Raja Yoga

Royal yoga of meditation,detachment, and desirelessness. Eight-fold path of yoga developed by Patanjali, which includes control of the mind and withdrawal of the senses from the external world. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

 

One who lives in this world should in the first instance become human. To learn the Atmavidya is tantamount to knowing Brahman. For attaining Raja Yoga, this is the path. The One who demonstrated Raja Yoga in a very remarkable manner is King Janaka. If one has to give a simple meaning for Raja Yoga, one can say that when both Bhakti and Karma come together, that constitutes Raja Yoga. (SSB 1974, p. 225)

 

He who lives on Earth must become Man at first

Then, he has to learn the way to God

And discover the delight of the Spirit

This is the Raja yoga path that Vedas teach.

(SSS Vol.11, p. 216)
