Book Synopsis

Fourteen Lessons on Raja Yoga
By Swami Sivananda

Life today is full of stress and strain, of tension and nervous irritability, of passion and hurry. If man puts into practice a few of the elementary principles of Yoga, he would be far better equipped to cope with his complex existence.

Yoga is complete life. It is a method which overhauls all aspects of human personality. Yoga is a system of integral education. The science of Raja Yoga is universal, it is applicable to all.

The fourteen elementary lessons on Raja Yoga are an enumeration of Patanjali's octagonal system which begins with ethical discipline and ends with the final dissolution of the individual perception in the cosmic consciousness. No impossible methods are advocated herein. No allegiance is demanded to a particular cult. Here indeed is shown the way to live full and happy life to one's own personal advantage and usefulness to others.

COMPASSION: A horse-cart once collapsed near the Ashram and the poor horse became unconscious. It was bleeding. Dr Hridayananda Mataji was immediately sent for.

The Master said to her, "See, you have to do something for the horse."

"Swamiji, I am not a veterinary doctor. I do not know how to treat animals," she pleaded.

"No, no. Use your intelligence. If you have mercy for animals you will be able to do something. Increase the dosage that you normally give to humans, but try to save the animal."

Hridayananda Mataji gave whatever injections came into her mind and the animal was saved.

"Unless you are reflective, you cannot draw forth the full value of your study. They may make you a wellinformed person but they need not necessarily make you a wise person, nor a successful person unless study is backed by reflection." - Swami Chidananda
