Everyone who wishes to practise Kriya Yoga receives initiation into its authentic techniques directly from the Master Paramahamsa Prajnanananda or from Teachers authorised by him. The techniques are not passed on through online lessons or correspondence courses.
Upcoming seminarsThose who wish to receive initiation are encouraged to become familiar with the teachings of the Masters. A good place to start is reading “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahamsa Yogananda or watching lectures by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda on the international Kriya Yoga channel.
Initiation is an ancient tradition that precedes and prepares for the practice of Kriya Yoga meditation.
It begins with the purification of the spine and the body.
Each person is initiated individually by the Teacher, and so learns to perceive the inner light of the soul, hear the divine sound and experience the divine vibration throughout the body. The Teacher chants sacred mantras, the meaning of which is translated into Polish.
The disciple learns basic techniques that calm the mind and make it possible to perceive the Divine revealed through its three aspects: sound, light and vibration.
Next comes a short fire ceremony during which further purification takes place, this time on a subtler level.
Finally the disciple offers the gifts they have brought, which symbolise the results of their past actions, the senses and the ego.
After the ceremony the techniques of Kriya Yoga meditation are passed on, so that the disciple can practise on their own at home.
