1. RAJ YOGA is the old system or science followed by the great rishis and saints to help them in realising Self or God. It was prevalent in India long before the time of Ramayana. It was first introduced by a great rishi who lived seventy- two generations prior to Raja Dashrath of the Suryavamsh (Surya dynasty). He devoted much of his time pondering a good deal to find out the real method of achieving freedom by which problems of life could easily be solved. He was swimming in the Central Region (as described in the book), being mostly attached to the Centre itself. His state was akin to that of the present Personality now working for the Change, as required by nature. After pondering long over the subject, the great sage at last discovered the method which ultimately developed into what is known as Raj Yoga. When he was in close touch with the Centre, he discovered the reality of the world with its cause or force in existence. He found out that the motion or stir of some power from beneath the Centre brought the present world into existence. That stirring thought is in other words called Upadan Karan (Hindi) or Kshobh (Hindi). At last he arrived at the conclusion that it is the outcome of the power which is similar to or identical with the thought power of man*. Naturally he deduced that thought could bring out such results and that its power is unlimited. He then took work from the thought power which fell to our lot, and with it he started training. That is the basis of Raj Yoga or the King of yogas. The kingly thing in us is thought which ultimately develops, steering us to our goal. Sages after sages have improved and developed it as their practical experience increased. Thought ultimately takes the form of reality, and appears in naked form, so to say. This can all be verified by the persons having clairvoyant vision of a high merit. There may be different methods of teaching through this science, but the governing principle remains the same. With this power or force we establish a link with God.

    2. I accept judicious opinion of Swami Vivekananda was also ardent practitioner of Raj Yoga. Swamiji says, that it is “Raj yoga”, alone that can successfully lead a man to the highest level of approach; and that none but one having the capacity to apply his own internal powers through ‘pranahuati’ is fit for being a guide or Master”. I may also assure you that ‘Hath-Yoga’ has no access beyond ‘Ajnya Chakra’. In Hath-Yoga , the consciousness of our physical efforts, with the idea of self in the background also remains all through. Thus , the ego instead of getting reduced goes on increasing.

    3. It is admitted fact that the thought force of man is nearer to GOD.

    4. I have shown the efficacy of Raj Yoga. It is the only thing which can weave one’s destiny. It is complete in itself. Practice and anubhava only can reveal it. I do not ask you to believe me blindly, but I would most solemnly request you to practice it in right earnest and see that things are coming to your knowledge. There are other methods too to practice Raj-Yoga ; but I assure you this method as given in this book is the most befitting. My sincere advice to the readers is to seek the adept in this science. It is very difficult to find such a person, but they are there, no doubt, in this world.

    5. It is RajYoga and RajYoga alone that can lead you on to your ultimate destination or the highest point of human approach where you are in perfect harmony with nature, assuming your absolute and pure form.
