Raj Yoga – the Mystery and the Magic

Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India but is now practised in various forms around the world. Recognizing its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as the International Day of Yoga and we are dedicating the Thursday talk to this special event.

 

Mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita, Raja yoga, is the King of all yoga’s - the highest journey of meditation one can take to achieve full self awareness and self mastery. Our speaker this evening, Gopi Patel, will be sharing her wisdom and experience on this fascinating subject, and what it takes to fulfil the journey of complete self realisation.
