Raja Yoga  Karma Yoga Bhakti Yoga jñana Yoga 

In RCCY the four main paths of yoga (jñana, bhakti, karma and raja) converge.

The Christ consciousness is an extra dimension that is added to this. Raja Yoga forms the basis of the four main paths. The Yoga sustras of Patanjali indicate the direction.

Below is a brief explanation:

The book consists of four parts:

• Part 1 deals with the general nature of yoga and its technique, in other words with the question “What is yoga?”.
• Part 2 deals with the philosophy of the kleshas, in other words the question “Why should someone actually practice yoga” and with the first five exercises of the yoga technique.
• Part 3 discusses the other exercises of the yoga technique and the achievements that one achieves by practicing it.
• Part 4 sets out all the essential philosophical problems involved in the study and practice of yoga.

Part 1: Samadhi Pada (about the exaltation)

Regarding Samadhi, the essential yoga technique for the development of consciousness, realize the superconscious.

Part 2: Sadhana Pada (about the education).

Part 3: Vibuti Pada (about the developing psychic higher faculties).
