What Is Kriya Yoga?
"30 seconds of Kriya is equivalent to one year of natural spiritual unfoldment."
- Paramhansa Yogananda
Kriya Yoga is an ancient meditation technique that focuses on energy and breath control (pranayama). It is a timeless scientific method for working with the life force to bring greater stillness, intuition, and inner joy. Enlightened sages have taught it for thousands of years.
Patanjali mentions it in his Sutras, and Krishna mentions it in the Bhagavad Gita. Kriya works by giving the practitioner control of the life force. Through life-force control, the yogi can overcome all obstacles that prevent union with the divine.
The Kriya technique was kept secret for many centuries. It was revived in 1861, when the great yogi Mahavatar Babaji taught the technique to his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya. Lahiri then taught the technique to his disciple Sri Yukteswar, who taught it to his disciples, including Paramhansa Yogananda.
Yogananda then popularized Kriya Yoga through his book Autobiography of a Yogi and through his public teaching in the West. Kriya has been taught in an unbroken link of spiritual succession to this day.
This session will help you understand the purpose, benefits and the power of Kriya Yoga. You can then begin your journey of learning Kriya Yoga through the courses offered at Ananda Sangha.
