Raja Yoga

Yoga defines itself as a science, that is truly a practical, methodical, and systematic discipline, or set of techniques, which has the supercilious goal of helping human beings become aware of their true nature. Raja yoga comprehends teachings from all the different paths. As because of all inclusive, it can be practiced by people of many backgrounds and temperaments. Raja Yoga involves all three dimensions of human interaction like physical, mental, and spiritual. By following this path, people can achieve balance and harmony on all of these levels and then accomplish full realization of the Self. It is a scientific discipline that does not impose unquestioning faith. The yoga encourages healthy self-examination. Certain practices are prescribed and their benefits described in researches. Thus, this path can be scientifically evidenced by anyone who experiments with its methods. Because of this, raja yoga is perfectly suited to the modern world, where scientific skepticism is so prevalent. Raja yoga is also called Ashtanga yoga (the eightfold path) because the eight steps create an orderly process of self-transformation, beginning on the level of the physical body, and eventually involving the most delicate levels of life. The eight steps sequentially yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi.
