Raj-yoga meditation is a spiritual practice to make the connection with God. Raj means the kingdom and yoga mean union. The Raj-yoga means to establish the kingdom of heaven by becoming one with God. In Raj yoga meditation, you realize yourself as a soul and connect with the supreme soul, i.e. god.

Raj-Yoga Meditation.

I was in Mount Abu in Brahmakumari’s Shantivan Ashram, and here I am sharing the elevating experience that can serve you to transform your life and inspire you to experience life with a higher perception.

In Brahma Kumaris ashram, the day starts at 3.0 am for Raj-yoga meditation. Before you move for your morning meditation, a tea is served to keep you alert at the time of meditation. Everyone gathers into the main hall, to practice meditation.

You can pick any spot in the ashram to practice meditation. The morning meditation is the best time to have an elevating experience. Even in the evening time, the meditation is practiced, whereby the whole activities of the ashram gets stopped and everyone practice meditation together.

Raj-yoga meditation is to realize oneself as a soul and connect with the supreme soul. The Supreme soul is another name for God. We all are the soul’s in a human form. When you see yourself as a soul, it gets easier to connect with the supreme soul, i.e. God. The soul doesn’t have a form, and neither does the supreme soul. We all are the children of the supreme soul.

People do make the image of God, in their own form, so that it helps them to connect with God, but as your understanding gets deeper, you touch the higher dimension that allows you to break the illusion of God in a human form.

The raj-yoga meditation helps you to touch that inner reality of the self so that you can experience the truth of life both inside as well as outside.

The experience of meditation takes place in a subtle world, and thus it gets hard to express it in words. As love can only be experienced, the soul is subtler than any feelings or emotions, and thus it gets difficult to bring the experience of soul in words.

Normally, people relate themselves to the physical body, and thus it gets difficult for the mind to understand the truth of the soul. To realize the soul, the attention of the mind needs to be directed inward.

Raj yoga meditation helps you to have the first-hand experience of the soul. Once you realize the soul, it gets easier to understand the supreme soul. Experiencing the supreme soul is realizing the source of life.

 Whenever in your lifetime you will experience the soul or realize the truth of God, you will face the difficulty in expressing your truth to others.

The way the child and mother’s love cannot be measured but can only be felt and experience, in a similar way, the benefit out of raja-yoga meditation can only be savored as an experience for oneself and cannot be proved or measured in a physical world. With raja-yoga meditation, you can make the connection with God.

The experience of raja-yoga meditation is so strong and powerful, that you lose complete sense of self-effortlessly. People hold their thoughts, emotions and the personal identity (ego) so tight that even when the time comes to drop themselves for their own good, it becomes impossible for them.

In Shantivan ashram, the energy and vibrations are so strong that you remain in meditative state effortlessly. Thousands of people meditate every day on God, and their energy and vibrations you can feel in every corner of the ashram. In the ashram, you lose complete sense of the self and find yourself in full ecstasy of positive energy and vibrations.

Disciplined life, traffic control (meditation for two minutes 5 times a day), morning, and evening meditation, healthy food habits, moving to bed as early as eleven, afternoon rest, no workload, surrendering the act to the Supreme soul are the few rituals followed on a daily basis.

Everything in the ashram is meticulously planned, considering all the different facets of life.

“Your life is not made up of just one great act, but your daily actions in part makes one great life”.

Peace Of Mind

In the ashram, every act works as an empowerment of the soul, be it the traffic control, where 5 times a day, you meditate for 2 minutes in the remembrance of God, or the disciplined life where each work is rightly conducted.

People don’t overdo themselves at BrahmaKumaris ashram and work in a small-small shift. The daily working hours never exceed more than six hours unless in some special case.

The purpose or primary goal of life is to realize the soul and establish the kingdom of heaven. All the other activities are the byproduct of the primary goal.
