  • Mandala Brahmana Upanishad OM. the Great Muni Yajnavalkya Went To
    Mandala Brahmana upanishad OM. The great Muni Yajnavalkya went to Aditya-Loka (the sun’s world) and saluting him (the Purusha of the Sun) said: “O Revered Sir, describe to me the Atman-Tattva (the Tattva or Truth of Atman).” (To which) Narayana (viz., the Purusha of the sun) replied: “I shall describe the eight- fold Yoga together with Jnana. The conquering of cold and heat as well as hunger and sleep, the preserving of (sweet) patience and unruffledness ever and the restraining of the organs (from sensual objects) - all these come under (or are) Yama. Devotion to one’s Guru, love of the true path, enjoyment of objects producing happiness, internal satisfaction, freedom from association, living in a retired place, the controlling of the Manas and the not longing after the fruits of actions and a state of Vairagya - all these constitute Niyama. The sitting in any posture pleasant to one and clothed in tatters (or bark) is prescribed for Asana (posture). Inspiration, restraint of breath and expiration, which have respectively 16, 64 and 32 (Matras) constitute Pranayama (restraint of breath). The restraining of the mind from the objects of senses is Pratyahara (subjugation of the senses). The contemplation of the oneness of consciousness in all objects is Dhyana. The mind having been drawn away from the objects of the senses, the fixing of the Chaitanya (consciousness) (on one alone) is Dharana. The forgetting of oneself in Dhyana is Samadhi. He who thus knows the eight subtle parts of Yoga attains salvation. Tejo bindu upanishad 30. But it should be directed towards that seat (of Brahman) wherein the cessation of seer, the seen and sight will take place and not towards the tip of the nose.

  • Raja Yoga and Its Role in Spirituality
    International Journal of Yoga and Allied Sciences (ISSN: 2278 – 5159) Volume: 4, Issue: 2; July- Dec 2015 Raja Yoga and Its Role in Spirituality Dr. Pratibha Bharti* *Department of Biotechnology, Shaheed Udham Singh Group of Institutes, Mohali, Punjab, India E Mail: [email protected] Abstract Raja Yoga is sometimes referred to as "royal Yoga", "classical Yoga" and "aṣṭānga Yoga". Raja Yoga is also referred to as Mental Yoga, or the Yoga of the Mind, because of its emphasis on awareness of one's state of mind. It is through this practice of concentration that one learns to calm the mind and bring it to one point of focus so that we direct our attention inwardly, towards our true nature, which is Divine. Aim: Raja Yoga thus aims at attaining higher levels of spiritual awakening. Spirituality brings lasting and meaningful change to our lives through inner transformation. As we change, the universe changes around us. With this change, there is nurturing of the inner qualities. All aspects of our life must be spiritualized so that they can be directed towards attaining the goal of God-realization. This is the highest path, to God-union. Conclusion: In raja Yoga meditation we use our mental powers to realize the ‗Atman‘ through the process of psychological control. According to Bhagavad Gita: ―When, through the practice of Yoga, the mind ceases its restless movement and becomes still, the aspirant realizes the Atman‖. The mind is cleansed and made tranquil through the repeated practice of ―meditation and moral virtues‖, both of which are crucial in spiritual path.

  • The 8 Rungs of Raja Yoga (The Royal Path)
    HYT-TTP Level One and 200-Hour Program Retreat Handouts THE 8 RUNGS OF RAJA YOGA (THE ROYAL PATH) By Sonia van Nispen Raja yoga or the “Royal Path” is also known as Ashtanga yoga, which means “the yoga of eight limbs or rungs”. Another name by which it is known is ‘Integral yoga’. It is the vastest, most complete, and most comprehensive of all the yogas (such as Karma yoga, Bhakti yoga, Jnana yoga, Kundalini yoga, Mantra yoga, Laya yoga, Nada yoga, etc.). The eight rungs or ‘limbs’ of yoga as defined in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras are as follows: • Yama : the yamas constitute the ethical foundation in our lives. They regulate our relations with others. There are five of them: o Ahimsa : non violence, in action, speech and thought. Non violence with regard to others, but also regarding ourselves. o Satya : truthfulness, again in action, speech and thought. o Asteya : non-theft, which includes ‘subtle’ appropriation (like accepting credit for something you have not done). o Aparigraha : ‘non grabbingness’. It is a matter of not being possessed by your possessions, of reducing your attachment to the material world. o Brahmacharya : celibacy or moderation. When speaking of sexuality, the translation would be celibacy, but we want to moderate the outward movement of all the senses (so for instance also conquer gluttony), in order to always have our senses attuned to the presence of God. In fact, the literal meaning of the word is ‘walking with God’. Sexuality is the strongest of our urges and the most difficult to conquer, hence the interpretation as celibacy.
