Two compiled texts: 1/ A Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga 2/A Series of Lessons in Gnani Yoga EXCERPT: "The Yogi Philosophy may be divided into several great branches, or fields. What is known as "Hatha Yoga" deals with the physical body and its control; its welfare; its health; its preservation; its laws, etc. What is known as "Raja Yoga" deals with the Mind; its control; its development; its unfoldment, etc. What is known as "Bhakti Yoga" deals with the Love of the Absolute-God. What is known as "Gnani Yoga" deals with the scientific and intellectual knowing of the great questions regarding Life and what lies back of Life-the Riddle of the Universe. Each branch of Yoga is but a path leading toward the one end-unfoldment, development, and growth. " Publishers' Notice PART I. A SERIES OF LESSONS IN RAJA YOGA The First Lesson. THE "I."
