Kriya Yoga and the Nature of the Journey
Exploring Kriya Yoga
Kriya Yoga offers a unique approach for those seeking a deeper spiritual connection. With its roots in kundalini yoga and meditation, it also incorporates spiritual and esoteric principles. However, it suggests that spiritual power comes through a 'guru' or 'master,' which can be a point of contention for those valuing self-reliance.
The Goals of Kriya Yoga
Kriya Yoga aims to remove "obstructions" from the mind and body, a concept that varies from person to person. This perspective highlights the importance of maintaining individual sovereignty over one's mind and actions.
Origins and Development
Brought to the West by Yogananda in the 1920s, Kriya Yoga was introduced as a holistic system through the Self-Realization Fellowship. It combines three core yoga techniques:
- Karma Yoga: Focuses on the soul's journey beyond the mind.
- Jnana Yoga: Emphasizes wisdom and mental freedom.
- Bhakti Yoga: Centers on love and acceptance.
Together, they aim to "purify" the mind and soul, offering a quicker path to self-realization compared to following each discipline separately.
Preparing for Kriya Yoga
Preparation involves both the body and mind. Many practitioners use Hatha Yoga to ready their bodies, while alternatives exist for those less flexible. Mental preparation is equally crucial, focusing on wellness, purity, and metaphysical principles. These practices set the stage for techniques that refine the brain and nervous system using the body's life force.
The Role of Mantras
Mantras play a significant role in Kriya Yoga, believed to enhance the meditative experience. This "sound technology" tunes the body, much like a tuning fork. The key question remains: What frequency are we tuning into?
Whose Journey Is It?
Ultimately, the journey of self-realization in Kriya Yoga is deeply personal. While it resonates with many, embracing transparency and personal autonomy may lead others to explore different paths.
