Kriya Yoga is a simple psycophisiologic
method, by which the human blood descarbonizates and turns
to oxygenate. The atoms of this extra-oxygen transmute- in
vital current to rejuvenate the brain and the centers of the
spine. Stopping the accumulation of veined blood, the yogi
can decrease or avoid the degeneration of the fabrics. The
advanced yogi transmute their cells in energy. Elias, Jesus,
Kabir and other prophets were, in the past, masters in the
use of Kriya or of a similar technique, for the which they
materialized or their desmaterialized comfortable bodies.
Kriya is a very old science. Láhiri Mahásaya
received it from his great guru, Babají, that rediscovered
and it purified this technique after the Medium Age, time
in that it was lost. Babají baptized it again, simply,
Kriya Yoga.
Kriya Yoga is an instrument that can accelerate the human
evolution - it explained Sri Yukteswar to his students. -
The old yogis discovered that the secret of the cosmic conscience
links intimately to the domain of the breathing. This is the
nonpareil contribution, and immortal, of the Indian, to the
treasure of knowledge of the world. The vital force, that
is commonly used to maintain the heart pulsation, it should
be used for superior activities through a method that calms
and deteriorate the incessant demands of the breathing.
Kriya Yogi drives its vital energy mentally upward and down,
in order to rotate around the six spinal centers (medular
plexus ,cervical, number, lumbar, sacred and coccígeal),
corresponding to the twelve astral signs of the Zodiac, the
symbolic Cosmic Man. Half minute of revolution of the energy
around of the sensitive string of the spine, makes subtle
progresses in the man's evolution; that half minute of Kriya
the is equal a year of common development.
Kriya Yoga has nothing in common with anti-scientific breathing
exercises taught by certain fanatic ones. Attempts of keeping
the breathing in the lungs, until the exaggeration, are artificial
and with determination unpleasant, The practice of Kriya,
to the opposite, it is accompanied, since the beginning, by
peace feelings and mellow sensations, of regenerating effect
in the spine.
By this old technique yogi converts the breathing in mental
substance. The spiritual progress allows to the devotee to
know the breathing as a concept, an action of the mind: it
is, therefore, a dream breathing.
With proper food, solar light and harmonious thought, men
that are let to guide just by the Nature and her divine plan,
will reach the experience of God in a million years. Twelve
years of healthy normal life are needed for occuring the lightest
refinement in the structure of the brain; a million solar
years are necessary until purifying the cerebral lodging enough
so that can be manifest the cosmic conscience. A Kriya Yogi,
however, for the exercise of this spiritual science, doesn't
need a long period of careful observance of the natural laws.
Kriya Yoga is the true “rite of the fire”, a lot
of times exalted in Gíta. The yogi throws his human
longings in a monoteíst fire of consecrated incomparable
God. In this authentic ceremony of the fire, all of the last
desires and presents are the fuel consumed by the divine love.
The Last Flame receives in holocaust the last human madness
and the man sees himself free from scums. Their robbed metaphorical
bones of every sensual meat, his cármi cskeleton whitened
by the antiseptic suns of the wisdom, without offenses to
the man and the Creator, he finds himself finally clean.

Autobiography of A Yogi, chapter 26 |
Message of the Guru:
I don't "want to give any other proof of the truth not
to be leaning in the personal experience. The more somebody
practices her [Kriya Yoga technique] with patience and regularity,
so much more it feels, intense and demoradamente, that is
fixed in the Blessedness or God.
"Due to the persistence of bad habits, the conscience
of the corporal existence, with all their memories, it relives
occasionally and combat that peacefulness. If, however, any
one to practice this method regularly and for lingering periods,
he/she can be the sure that, in time, he/she will be in high
state supramental of Blessedness.
We didn't "owe, though, with exaggeration, to imagine
the possible results in advance what this process can drive
and, then, to stop practicing her/it after short attempt.
To do real progress, they are necessary the following factors:
first, dedicated attention to the subject that will be learned;
as, the desire to learn and a serious spirit of investigation;
third, firmness until the objective colimado to be reached.
"If we just work partially and after a limited practice
she interrupted, the longed for result won't come. A neophyte
in spiritual practices, that it tries to prejudge the experience
of the experts - the masters and prophets of all of the times
- he/she resembles each other to the child that tries to imagine
the one that resemble each other the masters degree courses.
It is "great feather that the men spend his/her time
and their best efforts to get what is necessary to the mundane
existence, or in intellectual controversies concerning theories.
It seems that you/they rarely think to be worth the feather
to notice and patiently to try in the life the truths that
not only they vivify, as well as they check significance to
the existence. Efforts badly guided arrest those people's
attention during more time than the initiatives well driven.
"I am practicing the method mentioned by many years and,
the more I practice him/it, so much more I feel the happiness
of a state of permanent and certain" Blessedness.
