Description

Kriya Yoga: A System of Spiritual Practice For centuries, Kriya Yoga was reserved for ascetics and saints who lived in isolation from society. This highly esteemed system was believed to offer profound spiritual attainments, but only to those deemed worthy by its early masters. To prevent the system from being misused or distorted, these masters imposed strict controls on its dissemination. The tradition of Kriya Yoga remained relatively untouched for many years, with sound teachings becoming watered down and corrupted through indiscriminate sharing. However, in 1861, a significant turning point occurred when Shyama Charan Lahiri was initiated into the system by his Guru. Lahiri Mahasaya's kindness and compassion towards others led to him being allowed to initiate deserving individuals, including householders, into the secrets of Kriya. This book presents an overview of Kriya Yoga, a system that has been passed down through generations and continues to be practiced today.
