Raja Yoga

This foundational text by Yogi Ramacharaka outlines the path of classical yoga, especially meditation, mental discipline, and the training of attention. Widely read in the early modern occult and New Thought milieu, it provides practical exercises and explanations of yogic philosophy adapted for Western readers.

Yogi Ramacharaka is a pseudonym used by William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) for a series of popular books on yoga, Eastern spirituality, and occult philosophy. These works played an important role in introducing Western audiences to simplified presentations of yogic and esoteric ideas in the early 20th century.
