he Chicago BK Raja Yoga Meditation Center is a place to learn Raja Yoga meditation and to learn how your inner strengths and abilities can be used to make your life a beautiful and effective life. We offer classes and ongoing programs. All activities are free of charge.You can learn this easy method of meditation in several individual appointments or in a small group with 2 or 3 other students. The word Yoga means link or union, and Raja implies becoming self-sovereign (the ruler of the self), unshakable and uninfluenced by situations around you. Raja Yoga is a discipline of the mind, not of the body. It's the way to make your mind your best friend!

  • Why meditation?

    • The challenge of living in the world today requires a wider range of personal skills and coping abilities than at any other time in history. Continuously accelerating change, and increasing complexity and pressure, demands a new kind of education that re-energizes the spirituality of the individual. Meditation is a valuable set of tools for this.

  • What does it do?

    • Meditation heals spirit, mind and body. More and more people are adding some kind of meditation to their daily life routine, either as an effective antidote to stress or as a simple method of relaxation. By enhancing the ability to cope effectively with rapid change, meditation can open up a whole new understanding of your purpose and potential. It positively affects all areas of your spirit, mind and body.

  • What are the benefits of Raja Yoga?
