Inhaltsangabe

A Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga by Yogi Ramacharaka (a pen name used by William Walker Atkinson) is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of Raja Yoga, which is one of the classical forms of yoga focusing on meditation, mental control, and spiritual development. The book presents yoga as a holistic system that integrates the mind, body, and spirit, offering practical lessons for personal transformation and self-realization. Raja Yoga, often called the "royal path," emphasizes the mind's mastery over the physical body and emotions, aiming for a deep state of meditation and spiritual enlightenment. In this work, Atkinson distills these teachings in a way accessible to Western audiences in the early 20th century, while still rooted in ancient yogic philosophy.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 - November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.[1] He wrote an estimated 100 books, all in the last 30 years of his life. He was mentioned in past editions of Who's Who in America, in Religious Leaders of America, and in several[ similar publications. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900. William Walker Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1862,[4] to Emma and William Atkinson. He began his working life as a grocer at 15 years old, probably helping his father. He married Margret Foster Black of Beverly, New Jersey, in October 1889, and they had two children. Their first child probably died young. The second later married and had two daughters. Atkinson pursued a business career from 1882 onwards and in 1894 he was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of Pennsylvania. While he gained much material success in his profession as a lawyer, the stress and over-strain eventually took its toll, and during this time he experienced a complete physical and mental breakdown, and financial disaster. He looked for healing and in the late 1880s he found it with New Thought, later attributing the restoration of his health, mental vigor and material prosperity to the application of the principles of New Thought.
