Publisher's Synopsis
Kriya Yoga is an ancient science which has been practiced for thousands of years. Lord Krishna bestowed it upon Arjuna .It was reintroduced by Lahiri Mahasaya due to the divine blessings of Mahavtar Babaji to hasten the spiritual growth of spiritual seekers in the dark age of Kali Yuga.It is always best to learn from a traditional Guru parampara(an unbroken lineage of spiritual masters). Reading from books is good for satisfying intellectual curiosity but real practice can only be established by Guru's grace and guidance .I always wanted to write a book which has references from scriptures discussing the intricacies of Kriya Yoga . I hope this book will introduce you to the mysteries of kriya yoga and the scriptural basis for this divine yogic modality .Various techniques of Kriya Yoga are described in this book.If you pray sincerely to Mahavtar Babaji, guidance will definitely come . Let us begin by invoking the Guru's grace.Guru Brahma - Guru is Brahma, who is the Lord of Creation, also called as Generator, Guru Vishnu means Guru is Vishnu (Vishnu is the Lord who is called organizer), Guru Devo Maheshwarah means Guru is the Maheshwara (Shiva or the destroyer), Guru Sakshat Parabrahma means Parbrahma viz. the supreme god or almighty.Since Guru leads to a path of light, Guru is that Para Brahma. Tasmai Shree Guruve Namah means we bow to that Guru the guru referred to earlier. Thus, as a realized soul, Guru is the embodiment of Para Brahma, the ultimate Godhead.
