The Loving Teachings of Kriya Yoga
Kriya Yoga is an ancient method of living and meditation that cultivates body, mind, intellect, and awareness of the soul using powerful meditative and yogic disciplines. It helps us to experience the three divine spiritual qualities of light, vibration, and sound by using techniques of concentration, posture and breathing. This develops a one-pointed mind, which enables us to penetrate the deepest levels of consciousness and to change our lives. Kriya Yoga teaches that any action, kri, is done by ya, the indwelling soul. It is an universal spiritual discipline that crosses all divisions and boundaries.
In 1861, the immortal Mahavatar Babaji reintroduced Kriya Yoga. From his long, unbroken lineage came Paramahamsa Hariharananda (1907-2002), a great saint, filled with love and purity. He attained the highest goal of a realized yogi, nirvikalpa samadhi, a conscious, breathless and pulseless state beyond physical limitations. A disciple of Swami Shri Yukteshwar and Paramahamsa Yogananda, Paramahamsa Hariharananda spread Kriya Yoga to the East and West.
Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, his successor, continues his mission.
