Rāja yoga

Rāja yoga (/ˈrɑːdʒə ˈjoʊɡə/) is a term with a variety of meanings depending on the context. In Sanskrit texts Raja yoga refers to the goal of yoga (which is usually samadhi) and not a method of attaining it. Classical tantric texts use the term raja yoga to refer to the consumption of sexual emissions in their practices. The term also became a modern retronym, when in the 19th-century Swami Vivekananda equated raja yoga with the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
