Sat Nam All,

 

I have two different manuals, Owner's Manual for the Human Body and The

Aquarian Teacher Level One Training Manual, with slightly different

instructions for the Laya Yoga Meditation at the end of Awakening

Yourself to your Ten Bodies.

 

One states the following: Ek Ong Kar-a, Sat(a) Nam-a, Siri Wah-a Hay

Guru, with the instructions to pull Mulbhand at each underlined ah

sound.

 

The other has these directions: Ek Ong Kar-a, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma-a, Siri

Wha-a Hay Guru, with the instructions to pull the navel on Ek, lift

diaphragm on each of the underlined ah sounds and to relax the navel

and abdomen on Hay Guru.

 

There are a different type and number of 'pulls' with each version.

Are both correct? I feel the difference between the two, but neither

feels particularly more effective than the other. Both are marvelous.

 

I appreciate anyone's input.

 

Its a grand day!

There is an interesting drift of terminology in the usage of the various masters of Kundalini Yoga. The expression "breath of fire" seems to denote the tantric yoga kriya Candali (gTum-Mo in Tibetan) which is fundamental to the Six Yogas of Padmasambhava.

 

But Teresa's account is of a technique closer to what Sw. Gitananda Giri taught as bastrika, a preparatory kriya. Pieter then describes a set of Kundalini Yoga kriyas known to me, again, by a different name - rather similar to the Bengali Laya Yoga kriyas taught by Sw. Gitananda and imparted to him by Sw. Kanakananda Brighu.

 

Different yet again is Sw. Rama's description of Laya Yoga. He outlines a kind of Nada Anusadhana more akin to Shabda procedures with their Anahata sounds than to Laya Yoga in either its vaidika or tantrika form, which both require vivid visualization and highly developed mastery of pranayama.

 

All of these techniques are valid and valuable. It is the variety of names they have acquired that I find so remarkable.

 

Namaskara

namaste,

kindly let me know the 6bengali kriyas which i would want to practice.

Namaste,

I would like to practice the 6 laya yoga kriyas enumerated by dr.Gitananda.Can you kindly help me out.

Vintner,

 

I have been attempting to learn the Bengali Laya Yoga kriyas taught by Sw. Gitananda and imparted to him by Sw. Kanakananda Brighu for a very long time. However, I cannot find anywhere or anyone from whom I can do so; do you have any advice on this? Perhaps you would detail them yourself, or point out how they differ from the kundalini kriyas described by Pieter?

 

Adam.

Namaste,

I had the exact query and interest to learn the same.

If you have found the answer please let me know.
