Hatha yoga is founded by Saint Patanjali and not an Indian Hindu. When Saint Patanjali taught Hatha Yoga, the term "Hindu" was non-existent. "Hindu" is a term introduced by the Muslim (Persian & Moguls). They named India as Hindustan and its original and real name is Bharat. The Muslims used to apply the prefix ...stan to the name of some Muslim countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, etc.
Raja Yoga is not founded by any saints. Even though Swami Vivekananda did talk about it but it's only the Brahma Kumaris who is teaching it throughout the world.
Hatha yoga is done with eyes closed and Raja Yoga is done with eyes opened. Hatha yoga emphasizes on Postures and Breathing Control (Pranayama), whereas Raja Yoga don't. Hatha Yoga talks about awakening the Kundalini and Raja Yoga talks about awakening the self.
I do not think it is correct to say that Hatha Yoga was formed by the great sage Patanjali. He in fact formed Raja Yoga or Eight Limb or Eight Fold Yoga that includes Yamas, Niyamas,Asanas,Pranayamas,Pratyahara,Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi. Hatha Yoga was invented out of Patanjali's Raja Yoga. It can also be said that Raja Yoga of Patanjali includes all Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, Janana Yoga, & Hatha Yoga.
