2012 Group: Home Raja Yoga Introduction The Kingly or Royal Path Raja literally means king. Raja yoga is one of the four main paths of yoga. The premise of raja yoga is that our mind creates our world. Our whole life, with its pleasures and pains, is nothing but our mind's creation. If the mind is unsteady, it will waver with each and every distraction, obstacle or event happening in its environment. The yogi who has achieved mind control is the true king of this world. In that sense the raja yogi is a true king, even though he may be a beggar, having renounced all possessions, while many kings are truly beggars. Please note that there are very few kings left in the modern world but, in our modern society, politicians and business people find themselves in a similar situation of power and enjoyment. The Mind is Like a Lake In the basic theory of raja yoga, the mind is compared to a lake. These modifications, thoughts and emotions, are called vrittis in raja yoga terminology and are best translated as thought waves.

Category:Creativity Techniques This A to Z of Creativity and Innovation Techniques, provides an introduction to a range of tools and techniques for both idea generation (Creativity) and converting those ideas into reality (Innovation). Like most tools these techniques all have their good and bad points. I like to think of these creativity and innovation techniques as tools in a toolbox in much the same way as my toolbox at home for DIY.
