and the undying suns here burn.

The Kriya Yoga Course is a study and practice of the inner tradition of Kriya Yoga. It is a pathway to wisdom — a mature, self-directed inquiry into the nature of you, your life, and the universe in which you dwell. It is a system for awakening a direct experience of Reality which expands the horizon of your awareness and cultivates greater joy and freedom.
The purpose of this program is to impart the philosophy and methodology of Kriya Yoga and to teach you to utilize the system here and now to improve your life. Its goal is to bring greater clarity of purpose and meaning to your life, to bless you with the strength and insight to be a blessing to others, to nourish and heal your mind and body, to soften your karma, and to assist you in the attainment of your spiritual goals.
Embodied within this system is a mystical psychology which offers a profound recognition of how you create, sustain, and can dissolve the circumstances of your life (karma).
Kriya is a gentle, skillful, balanced approach to life — a way of conscious and creative living. It is a methodology of self-reliance, self-discipline, and self-inquiry. Kriya Yoga belongs to all times, all places and all persons. Through the study of universal principles, and the faithful practice of specific spiritual techniques, you will experience a transformation in consciousness which will enrich your life on every level.
The prerequisite for the Kriya Yoga course is successful completion of the Center’s three session course in Healing Breathwork. Graduates of The Art of Living Course are also eligible to apply. The Kriya Yoga course meets once a month for two to three hours for 8 months. Persons interested in Kriya Yoga initiation are referred to authorized Kriya lineages by Karuna Mata.
