Yama Raja And Brahma

RAH Ra XAH Jah Raja
Rāja yoga ("royal yoga", "royal union", also known as classical yoga and aṣṭānga yoga) is one of the six schools of dharmic (astika) Hindu philosophy. Its principal text is the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Raja yoga is concerned principally with the cultivation of the viewer's (ṛṣih) mind using a succession of steps, such as meditation (dhyāna, dhyana) and contemplation (samādhi, samadhi). Its object is to further one's acquaintance with reality (viveka), achieve awakening (moksha) and eventually enlightenment, kaivalya.
Rāja yoga was first described as an eightfold or eight-limbed (aṣṭānga, ashtanga) path in the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, and is part of the Samkhya tradition. As a result, it has also been known as sesvara samkhya, and Patanjali samkhya.
In the context of Hindu philosophy, rāja yoga is known simply as yoga The term rāja yoga is a retronym, introduced in the 19th-century by Swami Vivekananda.  The prior use of the term rāja yoga in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika refers to the highest form of yoga, laya yoga, described in this text. The HYP is a text of the Natha sampradaya^[4] and is not concerned with the yoga taught in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
