Vivekananda's Raja-Yoga

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

 

I'm hoping that one or more of my fellow list members will be able to help

me.

I'm preparing a presentation for a conference which deals with

Vivekananda's Raja Yoga. However, I have been able to find out little about

the circumstances of the composition and publication of this work. I know

that the introductory/explanatory material in the book was first given in

lecture-form in America, and that the book was first published in 1896 in

England. Does anyone have access to some biographical or other sources

which give more specific information about the composition and publication

of the work, the circumstances that prompted it, its editing, Swamiji's own

reflections on the book, or any other related information? Unfortunately, I

don't have immediate access to many relevant books at this time.

This is quite important for my presentation, so I'll be really thankful to

anyone who can provide some information.

Thanks in advance,

Kristen
