya]] with श्रद्धा || shraddha (devotion) while doing तपस् || tapas in the forest follows the following path.
* He reaches the अर्चिर्देवाः || archirdeva (the Adityas) during उत्क्रमन || Utkramana time or during departing time.
* The ब्रह्मज्ञानी || Brahmajnani continues on his journey through the daytime (God of Day) through the शुक्लपक्ष || shukla paksha (bright half of the lunar month).
तद्य इत्थं विदुः । ये चेमेऽरण्ये श्रद्धा तप इत्युपासते तेऽर्चिषमभिसम्भवन्त्यर्चिषोऽहरह्न आपूर्यमाणपक्षमापूर्यमाणपक्षाद्यान्षडुदङ्ङेति मासाँस्तान् ॥ १ ॥ (Chan. Upan. 5.10.1)
* From there they go higher into the realm when the Sun is in the Uttarayayana or Northern hemisphere. From here they go to the realm of the संवत्सर देवताः || samvatsara devata. This realm is the point of separation of the Devayana and Pitrayana paths.
मासेभ्यः संवत्सरँ संवत्सरादादित्यमादित्याच्चन्द्रमसं चन्द्रमसो विद्युतं तत्पुरुषोऽमानवः स एनान्ब्रह्म गमयत्येष देवयानः पन्था इति ॥ २ ॥ (Chan. Upan. 5.10.2)
