The mechanics of Raja Yoga – Royal path to Divine union
Path of Yoga is the path of heroes – wanting to be in touch with the Maker
Raja Yoga combines all the other Yogas, right action, devotion and analysis
The eight limbs of Raja Yoga
Yama and Niyama – Yama or Ahimsa – non aggression to ourselves and all around us
Satya – truthfulness – acting truthfully
Astya – non-stealing – contains non-violence and truth – not stealing a person’s peace
Yama – Brahmacharya, to walk in the path of Divinity – not just celibacy
Forms of control over oneself – all aspects merge into one
Aparigraha – rejection of all ties and imbalanced attachments
Detachment is escapism – practised by Ascetics and Saddhus
Mankind’s greatest curse is ‘Me and mine’ – we belong to the Almighty
Niyama – five aspects – inner and outer cleanliness, right thinking
Contentment – contented in acceptance of my lot in life
With Niyama, kindness, compassion and a sense of service all follow
Pain and pleasure viewed objectively – not having a binding effect
Tapas – austerity – indifference to extremes
Self-study, self-analysis – the study of the Scriptures
Evaluation of the day’s activities – credit balance 
Self surrender to Divinity – ‘Thy Will be Done’
Loving the incarnations of the Absolute
