Kriya Yoga.....An Invitation to God, Happiness and Health.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

Eternal Bliss team is being run by some Yogi Friends for promoting

Kriya Yoga. Kriya Yoga is today practised by millions of people all

over the globe.

 

Let's understand what it is.....

 

The Sanskrit word kriya means " action. " Yoga can mean the practice

of procedures to facilitate overall well-being and spiritual growth,

or it can mean wholeness: the final result of spiritual practice. In

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, a two thousand year old treatise on

superconscious meditation, kriya yoga is defined as: disciplined

regulation of mental and sensory impulses, self analysis, study of

metaphysics, meditation, and surrender of self consciousness

(egoism) in favor of God-realization.

 

Kriya yoga is a concentrated approach to Self-discovery and

spiritual enlightenment: awakening to full knowledge of the Infinite

and of cosmic processes. It includes the most effective processes of

all systems of yoga, with emphasis on wholesome, constructive living

and superconscious meditation practice. Superconscious states are

clear, refined states of consciousness superior to ordinary waking

states and subconscious and unconscious states. The purpose of kriya

yoga practice is to restore the practitioner's awareness to

wholeness. This is accomplished by acquiring knowledge of one's true

nature as a spiritual being; cultivating rational thinking,

emotional balance, and physical health; purposeful living; and

meditation.

 

To facilitate the unfoldment of innate qualities and elicit

superconscious states, specific meditation techniques are taught and

practiced. Beginning meditators are usually taught how to pray

effectively and how to use a simple word or sound (mantra) to focus

attention. After a period of preparatory study and practice,

initiation into advanced meditation processes can be requested.

 

Although kriya yoga has been known and practiced for centuries, it

was Paramahansa Yogananda, who first taught it in the west.

Yogananda traveled from India to America in 1920 and lectured,

wrote, and trained disciples for 32 years before his passing in

1952. His best known book, Autobiography of a Yogi, is now published

in 17 languages around the world.
