The Origins of Kriya Yoga

Kriya Yoga is an immortal yogic science that was resurrected in 1861 by the immortal avatar Babaji Maharaj. It was given to one of his disciples Lahiri Mahasaya to propagate to the world. It was lost during the dark ages save to certain monks in the Himalayas. The science was then brought to the west in the 1920’s by the legendary spiritual and kriya yoga master, Paramahansa Yogananda. Yogananda states in a book written by Swami Kriyananda, one of Yogananda’s direct disciples that Kriya was sent to the west at the behest of Jesus Christ himself, who asked Babaji to send it to the west so that Christian followers would finally be able to commune with God within themselves. This, in part, is the prophecy of the comforter from the Bible being fulfilled. Kriya yoga is one of the fastest, most direct paths to realizing God in one’s life. Here, one need not believe in God any longer, as one can directly experience and know God within oneself. By Justin Vanderwende
