Raja Yoga

For thousands of years, extraordinary and supernatural phenomena have been studied, investigated, and generalized. The entire range of man's religious faculties has been analyzed, and the practical result is the science of Raja Yoga. In modern times, Swami Vivekananda has been the most authoritative oracle to propound this age-old science of God-realization. The main theme of the book is the concentration of mind as a means to the superconscious state. The first part of the book comprises several lectures to classes delivered by the Swami in New York. The second part is a rather free translation of the aphorisms of Patanjali, with a running commentary. This book is invaluable for all practitioners of meditation.
