Raj Yoga

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

I recently attended a workshop/lecture series on Raj Yoga organised

by one of the branches of a well-known group of sisters, active in

social work as well as spiritual awakening. However I was extremely

disappointed after the first class, since I didnt at all seem to be

convinced what they were teaching about God and realising Him.

 

Is it that I am dogmatic/bigoted? I am a firm 'advaitin' and couldn't

accept stories/theories about the Lord being up-above beyond the

ethereal space etc.......and also theories about devis-devtas and the

end of the world. Theories about there being no 'moksha' whatsoever

for even realised souls.

 

I would be obliged to hear feedback from members and also references

for reading on Raj Yoga.

Dear Gauri

 

The material you find in the book 'Raja Yoga' by Swami

Vivekananda will answer your questions. I have come across many

books on Yoga but it is this book that seems to be perhaps the

most comprehensive on this topic. You should be able to get one

book from one of the local Vedanta Centres. (full list on our home page

http://www.vivekananda.co.uk/home.htm).

 

Happy reading.
