The Benefits of Studying Raja Yoga
The topics covered in these courses lead to a deeper understanding of yourself, your intrinsic positive qualities and your innate value. In time, this understanding becomes a natural part of your day-to-day awareness, constructively influencing how you see yourself and how you relate to your world.
In the process of exploring and practicing these universal concepts, you will come to a first-hand awareness of the interconnectedness of the human family, and the rights, roles and responsibilities of individuals. This is very important in your spiritual development. It will give you a fresh perspective on values such as justice, freedom, respect and love.

Simple and honest effort is the only prerequisites for success in meditation. As in any field of endeavor, the rewards of meditation and spiritual study are in proportion to the time and effort you invest.
