brahma kumar 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 om shanti, Deepak I will give you a brief introduction of RAJAYOGA. Raja literally means King and Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word 'Yuj meaning yoke. link, communion'. This form of Raja Yoga does not involve Physical postures chanting reciting mantras practising rituals or penance. There is no reliance on a guru/master but a high degree of personal responsibility Its an open-eyed form of meditation when proficient at it you will be able to maintain a meditatve state throughout the day.

brahma kumar 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 There are three meanings to Raja Yoga which will help you understand it better: First RajaYoga is the King of all the yogas. It works directly with the mind. Raja Yoga secondly means that yoga which leads to Mastery (Sovereignty or Kingship) of the self Usually we dont have contol over our mind/ thoughts, or sense organs we are often slaves to our habits and addictions. This yoga enables mastery of the mind and our senses. Raja Yoga thirdly means Link/Connection /Union with the Supreme. This connection is the ultimate relationship. Raja Yoga meditation depends on thoughts. "Thought is the energy of the mind." Every thought is a drop of energy . Think how many thoughs you create in a moment.Thought are very powerful. We experience thought as feeling. In other word feeling follows though. There are three kinds of thoughts positive,negative and mundane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brahma kumar 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 Rajayoga is thaught in any of the brahma kumaris centres worldwide. There is initially a 7 day foundation course which is of course free. Meditation is not taught directly because you need to be aware of the self before you meditate. There are 8500 centres worldwide in over 100 countries.Visit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
