Kriya Yoga
Kriya Yoga is a very specific system of yoga, which has survived to this day thanks to the works of Lahiri Mahasaya (born 1861). Yogananda denounced her to a wider audience through his book "Autobiography of a Yogi". This system consists of a number of yogic techniques that improve the spiritual development of practices and help him to achieve a deep state of calm and unity with God.
Yogananda writes that the practice of Kriya Yoga mentally directs his life energy to the circular motion up and down the six spinal centers (medulla, or medullary, cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) which correspond to the twelve signs of the zodiac that make up cosmic personality. Thirty seconds of motion energy sensitive to the vertebral column can move a man in his evolution. This thirty-second practice of Kriya Yoga is, the spiritual practices.
According to Yogananda's Kriya Yoga was well known in ancient India, but at some point lost due to the sacrament of the clergy and the indifference of ordinary people. History of Lahiri Mahasaya received initiation in Kriya Yoga of Babaji, the immortal yogi Mahavatar in 1861, recounted in "Autobiography of a Yogi". In describing that memorable meeting Yogananda said that Babaji told Lahiri Mahasaya: "Kriya Yoga, which I give you the world through the nineteenth century, today it is the same science that Krishna gave to Arjuna thousands of years ago, and which later became known to Patanjali and Christ" .
Quoting the words of Krishna Yogananda wrote that Kriya Yoga is a discipline of body, mental control and meditation on Aum. When he says, perhaps through the practice of pranayama, control of expiration and inspiration.
Kriya Yoga is a set of dynamic exercises. In fact, Kriya Yoga absorbed the techniques of Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga. Compilation of these techniques counterbalanced the task of harmonizing breath, the use of asanas, mudras and bandh (a variety of body positions and body parts) and the concentration of mind on the divine sound Aum.
Thanks Lahiri Mahasaya Kriya Yoga soon spread throughout India. Yogananda - disciple of Swami Sri Yukteswar, who, in turn, was a disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya, who later brought Kriya Yoga to the United States and Europe in the twentieth century. Since then it has spread around the world under the leadership of many gurus, many of which have positioned themselves as the descendants of Lahiri Mahasaya.
The best-known disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya were Swami Sri Yukteswar, Sri Panchanon Bhattacharya, Swami Pranabananda, Kebalananda Swami, Swami Keshabananda and Bhupendranat Shanval (Shanval Mahasaya).
