One can get detachment from the desires by correctly practising this Kriya Pranayam. Unless one perfects the Kriya Pranayam Uttam pranayam , it is not possible to have deep and subtle spiritual understanding. To attain this stage of perfection in Kriya Pranayam , one has to practice Kriya Yoga day after day, month after month, year after year.

For this one should have patience and faith. Once one attains the stage of perfect Kriya Pranayam , it is very easy to finish the left over spiritual journey. For this, at beginning it is required to practice with patience. Then one attains the stage of total bliss and forgets the mundane past. I have seen that after taking Kriya initiation many people starts practising Kriya for initial few months with full zeal and enthusiasm. But when initially they do not gain any spiritual feeling or vision, they lose interest, leave Kriya practice, and start living in the usual worldly way.

But they should remember that for gaining success in any work, perseverance and patience is required. One cannot attain spiritual enlightenment by mere magic. What is this Nishkam Karma? It means to practice Kriya correctly as instructed by the Guru without worrying about the result.

Results will surely come, but, at first, perseverance, patience, and faith are required. By practicing in this way, Kriya in the Six Chakras will end by piercing the knot of Ajna chakra and Kriya of devotion Bhakti and knowledge Gyana will start in the Sahasrar. Kriya Yoga should be learned directly from a Guru. For this reason, it is called a Gurumukhi Vidya.

This means the knowledge that one should get directly from the mouth of a Guru. One should not try to practice this by reading books. It is dangerous. So, first of all get Kriya initiation from an authentic Guru Satguru , understand the techniques properly, and start practicing it. In Kriya Yoga there is no need to use worldly things like incense stick, flowers, leaves, conch, bell etc. Rather a Kriya Yogi only uses his own body, Life-force Prana , mind and mantra. Because this Sadhana is totally based on inner spiritual world, there is no relation with the external world.

The mind is scattered in the outside world. The technique by which the mind enters the inner spiritual world with the help of subtle Life-force is called Kriya Yoga. The way of taking it from external world to the inner spiritual world is described in the next chapter.

Direct perception of inner vision and spiritual feeling will start. It is very easy to reach the goal. If one practices correctly, he or she can attain salvation in present birth or by next birth.

But attaining salvation with Mantra Yoga is a delayed process. In Mantra Yoga , one gets direct inner vision and spiritual feeling very late or one may not even get it. In Kali Yuga present materialistic era is called Kali Yuga , the life span of human being is very limited. Hence I feel, practicing Kriya Yoga is the best for rapid spiritual progress and for attaining salvation.

Why should we practice Kriya Yoga? One should practice Kriya Yoga to be free once for all from the recurring pain of birth and death. More over everybody is suffering from worldly pain in this limited life span. On the one hand, God with the help of the veil Maya and attraction toward materialistic world moha : forgetting the nature of true self , has created bondage for human beings to become imprisoned in this world of birth and death.

On the other hand, He has given the way to become free from this. He has given intellect and logical mind to human beings to decide which way to choose.

If you do not come out of worldly attraction now, when will you do so? For the sake of momentary joy, man forgets everlasting joy and bliss. Time and tide wait for no one. So, let us not waste time further, and let us move towards salvation.

The amount of Kriya done in this present birth will be stored for the next. The efforts in Kriya Yoga are never wasted. Otherwise one has to move empty handed to the unknown and dark world of death. Lord Sri Krishna uttered the following in Srimad Bhagavad Gita : "nehavikramanasti pratyabayo na bidyate salpamapasya dharma trayate mahato vayat" So, a little practice of this Kriya Yoga , makes one free from the great fear of death.

Both the states of birth and death are very painful and horrifying. Before birth, a baby stays in the mother's womb in a very uncomfortable position.

The state of death is further painful, because on one side he feels the pain of leaving the worldly things and his relations behind.

He succumbs to breath, but cannot breathe. Moreover, after death he enters in the state of total darkness where he cannot understand his own condition. If one practices Kriya Yoga correctly, and does not attain salvation in this birth, he will again get Kriya Yoga in the next birth and attain very easily the stages achieved in this birth. Then, he has only to cover the remaining part. Siddhartha left his kingdom and luxurious life after seeing the suffering that resulted from aging, illness, death etc.

He submerged himself in deep Sadhana , thereby attaining Nirvana and became Gautama Buddha. He realised that one day he would face these sufferings, so he lost all attachment toward worldly pleasures. He forgot his past and started doing Yoga Sadhana with new enthusiasm and zeal.

The state of the mind can be classified into five stages. The first state of mind is the state of insanity, or state of craziness, where it fails to understand its own condition or surroundings. In this state, the mind gets filled with such types of thought patterns that even the normal mind cannot dream of. Swami Vivekananda went through this phase and mentioned it in one of his books. The second state is the state of total restlessness where it swings from one worldly object to another.

In the third state, the mind is sometime restless, and also sometimes it tries to concentrate to remain in a static state.

Since in this stage it also touches the static phase even for a few moments, Divine realisation starts from this point. The fourth state of mind is the stage of concentrated mind where it becomes fixed to a particular spiritual object or chakra. The fifth stage of mind is the stage of Samadhi where the mind loses its distinct and independent existence entity and merges into total bliss. Actual spiritual realisation begins from the third stage, because in this stage mind remains in the static state for few moments.

