Raj Yoga the Key To Balanced Life

Raj Yoga is predominantly about training the mind and living a balanced life. In today's world, one is expected to be result oriented and there is a strong belief that' If you are not One-up, you are One-down.' There is peer pressure, boss's pressure and above all, society's expectations, all of which are shifting from the old Indian Satopradhan  nature to a highly Rajopradhan materialistic life-style.Old Indian lifestyle is now redundant, because the society is getting more and more competitive. Now who would like to be left behind ?  But then, if one wants to go all out for it, there is a risk of  loosing one's peace of mind. This is why many people  are now seen taking solace from Yoga and Meditation. Some 60 years back Intelligence Quotient -I. Q. for short, was all important. But in the recent past, people have discovered that Emotional Quotient E. Q. is also of equal value, if not more.To be realistic, both are required in proper balance. The Brain has two hemispheres, the Left and the Right. The function of Left is mostly analytical and mathematical , while that of Right hemisphere is to synthesize, innovate and bring about a wise decision. All through our educational life, we learnt mostly to use the Left Brain to improve I.Q. With meditation and an overall training in Raj Yoga one learns to use the Right Brain so as to develop E.Q.  This way you bring balance into your life.
