Atmic Testament on Yoga is the ten-year study of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras taught by Babaji Bob Kindler to the students of SRV Associations and other interested persons from around the U.S. The text used by the students was Swami Vivekananda's Raja Yoga. This signature work was delivered expressly for the purpose of introducing the Yoga Philosophy to Westerners in the late 1890's. It represents Vivekananda's direct transmission of the fundamentals of the Yoga System (darshana) through lectures that delved into previously unheard-of concepts, for example: yogic breathing, prana (vital force of the body), psychic prana (mental force that moves our thoughts), subtle matter (tanmatras), samadhi (states of higher awareness), and the teaching of both evolution and involution of Indian cosmology - all of which were new to Westerners and essential for understanding the true import of Yoga. After the introductory chapters in Raja Yoga, Swami Vivekananda gave his translation and commentary on the actual sutras (aphoristic verses), drawing from both the Indian commentators and his own illumined and direct experience of Yoga in practice (concentration, meditation, samadhi), and full attainment (asamprajnata samadhi).
