Raja Yoga was an instant hit and had a big impact on how people in the West thought about yoga.De Michelis says that Raja Yoga is the beginning of modern yoga, even though yoga has changed a lot since then.Raja Yoga has transcripts of Vivekananda's talks on "Raja Yoga" and his interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.It also has a "rather free translation" of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras with Vivekananda's commentaries, which was also a set of talks.It gives strange teachings to a group of cultists who were looking for "ideologically familiar forms of practical spirituality."
