Kingly yoga, raja yoga THERE are many yoga-forms, and raja-yoga is one of the demanding ones. [See Via 578] If demanding, it may exhaust and may do havoc.

Hatha Yoga Pradipika (Introduction) FOREWORD by B K S Iyengar The Hatha yoga pradipika of Svatmarama is one of the most important yoga texts, and Hans-Ulrich Rieker's translation and commentary have long been valuable to yoga students as a complement to their practice and study. Hatha yoga, or hatha vidya (the science of hatha yoga) is commonly misunderstood and misrepresented as being simply a physical culture, divorced from spiritual goals.
Hans-Ulrich Rieker shows the error of this idea by explaining the changes which take place, through the practice of hatha yoga, in the practitioner's body, mind and self.

Whether it is through politics, therapy or religion, there are those people who are looking for a greater meaning to their lives.
For these people, the life of material pleasures is not enough. If you, too, are looking for the absolute Truth, you are a seeker. Within all seekers there is a drive that keeps them looking, that keeps them questing. Their Spirit thirsts for a union with its Greater Self. From communism to transcendentalism, from drugs to psychic phenomena, a seeker's journey can be a long one. Only the Mother can make the Child a Master, and only the Motherhood in any guru can make the disciple a guru. That same journey can also be dangerous. "At the very outset we have to understand that we cannot create truth, we cannot organize truth.
