In Glimpses of Raja Yoga, Vimala Thakar introduces the basic concepts of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras by focusing on a different sutra, or aphorism, in each of the twelve chapters. In her opening chapter, she presents the historical and cultural background of Patanjali’s Raja Yoga. Chapter 2 contains an eloquent invocation of the dimension of Silence—the meditative state that one enters with the stilling of the mind. Chapters 3–6 examine the ethical principles and observances (the yamas and niyamas) that form the foundation of a healthy spiritual practice. Here Vimala discusses the importance of ahimsa (non-violence) and satya (truthfulness), and offers a radical interpretation of brahmacarya based on her understanding of Sanskrit. Chapter 7 concerns the kleshas or causes of suffering such as avidya (ignorance) and asmita (egotism). Chapter 8 discriminates between dharana (meditation with deliberate focus) and dhyana (effortless meditation), and reflects Vimala’s own experience. Chapter 9 describes the relation of prakriti (matter) and purusha (spirit) according to Patanjali. Chapters 10–12 describe the ultimate goal of the yogic journey—the absolute freedom of samadhi.

This book of Raja Yoga by Swami Vivekananda presents his understanding and interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Raja Yoga encompasses teachings from all the different paths, and it is from Raja yoga that hatha yoga and modern asana practices developed. Raja Yoga is constructed by its various elements, namely, Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi. In these, Yama refers to non-injury, truthfulness, non-covetousness, chastity, not receiving anything from the other. Niyama refers to the regular habits or observances; Asana refers to correcting the posture and explains yoga poses, and Pranayam means mastering and enlivening the life force; Pratyahara refers to inner reflection. Dharana is focused attention, Dhyana is meditation and Samadhi refers to freedom, liberation and enlightenment. The book is a powerful source of enlightenment for all that seeks liberation of the body and the mind harnessing peace in today's chaotic world.

For thousands of years extraordinary and supernatural phenomena have been studied, investigated, and generalised, the whole ground of the religious faculties of man has been analysed, and the practical result is the science of Raja Yoga. In the modern times Swami Vivekananda has been the most authoritative oracle to propound this age-old science of God-realization. The main theme of the book is concentration of mind as a means to superconscious state. The first part of the book comprises several lectures to classes delivered by the Swami in New York. The second part is a rather free translation of the aphorisms of Patanjali, with a running commentary. This book published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication centre of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, is invaluable and indispensable for all the practitioners of meditation.

This book give the information about Raja- Yoga. The words I here address to you may, to be sure, bestir your will to search for timeless truth, but all the insights I can offer in my native tongue are always but a call that would awaken you within; because the wisdom from the Himavat is taught in other ways. -Page 56 Do not bar your way to God with questions! Let those who live devoid to God and all who worship idols argue whether God exists. -Page 149 Your reasons are well founded when you doubt that God is indiscernible.We, by contrast, know for certain that God will not respond to anyone who questions his existence. -Page 149 In seeking God, the human being must become the point of your departure, lest God remain a stranger to your soul forever. -Page 150 God is alive in joy, not in the gloom of grief.Minds enslaved by grief conceived the suffering God to offer him their worship.But you should force your grief into your service that it may turn into a helper of your will to joy! -Page 146
