Each path of Yoga brings about its own distinct mechanism. The ultimate destination of these discrete mechanisms is same, i.e., spiritual freedom. However, it would not be possible to segregate them into water tight compartments. There would always exist a combination of two or more paths when person is pursuing ''Sādhanā''. One path of Yoga may be the principle one, but other paths of Yoga would also accompany it. It depends on the psyche and inclination of the aspirant. In Hindu society and culture, there is the distinct institutional category of the “''sampradāyas''”, which involve lineages of spiritual teachers and disciples. There are numerous ''sampradāyas'' with a large following and with histories that extend across centuries. Some of them, such as the Nātha ''Sampradāya'', are specialized in Pataṃjali’s ''Dhyāna yoga''. Others, like the Vārkarī ''Sampradāya,'' primarily involve the practice of ''Bhakti yoga''.
