Get away from this world; not by flying away to a cave in the Himalayas, but to the cave of your mind, where you are free of the body and of the world. Practice Kriya Yoga, and you will surely succeed on the spiritual path. That is my own experience. The liberating power of Kriya Yoga sunders the prison bars of karma. -Paramhansa Yogananda
NOTE: Kriyaban meditations are sacred gatherings exclusively for those already initiated into the transformative practice of Kriya Yoga.
These sessions provide a powerful opportunity to deepen your sadhana. When we mix with other Kriyabans and meditate together, we are lifted spiritually, far more than we could be on our own. In the company of our gurubais, we find fresh inspiration, encouragement, and incentive to go deeper in our individual practice of Kriya Yoga. Master called this the “invisible law of magnetic exchange,” essential for our spiritual growth.
