Kriya Yoga is a scientific technique of meditation to help spiritual seekers attain Self-realisation, or to be in constant communion with God, Reality or Truth. Through this technique, the seeker or student can perceive the presence of God within, as well as in all creation. To attain this state requires the regular and sincere practice of Kriya meditation. A sincere spiritual seeker who follows the path of Kriya Yoga with love and devotion and a desire for spiritual growth can attain Self-realisation within a lifetime.
Kriya Yoga is a non-sectarian and simple technique that causes no hardship, requires no austerities, and suits ordinary people as well as members of any spiritual order. It is a quick and easy path which can be practised alongside one’s own religious or spiritual practice and will only serve to hasten spiritual development.
Kriya Yoga teaches that all action, kri, is done by the indwelling soul, ya. Continuous awareness of the power of the indwelling soul can transform all activity into worship. Awareness of the truth that it is the soul that is inhaling every breath leads to mind control and liberation. The Kriya technique emphasises the relationship between breath and mind. The breath influences the mind and vice-versa. This reciprocal relationship reveals the secret of controlling the mind: “Breath control is self-control. Breath mastery is self-mastery. Breathlessness is deathlessness.” The breathless state of samadhi corresponds with the realisation of the Absolute.
