"... The science of Kriya Yoga, mentioned so often in these pages, has become well known in modern India by Lahiri Mahasaya, Guru of my Guru. The Sanskrit verbal root of Kriya is Kry, do, act, react, and the same root is found in the word karma, the principle of cause and effect. Kriya Yoga therefore means "union" (yoga) with the Infinite through a certain action or rite (kriya). A yogi who follow closely the technique is gradually freed of karma, the chain of cause and effect and its balancing action. In obedience to certain ancient yogic rules I can not give a full explanation of Kriya Yoga in a book for the general public. The technique must be learned from a kriyaban or Kriya Yogi-authorized here will have a broad enough hint.
Kriya Yoga is a simple method by which the psycho-physical human blood is purified by carbon dioxide and oxygen Resaturated. The atoms of this surplus are transformed in the pattern of life to rejuvenate the brain and spinal centers. By stopping the accumulation of venous blood, the yogi can reduce or stop the wear and tear of tissues, a very advanced yogi transmutes his cells into pure energy. Elijah, Jesus, Kabir and other prophets were masters of using the Kriya or a similar technique, by which they could dematerialize their bodies at will.
Kriya is an ancient science. Lahiri Mahasaya received it from his guru Babaji, who rediscovered and elucidate perdutasi technique in the dark ages. Babaji Kriya Yoga simply renamed it.
".. The Kriya Yoga that I give to the world through you in this nineteenth century" - Babaji told Lahiri Mahasaya - "Is the same science that Krishna gave exhumed thousands of years ago to Arjuna, and which was later known to Patanjali and Christ, by St. John, St. Paul and other disciples .."
Krishna, the greatest prophet of India, refers to Kriya Yoga in two verses of the Bhagavad Gita: ".. If you enter inhaling breath in exhaling breath, and exhaling breath in the inhaling breath, the yogi neutralizes both these breaths; so, He subtracts prana to the heart and brings it under its control .. " This shall be interpreted as follows: - calming the lungs and heart, the yogi stops the decay of the body and also stops the alterations of cell growth by controlling apana (the current round). Thus neutralizing the wear and Development, the yogi acquires control of vital force. Another verse of the Gita says: ".. It becomes eternally free quell'esperto in meditation (muni) who, seeking the Supreme Goal, is able to withdraw from external phenomena by fixing the gaze between the eyebrows and neutralizing uniform currents of prana and apana in the nostrils and lungs, and to dominate the sensory mind and intellect, and set them free from want, fear and anger .. "
Krishna also refers (ibid., IV, 1-2) that it was he, in a previous incarnation, to communicate the indestructible yoga to an ancient illuminated Vivasvat, who passed Manu (author of manava Dharma Shastra or Laws of Manu: Building traditional canon law still in force today in India). These, in turn, instructed Ikshwaku, founder of India's solar warrior dynasty. Passing thus from one to another, the royal yoga was guarded by the rishis until the rising materialistic era.
Kriya Yoga is mentioned twice by the ancient sage Patanjali, foremost exponent of yoga, who wrote: ".. The Kriya Yoga consists of body discipline, mental control and meditation sull'AUM (Om, Amen). Patanjali speaks of God as the actual Cosmic Sound OM that is heard in meditation. Om is the Creative Word, the sound of the vibrator motors, the witness of the Divine Presence. Even one who begins to yoga often can soon feel in his heart to the wonderful sound of OM. Receiving this sublime spiritual encouragement, the devotee is assured of being really connected with the divine realms.
Patanjali refers a second time to life-support systems, or kriya technique, as follows: ".. The release can be achieved by that pranayama which can be reached by separating the process of inhaling and exhaling .."
St. Paul knew Kriya Yoga, or a very similar technique, with which he could enter or remove the vital currents in their senses. For this he could say: "I die every day. Yes, for the glory of you, that I have in Jesus Christ our Lord ... "With a method to concentrate on its internal life force throughout the body (which ordinarily is directed only outward, toward the world of the senses, thus giving the latter its apparent validity) Sao Paulo daily living a real union with the Yogic "glory" (bliss) of the Christ Consciousness. In this state of happiness he was aware of being dead to ' sensory trick of maya.
In the first stage of divine union (sabikalpa samadhi) the devotee's consciousness merges into the Cosmic Spirit, his life force is withdrawn from the body, which appears "dead", in other words, property and rigid. The yogi is fully aware of his state of suspended animation of the body. Progressing, however, to the highest spiritual stage (nirbikalpa samadhi), he communicates with God, without the fixity of the body and keep alive his normal consciousness, even in the midst of mundane activities and tasks.
".. Kriya Yoga is a tool through which human evolution can be rushed .." - Sri Yukteswar explained to his students. ".. The ancient yogis discovered that the secret of cosmic consciousness is intimately linked to mastery of the breath. This is the immortal and incomparable contribution that India has made to the wealth of knowledge of the world. The vital force that normally is absorbed by the task of supporting the beating of the heart, must be freed for higher activities, with the help of a method to quiet the incessant demands of breath .. "
" ... The Kriya Yogi mentally directs his life energy , by turning it up and down, around the six spinal centers (medullary plexuses, cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal) that correspond to the twelve astral signs of the zodiac, the symbolic Cosmic Man. Half-minute of Kriya equals one year of natural spiritual development.
The astral system of a human being, with six (twelve, due to polarity) inner constellations revolving around the sun of omniscient spiritual eye, is related to the physical sun and the twelve signs of the zodiac. All human beings suffer so the influence of an inner and an outer universe. The ancient rishis discovered that the soil environment and the celestial man pushes him forward in cycles of twelve years in its natural path. The scriptures say that man must be a million years of evolution to perfect the normal disease-free somatic his brain so as to express cosmic consciousness.
Mille kriya run in eight hours and half damage to the yogi, in one day, the equivalent of a thousand years of natural evolution 365,000 years of evolution in one year. In three years, a Kriya Yogi can thus obtain, with their intelligent effort, the same result which nature grants in a million years. Kriya means that the shortcut can be taken only by deeply developed yogis. With the guidance of a Guru, these chela (student spiritual disciples) have carefully prepared their bodies and their minds to be able to withstand the enormous power generated by the intensive practice of this technique. The beginner
Kriya Yogi is running the exercise only fourteen to twenty-four times, twice a day. Some yogis come to the liberation of six, twelve, twenty, or forty-eight years. A yogi who dies before reaching the full realization carries with him the good karma of the previous effort kriya, in new life will be pushed to the Goal Infinite.
The body of the common man is like a fifty-watt lamp, which can not support the billions of watts of energy raised by an excessive practice of Kriya. Through a gradual and smooth and easy "proven" methods of Kriya, the human body becomes astrally day by day, and eventually is able to support that potential infinity of cosmic energy which is the first physically active expression of Spirit.
Kriya Yoga has nothing in common with the unscientific breathing exercises taught by some zealous evils informed. Attempts to hold your breath for strength in the lungs are against nature, and also very unpleasant. Kriya is accompanied from the outset instead of restoring a sense of peace, and gives soothing sensation in the spine, producing a rejuvenating effect.
This ancient yogic technique converts the breath into mind stuff. With the spiritual evolution we become able to recognize the breath as a mental act: a breath of a dream. "
