Probably the situation has been a very difficult one. In my search for peaceful satisfaction in life, I have been trapped by peacelessness, which has influenced me so much that I have moved so far away from my natural consciousness of peace.

RAJA YOGA - can be defined in a number of ways. The word "Yoga" simply means "Union", and the word "Raja" means "Supreme", "King" or "Master". Raja Yoga is the king of all yogas because through it I can become sovereign. But, of what? Not over others, because that would be artificial.

MY AIM - is to become the master of my own mind, even to master my own personality, and of course to be the master of the physical costume - my body.
The first subject of Raja Yoga is also the one that leads us to the last - that of not merely who I am, the soul, but of soul consciousness. The final stage of achievements through Raja Yoga, in which souls are free of all negative influences and have reached a state of perfection, is based entirely on this first lesson of soul consciousness.
