Raj Yoga Meditation” session
The term Raja Yoga itself comes from Sanskrit—Raja meaning “king” or “royal,” and Yoga meaning “union”—so it’s often translated as “the king of yogas” or the “royal path to union.”
A form of meditation without rituals, mantras, or physical postures.
Unlike Hatha Yoga (physical postures), Kundalini Yoga (energy awakening), or Bhakti Yoga (devotional practices), Raj Yoga Meditation is mainly about mental connection and self-awareness—no rituals, chanting, or physical strain.
