Rāja - Royal

“Meditation is the royal road to the attainment of freedom, a mysterious ladder that reaches from earth to heaven, darkness to light, mortality to immortality.” - Swami Sivananda, on Raja Yoga.

This is the yoga method of mind control, which is scientific and step-by-step.

The mind is carefully evaluated and various strategies are utilized to bring it under control in the practice of Rāja Yoga.

Physical and mental energy are transformed into spiritual energy through this procedure.

Raja Yoga incorporates Hatha Yoga (yoga postures, cleansing procedures, and breathing exercises), as well as meditation and other practices that aid in the control of the body, mind, and senses.

Raja Yoga also incorporates Patanjali Maharishi's Ashtanga Yoga (eight limbs), which leads to complete mind mastery.

People practice Hatha Yoga and meditation in numerous ashrams and centers to follow Raja Yoga.
