Real Yoga

Sri Swami Purohit belongs to the same spiritual tradition as Paramahansa Yogananda, the Giri Tradition. In his book, Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda describes the science of Kriya Yoga: "The Sanskrit root of Kriya is kri, to do, to act and react; the same root is found in the word karma, the natural principle of cause and effect. Kriya Yoga is thus ‘union (yoga) with the infinite through a certain action or rite.’ A yogi who faithfully follows its technique is gradually freed from karma or the universal chain of causation.[...] Kriya Yoga is a simple, psychophysiological method by which the human blood is decarbonized and recharged with oxygen. The atoms of this extra of this extra oxygen are transmuted into life current to rejuvenate the brain and spinal centres. By stopping the accumulation of venous blood, the yogi is able to lessen or prevent the decay of tissues; the advanced yogi transmutes his cells into pure energy. Elijah, Jesus, Kabir and other prophets were past masters in the use of kriya or a similar technique, by which they caused their bodies to dematerialise at will. Kriya is an ancient science. Lahiri Mahasaya received it from his guru, Babaji, who rediscovered and clarified the technique after it had been lost in the Dark Ages. ‘The Kriya Yoga which I am giving to the world through you in the nineteenth century’ Babaji told Lahiri Mahasaya, ‘is a revival of the same science which Krishna gave, millenniums ago, to Arjuna, and which was later known to Patanjali, and to Christ, St.John, St.Paul and other disciples.’" The practice of Kriya Yoga requires a strong body, mind, and emotional capacity. Therefore, the first part of the course has been divided into 3 different modules, each with a duration of 6 months. The second part will dedicate a year to developing a personalized practice and a lifetime spiritual development plan for each student.

‘THE SCIENCE OF PRANA AND KAYAKALPA’ In this module you will learn special asanas (poses) for the spinal cord, the advanced version of the Sun Salutation exercise, and yoga for the astral body.
