Description de l’éditeur

PRESS NOTICES OF RAJA YOGA.

The whole spirit of the book is candid in the extreme. It appeals to what is best and noblest in man. It makes no foolish mysteries, and demands no blind belief. It puts forth its system in a plain and simple manner. It is able to present its own method without in any way attacking the method of others. It manifests a charity that it is usual to call Christian, but which Vivekananda proves is equally the property of the Hindu. If this little book had nothing to teach but the beautiful toleration it advocates, it would be well worth reading; but many will find in it valuable suggestions to aid in reaching the higher life.—Arena, March, 1897.

This work embraces a series of lectures that fully explain the doctrines and principles of the philosophy of the Indian monks, who have aroused such a widespread interest in this country. To the reader who is seeking after the truth and light, this volume will be indeed welcome. It is written in an unusually clear style that all readers can understand.—Bookseller and Newsman.

How to get at the soul and put the reins of the mind and the body into its hands, is the problem that Raja Yoga attempts to solve, and all those persons who practice Yoga are known as Yogis. Then—how to become a Yogi, how to rise to a high state of psychic control is what Vivekananda endeavors to point out in these lectures.—Literary Digest.

A large part of the book is occupied with that method of attaining perfection known as Raja Yoga, and there are also translations of a number of aphorisms and an excellent glossary.—Living Age, Aug. 5th, 1899.

A valuable portion of the volume to students is the glossary of Sanskrit technical terms. This includes not only such terms as are employed in the book, but also those frequently employed in works on the Vedanta philosophy in general.—New York Times, July 22nd, 1899.

A new edition, with an enlarged glossary, which will be welcomed by students of comparative religion, who are already familiar with the author's lectures in this country.—Review of Reviews, Oct., 1899.

The methods of practical realization of the divine within the human are applicable to all religions, and all peoples, and only vary in their details to suit the idiosyncrasy of race and individuals.—Post, Washington, D. C., June 12th, 1899.
