RajaYoga is the umbrella for all the systems of Yoga. It is a path which
incorporates the various streams together - the physical, spiritual, moral,
educational, system of disciplines, system of energies, and the texts of yoga.
Raja
Yoga is based upon raja-vidya, the knowledge of running a kingdom. Raja means
royal or regal and in previous times the royalty of India practiced yoga
meditation under the guidance of a kula-guru, the teacher of the family and
clan.
Raja
Yoga is called the royal path because the kingdom is actually oneself and one
becomes a ruler of their mind and emotions. It is an organized method of yoga
wherein the variety of techniques and methods are placed within a broad
framework. Within its scope is ashtanga-yoga, the yoga of eight limbs,
consisting of yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and
samadhi.
Raja
Yoga is a science of self-training which provides a refined way to develop the
skills which are exactly the abilities required to live life-focusing your
attention, lessening distraction, increasing energy, vibrant health,
inspiration that induces creativity, and importantly unfolding your intuition
which allows you to understand people and situations.
In essence one will have a calm and clear mind, which
sees with clarity and comprehension.
