CDbaby New Release!by Swami Rama Centre
Lectures on Yoga Sutras: Raja Yoga by Swami Rama In this lecture Swami Rama systematically explains the eight limbs (ashtanga) or stages in the practice of Raja Yoga. He says that when we start practicing our awareness expands and we become conscious of the many obstacles on the path to realizing our goal. When these problems are resolved, through the practice of meditation, the mind flows toward the center of consciousness within. He further explains that meditation (dhyana) requires preparation, that it is the 7th rung in the ladder of ashtanga yoga and he then proceeds to discuss the different stages of practice leading to meditation and samadhi.
