sandeyeYoga Styles: Kriyâ-Yoga
March 3rd 2009 01:04
Stemming from Karma, Jnana, and Bhakti Yoga, Kriya Yoga emphasizes breathing and its mental-spiritual effects. It is a Yoga taught in the 'teacher-to-pupil' format and includes such matters as principles and appropriate lifestyle on the side. The actual practice involves guided meditation and pranayama aimed at establishing inner awareness and purity of mind through the use of energy control. Mantras and initiations are also involved.
The modern revival of these long-lost Indian techniques was brought about from 1861 onward by Mahavatar Babaji through Shri Shyamacharan Lahiri. The well-known book, Autobiography of a Yogi, tells of this matter in detail. Kriay Yoga reached the Western world in the 1920's, through Yogananda.
