Original Kriya Yoga

Countless Kriya Yogis tracing their lineage back to Lahiri Mahasaya have continued to disseminate the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga to new disciples, in India and in the West. Through a combination of mis-communication and intentional alteration, however, most of what is taught as Kriya Yoga today is far from what was originally taught, often to the detriment of sincere practitioners. In this short, but practical and experiential guide, Sri Mukherjee reveals the techniques of Kriya Yoga, as originally taught by Lahiri Mahasaya. Sri Mukherjee is the disciple of Sri Gyanendranath Mukhopadhyay (Mukherjee) who compiled the Pranab Gita from the teachings of his Guru, Swami Pranabanandaji. Swami Pranabanandaji is well known as the main disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya, and so what is made available here has not been altered through the distorting effect of formal organizations (which Mahasaya and Pranabanandaji both eschewed), but has been kept intact through the age-old method of direct guru-to-disciple transmission. Fearing the loss of the original Kriya Yoga as taught by Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Mukherjee has generously written this book in order to record and share this most valuable of all human knowledge.

Countless Kriya Yogis, tracing their lineage back to Lahiri Mahasaya, have continued to disseminate the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga to new disciples in India and in the West. Through a combination of miscommunication and intentional alternations, however, much of what is taught as Kriya Yoga today is far from what was originally taught, often to the detriment of sincere practitioners. In this short, practical, and experiential guide, Sri Mukherjee reveals some key points of the original Kriya Yoga, as taught by Lahiri Mahasaya to his disciple Swami Pranabananda, which was passed down to Sri Mukherjee.What is made available here has not been altered through the distorting effects of formal organizations (which Lahiri Mahasaya and Swami Pranabananda both eschewed), but comes through guru-to-disciple transmissions.

This book, along with other volumes by Sri Mukherjee, explains Kriya Yoga and builds on the website at www.originalkriyayoga.com.

Tracing their lineage back to Lahiri Mahasaya, countless Kriya Yogis have continued to disseminate the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga to new disciples, in India, and, in the West. Through a combination of miscommunications and intentional alternations, however, much of what is taught as Kriya Yoga today is far from what was originally taught, often to the detriment of sincere practitioners. Changes to the original Kriya teachings have become so widespread and so embedded in popular culture that many seekers, having become acquainted with these mistaken notions about Kriya Yoga, can scare believe the teachings of the original Kriya Yoga when they first have an opportunity to encounter them. Fortunately, there is a remedy; and that is, the regular practice of the pranayam in this original Kriya Yoga will lead inevitably to the realization of these truths. I warn you, however, not to expect progress in the beginning, because both to practice pranayam correctly and to focus correctly on the ajna chakra (between the eyebrows) at the same time takes considerable practice and patience. Without succeeding in both of these endeavors nothing will be achieved. These are essential factors in one's kriya success. What is made available here has not been altered through the distorting effects of formal organizations (which Lahiri Mahasaya and Swami Pranabananda both eschewed), but through guru-to-disciple transmission. Fearing the loss of the original Kriya Yoga as taught by Lahiri Mahasaya, I have written these short volumes on Kriya Yoga in order to record and to share this most valuable of all human knowledge.Additional information about the author and initiation can be obtained at http://originalkriya.com.

When Heidi Wyder was traveling the world and arrived in Varanasi, India, she decided it was the perfect spot to dabble in a bit of yoga. The young novitiate had no inkling that this casual step to get in shape was the launch of a transformative, lifelong spiritual journey. Kriya Yoga: Four Spiritual Masters and a Beginner shares her remarkable immersion in an extremely powerful practice that leads to inner peace and supreme bliss. Logging her progress with the original Kriya Yoga, Wyder's fascinating and uplifting account takes spiritual seekers everywhere on a captivating voyage along the ancient and much sought-after yoga path known in India as the “Holy Grail.” The book does this by recounting the extraordinary and miraculous lives of the renowned spiritual master Lahiri Mahasaya, his son Tinkori Lahiri, and his grandson Satya Charan Lahiri, who passed the authority to teach others to his most advanced disciple, “Guruji” Prakash Shankar Vyas. As she explores questions surrounding prayer, meditation, healing, levitation, and the meaning of life, Wyder presents Guruji's logical and authoritative answers. Kriya Yoga now enables others to access the authentic and scientific Kriya Yoga, and further their own personal quest towards self-discovery and peace of mind.
