Raja Yoga In Sanskrit texts, Rāja yoga was both the goal of yoga and a method to attain it. The term also became a modern name for the practice of yoga in the 19th-century when Swami Vivekananda gave his interpretation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in his book Raja Yoga. Since then, Rāja yoga has variously been called aṣṭāṅga yoga, royal yoga, royal union, sahaja marg, and classical yoga.
Raja Yoga, also known as the Royal Path of Yoga, is the yoga of meditation and discipline. It focuses on mastering the mind through systematic practices, leading to self-realization and spiritual liberation..
