An excerpt from a letter by Durga
The realization of Divinity, of Babaji, is a Presence experienced in the heart. And as the initiate grows in spiritual understanding and experience, his true nature unfolds, and consciousness expands. We Kriyabans seek to recognize our own True Nature, which is unconditional love, and dynamic creative energy.
The Presence of Kriya Babaji is what sincere students of Kriya Yoga can attune to quite easily. It does take time and sincerity, but those small seeds when nurtured through practice, will take root; and so will begin the magic of transformation. Transformation happens gently but obviously to oneself and to others.
“There is only one Guru in Kriya Yoga, and that is Babaji” - Yogi S.A.A. Ramaiah
Babaji’s Kriya Yoga is not fanciful, nor does it aim at the attainment of superhuman faculties or psychic powers, nor immortality. It is a scientific art of self-control that evolves with experience of the practices. Direct experience develops trust and faith in the path, once one realizes that he or she is growing free of old perceived limitations and freed from old conditioning, old behaviors, and over-emotionality. One’s creativity and love widen.
One of the most important gifts that a teacher of Babaji’s Kriya Yoga can help each student attain, is that of developing trust and faith in, and love for, their practice of Kriya Yoga, and trust in their own inner guidance. Through the techniques students can come to recognize their own inner guru, who is, and has been guiding them on their journey in this life.
The Teachings and practice of the techniques deliver understanding of why we do certain techniques, and how the techniques work to deliver their effectiveness. Practice of the integrated systems of techniques stimulate the gentle shaktipat, the awakening of the prana kundalini, and the unfolding consciousness.
The Kriya Kundalini Pranayama is potent in this process, but the asana, meditations, mantras, and devotion prepare and then accelerate the process.
The realization of Divinity, of Babaji, is a Presence experienced in the heart.
And as the initiate grows in spiritual understanding and experience, his true nature unfolds, and consciousness expands. We Kriyabans seek to recognize our own True Nature, which is unconditional love, and dynamic creative energy.