The state of restless mind is actual vice, and state of static mind is virtue. Hence please step towards the static state. Surely you will feel blessings Kripa. Even the common man can attain the state of a great Sadhaka as a result of Sadhana carried out in several births and attain the stage of eternal bliss Brahmananda. Hence, we should follow the path of such great people and practice as advised by them. But be careful about one thing, when you advance in the path of Kriya Yoga, whatever spiritual vision or feeling you obtain, even by mistake, you should never disclose it to anybody other than your Guru.

Many occult powers Vibhuti will come to you, but you should not accept those. All your spiritual Sadhana will have been in vain. All these are given by God only. He tests the Sadhaka with these to see whether Sadhaka really seeks God or occult powers. If you want these occult powers, you can earn name and fame in society; you will earn lots of money, too. This will lead to an increase in pride and arrogance and lead you to the path of ruin. Be careful, otherwise you will spoil your state before and after death.

So, be careful. Do your Sadhana behind closed doors. Nobody should be able to know what you are doing. One thing should be known to those who are afraid of ghosts and spirits. When one practices Kriya , no ghost or spirit can enter within yards of your circumference.

So if you see or feel anything fearful during Kriya practice, perceive it to be spiritual only. You need not be afraid of spirits or ghosts. Sometime in the beginning, during Kriya practice it is felt that the room has been covered with good odour of incense stick, or flower, as felt in temple.

All these things happen as the Sadhaka enters the subtle spiritual field. Revered Babaji Maharaja who is alive still today and whose age is approximately years gave this great Sadhana to his dearest disciple revered Yogiraj Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahaysaya to show the path of spiritual enlightenment to the householders of the present materialistic age. The book Pranab Gita was written by my Gurudeb based on his spiritual enlightenment and on the light of the spiritual advice from my great Gurudeb Pranabananda Paramhansa.

There are eight steps in Yoga Sadhana i. Then Sadhaka merges into the Eternal Truth and becomes the one Samadhi. Though these steps are common in both Kriya Yoga and Raja Yoga , there are some differences too.

From Patravali of Lahiri Mahasaya Garland of Letters we find that he has written to one of his disciples that "Everything is achievable with the first kriya. Parabastha and Divine intoxication, everything is there in first Kriya. Nowadays, some people have started doing business in India and the West in the name of Kriya Yoga and in the name of "Original Kriya Yoga", too.

To show their superiority over others, they have added many unnecessary and difficult techniques to this simple Kriya Yoga.

So, I request the readers not to fall into such business traps. The first Kriya includes Asana sitting in correct posture , Pranayam Kriya for control of Life-force , Yonimudra , Mahamudra and Parabastha Pratyahar - withdrawal of mind from outer senses.

By practicing this, one reaches the stage of Dharana , Dhyana and Samadhi. Everything comes automatically. The only requirement is love towards God, devotion, and practicing Kriya correctly.

Diksha is the most important aspect of sadhana! It is like the second birth of Sadhak in the spiritual world. Without diksha or initiation from a satguru, the kriyas discussed here simply holds no power! Diksha is like a seed, and the daily sadhana of these kriyas is like water.

Both diksha and sadhana work together for spiritual growth of the sadhak. Initiation is not just the revealing of techniques of kriya. There is more to it. It is the transfer of the spark of light from one soul to another, and connects the sadhak with the lineage of Sri Lahiri Baba, Swami Pranabananda Giri, and Sri Gyanendra Nath baba.

It is never done in masses or public or online! It establishes a unbreakable bond between Guru and disciple. Without diksha , sadhana is useless. So, first, one has to practice the Kriya using the six energy centres in the spine Shat Chakra.

Then one pierces the chakras one by one and at last pierces the Ajna chakra. This marks the end of Kriya practice in the six energy centres of the spine. All these things happen with Kriya Yoga. Before writing how Kriya Yoga should be practiced, it is required to clearly understand the relation between the Life-force Prana , mind Mana , intellect Budhhi , individual spirit Jivatma and the eternal spirit Parmatma. If inhaling and exhaling becomes frequent and uncontrolled, the mind becomes restless.

Lost in God The nature of Bulleh Shah's realization led to such a profound egolessness and non-concern for social convention that it has been the source of many popular comical stories -- calling to mind stories of St. Francis or Ramakrishna. For example, one day Bulleh Shah saw a young woman eagerly waiting for her husband to return home.

Seeing how, in her anticipation, she braided her hair, Bulleh Shah deeply identified with the devoted way she prepared herself for her beloved. Mouth of Guru O brother, my heart yearns for that true Guru, who fills the cup of true love, and drinks of it himself, and offers it then to me.

Load More. It picks up where Volume I left off, and explains more in-depth practices and advanced stages of Kriya. Countless Kriya Yogis tracing their lineage back to Lahiri Mahasaya have continued to disseminate the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga to new disciples, in India and in the West. Through a combination of mis-communication and intentional alteration, however, most of what is taught as Kriya Yoga today is far from what was originally taught, often to the detriment of sincere practitioners.

In this short, but practical and experiential guide, Sri Mukherjee reveals the techniques of Kriya Yoga, as originally taught by Lahiri Mahasaya. Swami Pranabanandaji is well known as the main disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya, and so what is made available here has not been altered through the distorting effect of formal organizations which Mahasaya and Pranabanandaji both eschewed , but has been kept intact through the age-old method of direct guru-to-disciple transmission.
