Raj Yoga - The Ancient Yoga Of India Taught By The Brahma Kumaris
The Brahma Kumaris teaches the original and ancient system of yoga - Raja Yoga. "Yoga" generally refers to some physical postures or breathing exercises but its deepest definition is "the mental union or link between the individual soul and the Supreme Being, or God."
"Raja" means "king", so "Raja Yoga" can be understood in various ways:
. the King of Yogas or the Royal Yoga.
. the yoga through which the soul becomes a ruler of its mind, intellect and personality, thereby ruling the sense organs of the body and being in complete control of any situation.
Raja Yoga was first taught 5,000 years ago in India but as time went by the original spiritual methods and principles which kept souls in union with the Supreme Soul were hidden by other practices, and the aim of complete perfection of the human being was kept aside as un-attainable. Recently however, those original methods of how to connect with the Supreme Soul through thoughts (meditation) have been revealed again, making the spiritual effort towards complete self-transformation easy and natural. To make the meditation more meaningful a lot of knowledge is also given by the Brahma Kumaris - who we are, where we are from, where we're going, who God is, what His role is and how to develop a relationship with Him so that peace, love, wisdom and bliss flow into the soul, restoring it to its rightful original stage. Understanding all these points helps us to stabilize ourselves in such a state of self-confidence that not only does our own life take on a completely new and marvelous color, but we find ourselves able to inspire many others to take up the challenge of creating a new world on the basis of self-change.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
