A key figure in the revival of Hinduism in India, and instrumental in introducing Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world, Swami Vivekananda achieved more in his short 39 years than most could possibly achieve in two life-times. Vivekananda promoted Òthe science of religionÓ, the common threads of spirituality that run through almost all traditional religions that, despite dogmatic and ritual differences, hold the key to enlightenment. This volume contains two of his most famous and studied works. Raja Yoga (literally Òroyal yogaÓ) is his instructional manual on the mechanics of spirituality, focusing on meditation and mental control. Bhakti Yoga (Ódevotional yogaÓ) is, as Vivekananda himself puts it, Òa real, genuine search after the Lord, a search beginning, continuing, and ending in Love.Ó Bhakti Yoga emphasizes practice over ritual. Contains an extensive glossary of Hindu and Buddhist terms.
