Kriya Yoga Spiritual Tradition
Kriya Yoga is dedicated to the universal higher path to Self-realisation. The teachings and practices of Kriya Yoga are universal and practical, and are based on the principles of Self-realisation.These teachings were brought to the Western world in the last century by Paramhansa Yogananda (1893-1952), the widely revered author of the spiritual yoga classic, 'Autobiography of A Yogi.' For more than thirty years, Paramhansa Yogananda lived and taught the ancient science and philosophy of Kriya Yoga in the West. He helped people of all races and creeds to deepen their spiritual awareness, and to find true joy and happiness through knowing and realising God.
'Self-realisation is the knowing in body, mind, and soul that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God's omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.' - Paramhansa Yogananda
