Unveiling the Inner Divinity: Harmony Between Swami Vivekananda's Vision and Raja Yoga Meditation

Swami Vivekanand says that every one born in the world has a unique talent it is the duty of the school and college education to find the hidden talent, the same is viewed in Raja Yoga meditation as , each and every soul is very special, no one can play my role that is why I am here, no one can play your role that is why you are here.





Swami Vivekananda also says God is with in every one it is the duty of the spiritual satsang to help to find the God within. Raja Yoga meditation says God is not Omni present, he is not available in every body. Even though we do not have the Divine within us we have the divine qualities with in us. God's Divine qualities are Knowledge, Purity, Peace, Love, Happiness, Bliss and Power. God is ocean in all this character. We are trying to become one like Him.


This is the view of Raja Yoga view of what Swami Vivekananda says in Bhakthi.


Detailed Description:

In the realm of spiritual thought, the profound insights of Swami Vivekananda and the philosophy of Raja Yoga meditation converge to shed light on the uniqueness and divine potential inherent in every individual. Swami Vivekananda's assertion that each person is endowed with a distinct talent, waiting to be uncovered, resonates harmoniously with the Raja Yoga perspective, which emphasizes the special role and qualities of each soul.


Vivekananda's philosophy posits that educational institutions hold the responsibility of unearthing and nurturing the latent talents within individuals. Similarly, Raja Yoga meditation advocates for the realization of one's distinctive purpose and identity. Both viewpoints highlight the significance of self-discovery and personal growth, recognizing that every soul brings a unique essence to the collective tapestry of existence.


Contrasting views arise when it comes to the presence of God within individuals. Swami Vivekananda emphasizes that the divine essence resides within every being and that spiritual congregations, or satsangs, play a pivotal role in facilitating its discovery. On the other hand, Raja Yoga suggests that while the Divine may not be omnipresent within us, we are endowed with divine qualities like Knowledge, Purity, Peace, Love, Happiness, Bliss, and Power. This viewpoint seeks to inspire individuals to cultivate these qualities and strive towards oneness with the divine, thereby evolving into reflections of the divine ocean of character.
