The History of Kriya Yoga

Kriya yoga is a form of yoga that is specifically taught by lineages of Lahiri Mahasaya. Lahiri Mahasaya claims that he has revived this form of yoga which was initially lost in the older days. Today, many disciples and descendants of Lahiri Mahayasay are teaching Kriya yoga all over the world. This form of yoga focuses on controlling our life force through our spine and trying to help individuals deal with self realization.

Kriya yoga was supposed to be widely practiced in ancient India but was soon lost in time when citizens had more and more things to do and the priests became less forthright with the ways of the yoga. In the year 1861, Kahiri Mahasaya received initiation to the ways of the Kriya yoga through Mahavatar Babaji who was the immortal yogi.

As the immortal yogi gave the initiation to Lahiri Mahsaya. He was said to have confirmed that the form of yoga he is teaching Lahiri Mahasaya is the very same form of yoga that was given by Krishna to Arjuna and was later spread far and wide.

The Principles of Kriya Yoga

The system of Kriya yoga is supposed to bring the believers spiritual development to fore and bring about a state of peace, tranquility and openness to God. The system also brings you control of your life force and self realization.

The actions or movements that an individual performs during the yoga are all centered to bring the person release from obstruction blocking both the mind and the body. Kriya yoga includes mantras and various meditation techniques that enhance self control and exerts control over your body and mind.

There are several techniques included with Kriya yoga and these are preparing the mind and the body, the practice of mantras, controlling the life force, initiation, control over self, and self-realization. In preparing the body some basic stretching and bending are used while in preparing the mind believers of Kriya yoga are taught laws of general conduct and good behavior. The practice of mantra helps to teach the seeker how to use mantras to achieve what they seek.

Controlling the essence of life force, initiation, self control and self realization are all techniques that help to release oneself from the shackles of our mind and body. The Kriya yoga can help a person achieve control over energy flow, and helps us center on our spine as the source of our life force.
