Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita (6.47)
And of all yogis, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself, and renders transcendental loving service to Me—he is the most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all. That is My opinion.
Bhagavad Gita is accepted by all great sages and its so easy to practice this Highest Yoga by following the path of Bhakti Yoga.
So It should be understood that Raja yoga (the King Yoga) in this age is included in Bhakti Yoga (Devotion to Krishna) and this is stressed in Kalisantaran upanishad that the only way to Yoga (Union with God) in this age of Kali is by chanting the Name of God as in Bhakti Yoga.

The "Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali" expound this ancient yoga. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at Artofliving.org. H.H. Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi at Humanityinunity.org. Raja means Royal and to know thyself is the aim of Raja Yoga. The first Sutra states - "NOW" is the practice of yoga. Being in the NOW, free of the modalities of the mind, IS Raja Yoga.
