The sincere spiritual seeker who follows the path of Kriya Yoga with desire for spiritual growth, love, and devotion can attain Self-realization ? even within one lifetime. This powerful yoga stems from many yogas described in the Bhagavad Gita; but, primarily, from:
Karma Yoga ? actions of the soul which means both outer actions in the world and, more importantly, inner actions of the mind and detachment from the fruits of these actions
Jnana Yoga ? intellect discipline which leads to wisdom gained from the experience of spiritual knowledge that gives freedom and inner detachment from the fruits of actions
Bhakti Yoga ? unconditional love, awakened by gratitude and joy experienced from oneness with all creation and cosmic consciousness
Kriya Yoga is non-sectarian. Its simplified techniques cause no hardships or austerities and were developed for aspiring householders as well as for monks. From Karma Yoga, Kriya Yoga teaches any action, ?kri?, is done by ?ya?, the indwelling soul; work is worship. Constant awareness of the power of the indwelling soul inhaling leads to mind control and liberation.
The Kriya technique highlights the relationship between breath and mind. Breath influences mind and vice-versa. Their mutual relationship has revealed the mystery of how to control the mind. Breath control is self-control. Breath mastery is self mastery. Breathlessness stage is deathlessness stage that brings the state of samadhi, the realization of the Absolute.
