Raja Yoga

Description

Raja Yoga The lessons which compose this volume, originally appeared in the shape of monthly lessons, the first of which issued in October 1905, and the twelfth in September, 1906. These lessons met with a hearty and generous response from the public, and the present volumes is issued in response to the demand for the lessons in a permanent and durable form. There have been no changes made in the test.

In India, the Candidates for Initiation into the science of “Raja Yoga,” when they apply to the Yogi Masters for instruction, are given a series of lessons designed to enlighten them regarding the nature of the Real Self, and to instruct them in the secret knowl- edge whereby they may develop, the consciousness and realization of the real “I” within them. They are shown how they may cast aside the erroneous or im- perfect knowledge regarding their real identity.

Until the Candidate masters this instruction, or at least until the truth becomes fixed in his consciousness, further instruction is denied him, for it is held that until he has awakened to a conscious realization of his Actual Identity, he is not able to understand the source of his power, and, moreover, is not able to feel within him the power of the Will, which power underlies the entire teachings of “Raja Yoga.”
