Greatest Science Of God Realization "Kriya Yoga":
 
One Step at a Time

When people come to yoga they want to learn everything immediately, but a considerate yoga teacher doesn't teach everything immediately. It has been our experience that many people have learnt different yogas, including Kriya Yoga, then because of lack of perfection have reached a point from which they cannot progress. So we have decided to teach the kriyas in stages, allowing people time to perfect or fully experience each stage.

Even if you study the traditional aspect of the kriyas, you will find that the practices have been divided into three groups: pratyahara kriyas, dharana kriyas and dhyana kriyas. It is advisable that you perfect the pratyahara kriyas and the dharana kriyas before attempting to move on to the advanced dhyana kriyas.

After all, what is Kriya Yoga? Kriya Yoga is not a group of practices which leads to an instantaneous awakening of the pranas and an instantaneous awakening of kundalini. No. In Kriya Yoga you will find combinations of asana, pranayama, concentration and visualisation.

The Subtle Dimensions of Personality
Now, in Kriya Yoga where many different components are combined, the result of awakening is experienced in the physical body, in the psychic body and in the pranic body. These are the three main bodies which are activated, awakened and stimulated in kriya practice. Yoga says that there are five different dimensions or koshas in the human body: annamaya kosha, the physical body or the body of matter; pranamaya kosha, the body of energy; manomaya kosha, the body of mind or mental experiences; vijnanamaya kosha, the body of cognitive faculties; anandamaya kosha, the body of bliss.


The physical practices of Hatha Yoga, asana and pranayama, influence and alter the performance of annamaya kosha. If we go deeper into the practices of mudra and bandha we find that pranayama kosha is stimulated. Then if we go deeper into the practices of Raja Yoga, pratyahara and dharana, we will find that manomaya kosha is activated. Vijnanmaya kosha is activated by the practices of dhyana.

In Kriya Yoga where we combine asanas, breath awareness, breath control, visualisations and willpower, we are approaching four different dimensions of our personality, excluding anandamaya kosha, at the same time. The awakening of the subtle dimensions of personality is not easy to handle. We can't handle the fear, anger, frustration and depression that we experience every day. Yet we still want to go deep into our consciousness, and think that we can handle the psychic changes that take place.


I think this is a great human misconception. If we can handle our anger, fear, frustration, jealousy and hatred, then we are ready for Kriya Yoga, otherwise not. When we don't have the ability to channel and direct the mental and
emotional forces which govern our life, how can we handle and direct the psychic awakening of which we have absolutely no concept right now?

We are taken by the beauty of the concept of chakra awakening. “Wow! It must be something great!” We are taken by the beauty of the concept of kundalini. “Wow! If kundalini awakens – fantastic!” I'm sure most mothers will agree with me that going through the experience of pregnancy was not in their minds when they decided to become mothers – they just wanted someone to care for! But nine months of pregnancy really makes them wonder whether it is all worthwhile. The same implies with Kriya Yoga.

Therefore, for your own sake, not mine because personally I don't care if you go crazy or remain sane, but because you have to remain sane, it is better that you practise the kriyas in stages. Perfect each state and when you are ready we will know you are ready. It is no use learning some of the practices here, and returning after a year of doing nothing to learn the rest of the practices. By looking at a person I can definitely tell whether or not he or she has been practising and what the level of progression has been. There are symptoms which manifest in the body, in the behaviour and in the attitude of a person who practises yoga. I can't tell you what they are because they are tricks of the trade.

Awakening of the pranas and chakras

With psychic awakening many things happen. The first level of awakening is known as pranotthana, and at this stage the dissipated pranas in the body become one and begin to flow in one direction. If the awakening is not handled properly, if the body, the brain and the mind are not ready, then the practitioner will experience a negative result, for example, loss of sleep and hyperactivity for an indefinite period of time which have to be managed with the practices of asana, pranayama, mudra and bandha.

When the pranas have become stable, the chakras awaken. Chakra awakening is the second stage and the hardest to handle. Prana deals with the realm of energy. But chakra awakening also changes the relevant part in the field of consciousness. Many people have experienced that with the awakening of mooladhara chakra, they become sexually very active, physically, mentally, emotionally and continuously. If this energy is not handled properly then the person can even become a rapist! Such a reaction is possible because the mind is not able to cope with the new form and perception of consciousness.

With the awakening of the chakras, negativity and positivity come to the surface and, as always, the negative forces are more powerful than the positive ones. Not powerful in the sense of strength, but because they cause extremes to manifest in the personality. Extremes don't manifest with the positive qualities because harmony is manifesting.

So, with the awakening of a chakra, a corresponding change also takes place in the consciousness, behaviour, vision, attitude and lifestyle of a person. When swadhisthana awakens, and if we are not able to handle that awakening properly, then insecurities and fears will be very strong, so much so that people can even try to commit suicide, because they are not able to adjust anywhere in the world. So, in each chakra there are both positive and negative qualities which must be handled very carefully, and under the direction of a competent teacher.
 
Maha Avtaar Babaji Kriya Yoga Gurus In the year 203 A. D. boy Nagaraj was born in what is now the seaport town of Porto Novo on the eastern coast of India.

Sayings Of Great Siddha - Maha Avtaar BabajiYour mind is a garden to you,which you may intelligently cultivate or which you may aimlessly allow to fallow. If no useful seeds are put into it, useless seeds or weeds fall therein, and produce their kind.You may make the garden of your mind a paradise by growing flowers and fruits of right and pure thoughts, conducive to the life of the truth, or a hell by allowing wrong and impure thoughts to grow more and more, a shortcut to perdition. You are yourself the master gardener of your soul. Don't imagine even for a moment, that any of your thoughts can be kept ineffectual. No, it cannot be.
