Kriya yoga is a mix of Karma, Jnana and Bhakti yoga styles combined in a very complex form. The word kriya means to make an effort or to transform. Kriya yoga was introduced to the modern world by master Lahiri Mahasaya during the 19th century. Nevertheless, Kriya yoga is, according to some scriptures, much older than that. It is said to appear in the Bhagavad-Gita which is considered to be more than 3000 years old. The practice of Kriya yoga demands a daily program of self-discipline of the mind and the body, and, most important than everything, a devotion to God. In order for a student to learn how to do this technique, a very well prepared trainer, an initiated Guru is needed.
from:Kriya yoga has changed the lives of some people looking for a deeper, more spiritual relationship with their selves. This style of yoga is kundalini oriented, and it is a meditation technique which teaches a series of esoteric principles. Nevertheless, it also preaches the fact that one’s power lies outside of oneself, that one needs a guru, or master, to access this innate spiritual life. There are several aims in Kriya yoga, among which the elimination of the barriers between mind and body.
The three yoga styles at the base of Kriya yoga are very important for its understanding. Thus, karma yoga focuses on the movement of the soul between inside and outside of the mind; jnana yoga stresses the wisdom, allowing the mind to be free; bhakti yoga centers on love, and how it allows one to come to terms with everything around oneself. The combination of these three principles aims at purifying the mind and the soul. As a result, Kriya yoga practitioners believe they can achieve self-fulfillment this way rather than follow other disciplines.
There are a few steps to be followed in preparation for Kriya yoga practice. First of all, the body needs to be ready, and Hatha yoga exercises are integrated in the practice for this very purpose. Then, one has to prepare the mind. Mantras are taught in Kkriya yoga techniques in order to deepen the meditative experience. One of the stanzas in the Bhagavad-Gita states the fact that the aim of one who practices Kriya yoga is to look for and, hopefully, reach the Supreme Goal (Samahdi), by withdrawing from the external phenomena, by controlling one’s sensory mind and intellect, and by banishing desire, fear and anger.
