Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga: A Way of Life Talk delivered at Vijayawada on 25-2-1968
I have been asked to speak to you on Sri Ramchandra's Raja Yoga. I have had a strenuous philosophic and academic life, running alongside my spiritual aspiration for realizing the Ultimate truth or reality. Therefore it has become very important for me to express myself very clearly on this new methodology by which the Divine can be known in the most easy and simple manner. The Lord Buddha, at one stage in the evolution of our country's religion, stated that his path was sweet at the beginning, sweet in the middle, and sweet in the end. Similarly the Sri Ramchandra's Raja Yoga is simple and sweet in the beginning, simple and sweet in the middle and simple and sweet at the end. For the realization that has been promised by this simple system, it does not ask you to break your head with metaphysical words or technical phraseologies so commonly used by our learned people and philosophers. This is particularly absent in this system. We hold that speech and talk have to be thoroughly disciplined and made to be appropriate to the great subject of God. God, in the English language at least, consists of only 3 letters and our "Omkar" again consists of 3 letters. They are very simple to utter, simple to remember. But such a god-head has been made complicated, and we are today witnessing the clash of philosophies and cults devoted to God in his manifold form or appearance. But suppose you spent all your lives in turning towards understanding the nature of God in his infinite multiplicity, you must certainly spend a crore of lives before you exhaust the inexhaustible. Therefore, that path of trying to get God in his manifoldness is fraught with great ignorance and even conflict. I will not enter into the important divergences which have happened in our own cultural patterns.
So, I shall now speak about Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga as a natural path of yoga. We have had, as I told you, these religions and these philosophies which are facets of culture. The adaptation of man to the cosmic processes of nature was by naming them, and by taking each one phenomenon of nature as being governed by an aspect of God. So, we have got as many gods as we could desire. Perhaps there are also many other gods in the
