<strong>Shree</strong> Digambardas <strong>Maharaj</strong> later passed on the responsibility of this tradition to<br />
<strong>Shree</strong> Ashok Joshi, alias <strong>Shree</strong> Kaka <strong>Maharaj</strong>.<br />
The Swaroop Sampradaya follows the path of ‘Rajyog’, a simple and easy mode<br />
of abstract meditation and not that of ‘Hath Yog’ that is a mode of austere devotion.<br />
One can accomplish the ‘RajYog’ by living in this illusive world and conducting normal<br />
household duties. Even King Janaka 289 had attained ‘Rajyog’. One can continue with the<br />
feelings of sacrifice internally, while maintaining worldly relationships with external<br />
society, but strictly without any attachments. To achieve such detachment is possible<br />
but not easy. <strong>Shree</strong> Digambardas <strong>Maharaj</strong> has versed –<br />
“Internally with feelings of Sacrifice and worldly relationship externally (l)<br />
You can still maintain yourself without any attachments (ll)”.<br />
289 King Janaka: King of Mithila, father of Goddess Sita, the devoted wife of Lord Rama<br />
