What is Sahaj Marg?

Sahaj Marg means the Natural Path/Heartfulness, and is a spiritual practice based on inner experience through meditation.
It is a form of ancient practice of Raja Yoga, refined and simplified for modern everyday life.
It is practised daily by people from all backgrounds and all cultures, and is easily integrated into a busy lifestyle, bringing balance, joy and spiritual growth
Sahaj marg involves meditation, cleaning, and prayer. The cleaning of impressions (called samskaras) is claimed to be unique to this method

What is Raja Yoga?

Raja yoga is declared as the goal where one experiences nothing but the bliss of the undisturbed, the natural state of calm, serenity, peace, communion within and contentment.
The first known use of the phrase “Rāja yoga” occurs in a 16th-century commentary on a specific step in the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali.
The term also became a modern name for the practice of yoga, when in the 19th-century Swami Vivekananda gave his interpretation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in his book Raja Yoga.
