“Kriya Yoga, in order to be wholly effective, must be received not only intellectually (in written or spoken form), but vibrationally, in the form of initiation.” — Essence of the Bhagavad Gita by Paramhansa Yogananda, as remembered by his disciple, Swami Kriyananda.
In Paramhansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi, we find the example of how Kriya Yoga was first introduced in this modern age. It was given through a sacred initiation. This tradition is carried on even today.
This is a spiritually transforming opportunity for Kriyabans who would like to refresh their vows, deepen their understanding of the techniques, and support others taking first-time initiations.
This morning’s initiation will be led by Kriyacharya Nayaswami Shanti Rubenstone, M.D.
