Babaji’s Kriya Yoga
A great Master of India, Babaji Nagaraj, revived the scientific art of perfect union and Self-Realization. It is a synthesis of ancient teachings of the 18 Siddha tradition and is taught in a series of initiation seminars. It consists of a progressive series of Kriya Yoga techniques which bring about an integrated development of the individual. The rich variety of techniques brings about a complete transformation of the sincere practitioner. It includes a series of techniques or “Kriyas” grouped into five phases or branches.
How can Babaji’s Kriya Yoga help?
Kriya Hatha Yoga
Babaji selected a particularly effective series of 18 postures “asanas,” physical postures of relaxation, “bandahs,” muscular locks, and “mudras,” psycho-physical gestures, all of which bring about greater health, peace and the awakening of the principal energy channels, “the nadis”, and centers, the “chakras.” One cares for the physical body not for its own sake but as a vehicle or temple of the Divine.
Kriya Kundalini Pranayama
is a powerful breathing technique to awaken one’s potential power and consciousness and to circulate it through the seven principal chakras between the base of the spine and the crown of the head. It awakens the latent faculties associated with the seven chakras and makes one a dynamo on all five planes of existence.
Kriya Dhyana Yoga:
is a progressive series of meditation techniques to learn the scientific art of mastering the mind – to cleanse the subconscious, to develop concentration, mental clarity and vision, to awaken the intellectual, intuitive and creative faculties, and to bring about the breathless state of communion with God, “Samadhi” and Self-Realization.
Kriya Mantra Yoga
the silent mental repetition of subtle sounds to awaken the intuition, the intellect and the chakras; the mantra becomes a substitute for the “I” – centered mental chatter and facilitates the accumulation of great amounts of energy. In due time, using the mantra also cleanses habitual subconscious tendencies.
Kriya Bhakti Yoga
Refers to the cultivation of the soul’s aspiration for the Divine. It includes devotional activities and service to awaken unconditional love and spiritual bliss. It includes chanting and singing, ceremonies, pilgrimages, and worship. Your activities and actions gradually become soaked with sweetness, as the “Beloved” is perceived in all.
Kriya Yoga
is “Action with Awareness”, a means of self-knowledge, of knowing the truth of our being. It incorporates “awareness” in the practice of asanas, pranayama, meditation, mantras. Furthermore, it’s practice also teaches us to incorporate awareness in all thoughts, words, dreams and desires, in all actions.
