Kriya Yoga Workshop Registration

 

This class will cover 14 weeks, beginning on March 1, 2010 and ending on May 31, 2010.     Lahiri Mahasaya taught Kriya Yoga to Hindus, Muslims, and Christians. Until age 33 he lived an ordinary worldly life. However, circumstances took him to the Himalayas, where he was able to kindle realizations in his previous lifetimes and where he experienced the bliss of Samadhi. His guru directed him to return to his worldly life to teach Kriya Yoga . . . thus, the beginnings of Kriya Yoga. Be sure to join us for a powerful meditation experience. You’ll be glad you did!

About Kriya Yoga by Roy Eugene Davis
The Sanskrit word kriya means "action." Yoga can mean the practices used to facilitate overall well-being and spiritual growth, or oneness-consciousness: the final result of practice. In Patanjali's yoga-sutras, a two thousand year old treatise on super conscious meditation, kriya yoga is defined as discipline of mental and sensory impulses, meditation, and surrender of ordinary self-consciousness (egoism) in favor of God-realization.

Although kriya yoga has been known and practiced for centuries, it was Roy Eugene Davis' guru, Paramahansa Yogananda, who first emphasized it in the west. Yogananda traveled from India to America in 1920 and lectured, wrote, and trained disciples for 32 years before his passing in 1952. His best known book, Autobiography of a Yogi, is now published in multiple languages around the world.
