Swami SatchidandaMaster of Integral Yoga
“After you have decided which path is right for you,
stick to that path, but do not say to others that this is
the only one. Recognize all of the paths and respect
them. In the spiritual life, all paths lead to the same
place.”

Raja Yoga or “Royal Yoga” Formulated by Patanjali during 2nd Century
C.E. based on his work the ‘Yoga Sutras’ (195 aphorisms). He is often studied and considered an authority on yoga.
Patanjali wrote the sutras in response to Mahayana Buddhism which taught non-dualism (reality is singular and distinctions are made by the ego, therefore illusion).
Patanjali stands out from Eastern counterparts by teaching the Self and Nature are distinct and irreconcilable. Patanjali teaches dualism.
Professes that nature is insentient, and includes the mind. Yoga is the extraction of the Self from nature.
