The Evolution of Kriya Yoga
Kriya Yoga is a process of
mental purification that teaches meditation through
techniques.
The fundamental belief of Kriya Yoga is that all of us are
miniature version of the whole cosmos, a microcosm or an
evolution of a new world within the microcosmic world.
The followers of Kriya yoga also believes that the most holy
supreme creator is a part of us hiding beneath our body, and
activating every action through the breath.
The name Kriya is meant as any work “kri” is being done by
the power of the indwelling soul “ya”.
The different cosmic forces controlling, air, fire, water
and earth also controls the different activities that we do,
namely, religious activities, relationship with everyone and
everything, food, pregnancy, and everything performed by the
human body.
Yoga on the other hand is the conjoining of these
correspondences between microcosms and macrocosms. It is the
full acceptance and belief behind the union and interaction of
the individual self and the supreme self.
The study and science of Kriya yoga has a divine origin and
was not created by human means and intellect.
The modernization for this ancient yoga meditation method
has begun in the 1860’s with Babaji and has been handed down to
the present Kriya yoga lineage of masters directly through the
Master to disciple method of teaching.
The disciplined path of Kriya Yoga consists of many
different kinds of teaching with different angles to it. One
looks at it as a process of beginning with self introspection
through breathing controls.
It is also believed in Kriya yoga that that by enlightening
the three qualities of light, vibration and sound
simultaneously with proper concentration, posture and breathing
through application of a series of techniques, a Kriya yoga
disciple is able to
penetrate the deepest levels of the unconscious mind.
Through this they can communicate with their inner gods and
obtain a fulfilling calmness within them.
The process of purification is attained through diligent
practice. The first thing to do is have the mind calmed and
freed from any internal chatter by developing the practice of
feeble breathing.
Then secondly the very process of observation of pulse
rhythm and vibrations in the body enables the seeker to extract
the bondage of subtle desires
A deeper understanding of the triple divine qualities leads
to a chiseled concentration or a focused mind, therefore
preparing the seeker to explore thoughtlessness and inner
truth.
All people are mired in the delusion and illusion due to the
duality of creation. We are seeking liberation from the
phenomenal suffering due to the miseries from ignorance, desire
and faulty actions. One should be able to realize that the
supreme creator is hiding within and as a self of all
beings.
Kriya Yoga provides us with the easiest ways to unfold this
lurking truth and unravel the deepest mysteries of godhood from
within us.
Kriya yoga teaches breath control and calmness and it aims
for well self realization within one lifetime.
Kriya yoga is a non-sectarian group and teaches that work is
worship and whatever you do is from and for the Supreme Being
and creator. It teaches about the different beliefs of the
origin, destiny and evolution of souls.
A Kriya Yoga disciple believes in direct and immediate
spiritual experience and is only taught through direct contact
with the teacher.
