Part
II: The
Art and Science of Raja Yoga
The main purpose of yoga postures, for example, sometimes thought to bestow only physical benefits, is to prepare the body and mind for meditation. Affirmations, visualizations, breathing exercises, healing techniques, the different paths of yoga, and, to a certain extent, diet are similarly helpful.
What unites these various areas is raja yoga's inward, spiritual focus, which achieves its fullest expression in the practice of meditation. Along with The Art and Science of Raja Yoga comes a CD. It is 74 minutes in length. It has three tracks: track 1 is a talk: "Meditation: The Great Problem Solver;" track 2: is a 37 minute routine of Ananda Yoga for Higher Awareness; and track 3: is an 18 minute guided meditation entitled, "Guided Meditation On The Light."

The
Art and Science of Raja Yoga is the most comprehensive course on yoga
and meditation offered today. It gives us the balanced and complete approach
of raja yoga, which is also known as the "royal" yoga. The course
is organized around seven topics-Philosophy, Meditation, Postures, Breathing,
Routines, Healing Principles and Techniques, and Diet. It also includes
in-depth discussions of the paths of karma, bhakti, and gyana yoga. The
author, Swami Kriyananda, excels in showing the interdependence of these
seemingly separate areas and how all of them, when correctly approached,
further our spiritual progress.
Learn
Ananda Yoga™ for higher awareness, a system of yoga postures
and affirmations designed to strengthen your body and bring balance
to your inner and outer life.
The
Ananda Course audio companion MP3 set is a vast treasure trove of spiritual
teachings. All fourteen tapes are taken from classes given by Swami Kriyananda
on virtually every subject of the spiritual path. It directly corresponds
with each step in The Art and Science of Raja Yoga, Part II, of the Ananda
Course in Self-Realization. Each talk contains profound teachings and
clearly described techniques, with many enjoyable stories. Whether you
listen to them in conjunction with the study of The Art and Science of
Raja Yoga, or on their own, you will find these talks an invaluable aid
in deepening your understanding of the spiritual path.
