Raja Yoga

Raja Yoga, or Conquering the Internal Nature

Swami Vivekananda en Chicago, septiembre de 1893 (con dedicatoria autógrafa)
bySwami Vivekananda

The exposition of meditative yoga that most influenced the West for half a century. It presents raja yoga as an experimental science of the mind—posture, control of prana, withdrawal of the senses, concentration, meditation and samadhi—without prior faith. The second part translates and comments on Patañjali's aphorisms. Its language of energy, psychology and method, and its syncretism with notions of the time, were decisive in making yoga understood in the West as a universal technique; Elizabeth De Michelis regards it as the founding text of modern yoga.
