300 Hours Raja Yoga Teacher Training Course
About Raja Yoga
Raja Yoga also classically termed as “Astanga Yoga” is inclusive of all Yogas, and its philosophy goes beyond the frontiers of general human perception.
The Sanskrit word “Raja” means king, hence Raja Yoga is also termed as “Royal Yoga”. This branch of Yoga has been discussed in various Yoga texts such as Hath Yoga Pradipika (4.3 – 4.7) but traditionally the most detailed text on this is Yoga Sutra by Patanjali.
In the modern time, the first expounder of this branch of Yoga is the great Swami Vivekananda. The prominent quote of Swami Vivekananda is clear about the idea of the entire context which is as follows:
“Each Soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity within, by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or by philosophy, by one, or more, or all of these – and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details. The Yogi tries to reach this goal through psychic control”. Swami Vivekananda (Commentary on Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, Chapter 2, Sutra 25)
