Rja-Yoga also includes Swami Vivekananda's translation and commentary of the &quot;Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali.&quot;  Raja-Yoga, along with Swami Vivekananda's Karma-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, and Jnna-Yoga, are considered classics and outstanding treatises on Hindu philosophy.  The Swami's deep spiritual insight, fervid eloquence, and broad human sympathy shine forth in these works and offer inspiration to all spiritual seekers. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Vivekananda once said, &quot;I have a message to the West, as Buddha had a message to the East.&quot; And the message was Vedanta. <em>Vedanta: Voice of Freedom </em> is culled from Vivekananda's collected works. This book presents in a clear and concise form the spiritual wisdom of India as it has evolved over five thousand years. Thus it evokes the living Vedanta put forth by an extraordinary mind. <br/>  <p><em> <strong> Edited &amp; with an Introduction by Swami Chetanananda of the Ramakrishna Order of India  </strong>  <p><em><strong>Foreword by Christopher Isherwood  </strong><br/>   <p><em><strong>Preface by Huston Smith  </strong></em></p></em></p></em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Composed by the famous Indian sage sometime between the first and third centuries CE, <em>The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali</em> sets forth the practical and philosophical foundations of Raja Yoga. These aphorisms clearly mark out the path to Self-Realization, and their influence has been profound throughout the millennia. They are still regularly used today by those interested in the Yogic approach to self-knowledge and are open to anyone of any religion. The Sutras are presented here in a free form translation, with an insightful running commentary that makes them easily understandable to the modern reader and yoga practitioner.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;At the 1893 Parliament of Religions in Chicago, Swami Vivekananda transformed Western thinking. He showed that, far from being an exotic novelty, Hinduism was an important, legitimate spiritual tradition with valuable lessons for the West. <em>Pathways to Joy</em> is a selection of 108 of his sacred teachings on Vedanta philosophy. In accessible and powerful prose, Vivekananda illuminates the four classical yoga paths &#8212; karma, bhakti, raja, and jnana &#8212; for the different natures of humankind. The messages focus on the oneness of existence; the divinity of the soul; the truth in all religions; and unifying with the Divine within. Invaluable and inspiring, the selections also explore karma, maya, rebirth, and other great revelations of Hinduism.&lt;/div&gt;]]>
