Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 Based on the teachings of Swami Vivekananda Raja Yoga (2) If you go to the fountain head of any religion you will find that it is based on experience. Christ experienced certain truths, saw them, came in contact with them and preached them to the world.Similarly in Buddhism, it is Buddha's experience. So with the Hindus, in their books, the writers who are called 'rishis' ( seers ) - experienced certain truths and these they preach. All religions at their source will have 'experience'. Raja Yoga claims that if one person - one prophet can experience this truth (God) -- then so can all of us. Unless their experience has such a universal basis it is worth very little. It makes a bold statement. - Unless we experience these truths for ourselves - we can only describe ourselves as atheists or agnostics at best. Raja yoga literally means the 'Royal path' It makes this 'Royal' claim. "Turn into prophets! Nothing less will do." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
