Synopsis Maha Yoga is the Direct Method of finding the Truth of Ourselves. It has nothing in common with what is commonly known as ‘Yoga’, being quite simple –free from mysteries –because it is concerned with the utter Truth of our Being. Maha Yoga frees its followers from its beliefs, not to blind him with new beliefs, but to enable him to pursue with success the Quest of the True Self, which transcends the creeds. Maha Yoga has been described as a process of unlearning. Its follower has to unlearn all his knowledge, because, being in relativity, it is ignorance, and therefore a hindrance. This true is the subject-matter of the Upanishadfs. The Truth to be found by this Yoga is eternal, and needs Yoga assumes that the Truth can be told only by a living Teacher and not by the Upanishads themselves. The author has taken the Sage of Arunacvhala, Bhagvan Sri Ramana’s teachings as the primary authority for setting forth the concepts of Maha Yoga.
