Ratings and reviews

These books by Swami Vivekananda are available at Ramakrishna Mutt. The books have run out of copyright protection and hence this author is adding annotations and re-selling it. Seriously? Do you even remotely know what is Raja Yoga?

Sri Ramakrishna's beloved disciple Swamiji Vivekananda makes all four branches of yoga (union) accessible to lay persons and Self-Realized yogis alike. His compassion for all sentient beings is lovingly transmitted through his works. This volume deals with the aspects of Raja Yoga, ie, Self Realization through the practice of meditation. I have been studying, practicing, and teaching, Eastern Philosophy for over 25 years; Vivekananda's books are ecumenical, and are a must for every spiritual aspirant.JAYA!

Great commentaries on the ancient Yoga philosophy and techniques.
