I feel pleasure in writing few lines about the author Dr.Raghavan. He started his life from a humble beginning ,Hailing from an orthodox family he has good knowledge about tradition. He has also got academic distinctions to his credit and did his M.Tech, Electronics and Ph.d at Roorkee University.
It is during that period at Roorkee by the stroke of luck or poorva punya,he came to the holy feet of Sri Ramachandraji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur in year 1970 and ever since he is practicing the method given by Master with all earnestness. Commentaries from people like Dr.Raghavan with such intellectual and traditional background would definitely convince the people to try the system and see for themselves the outcome. This is the only intention of the author in writing this commentary on Sahaj Marg Philosophy.
In fact Dr.K.C.Varadachari, an intimate of the Great Master Sri Ramachandraji Maharaj, in whose order this institute is functioning is one of the first few to explain this great system of sadhana. In fact whole of South India came into the fold of Sri Ramachandraji after reading and studying the various books, articles and commentaries of this great personality Dr.K.C.Varadachari about whom there is a mention by the author in his commentary.
The author Dr.Raghavan ,himself being a grihastha explains how the system of yoga gives courage to a person leading an ordinary family life ,to practice this simple system of Rajayoga Sadhana and to reach the higher levels of consciousness. This system, a gift from the divine is a redeeming factor for householders (Grihasthas) who were hitherto condemned as unfit for higher spiritual states of consciousness contrary to earlier thinking that spiritual development is an exclusive prerogative of sanyasins. This system emphasizes that balanced existence is possible only for grihasthas. Moreover, the grihastasrama dharma alone provides a field for developing tolerance, co- operation and harmony which traits alone can make this world a happy place to live. He himself being a scientist, the author feels what better scientific approach can be there, other than experimenting this system of sadhana and feel for oneself the outcome. ” Do and Feel “, is the pramana of Sri Ramachandra’s Rajayoga.
The author also feels that the mathematical concept of zero to elucidate the nature of reality can answer and satisfy any atheist. The zero concept also enables the people with traditional background to understand the upanishadic concept of 1.Mahato Maheeyam (Larger than the largest) and 2. Anoraneeam (smaller than the smallest).
The author also talks about various yogas Kundalini yoga, Hathayoga, Patanjalis yoga sutras, Gayathri upasana during sandhya, and also mentions about western philosophers and their thinking and how this remodeled yoga
