Kriya Yoga- A Path of Self Believing

The word KRIYA means activity or movement – activity or movement of awareness or consciousness. It also means practical or preliminary action.

In contrast to other forms of Yoga, Kriya Yoga does not ask you to curb your mental fluctuations but asks you to purposely create activity in your consciousness. In this way, mental faculties are harmonised and flower to their fullest potential and coordination is brought about between the nervous system and the brain.

There are no restrictions or barriers to those who want to practise Kriya Yoga. Your religion, age, social- status, diet does not bar you from practising Kriya Yoga. According to me Kriya Yoga is an ideal method for the man of today. Only the important requirement of successful practice of Kriya Yoga is correct preparation and constant touch with ‘Guru’ who understands, rectifies your mistakes and guides you for the proper practice of Kriya.

Kriyaban Melava – 1st May 2012

Click here to view photo gallery

1st May & 2nd October is always special for all us Kriyabaans. It’s a family get-together in the divine & auspicious presence of our Head Of The Family – Sadguruji. Sadguruji was in super flow as usual & we felt that the Melawa should just go on and on and on.

The day becomes special because we get to meet lot many Guru Bandhus & Bhaginis. Many of them travel from far off places. It was amazing to listen to the sharings of Sunil Haku, Mahesh Kalan and Jitendra Kore. Sunil Haku shared his recent health experience and concluded that “This is new life for me & this life is dedicated to You, Guruji. And I am joining Sandeep Yederi very soon.”

Jitendra Kore remarked that his family was telling him to rest at home as he had just met with an accident and his one hand was fractured. But he told that he wanted to meet his people & and he cant just sit at home. Hence he got up at 3.30 am and reached Melawa in time. Mahesh Kalan was overwhelmed with Sadguruji’s visit to Alibaug & to his own place and remarked that he wanted blessings from Guruji to continue his work for the homeless children. All these were superb sharings.

Sadguruji started the session by taking us to the Era of Mahabharat where Lord Krishna told Bhagwad Geeta to Arjuna. And then He just stressed that you keep on doing actions & rest will follow. He also asked everyone whether everyone was following the 5 alertness which were told at Kriya Yoga initiation & re-iterated that alertness of the mind is greater than any of the mantras. All the Kriyabaans then performed Asans under Sadguruji’s guidance. He also guided all for Pranayaam Techniques.

Through various cliipings & photos, all the activities of the Foundation during the period Oct 2011 to May 2012 were projected. Sandeep Yederi was also congratulated for his decision of leaving the Corporate World & dedicating himself totally for the Foundation & its activities.

And what can we see about Sadguruji’s commitment? Just a day before, our dear Mahima was operated and she was having throat infection & fever. But Sadguruji, as per his commitment was there and the session started right on time. An apt example of Sadguruji leading from the front. Practically implementing his own teachings!

The entire day was so wonderful that I am sure all present have charged up their batteries. When we have programs like this, I feel that perhas a day was not of mere 24 hours & it was much more.

Kudos to the organisers for putting up a good show. Thank You Sadguruji for giving us a blissful day and teaching us lot many things with your unique way of teaching.

On 7^th April, 2012, Param Pujya Sadguruji and organisers of our Hyderabad Centre visited the Childrens Home ‘Aadarna’, in Saroor Nagar, Hyderabad. ‘Aadarna’ is Home for Children from the age group of 6 to 20 years. Sadguruji and the visiting team were accorded a very warm welcome by the children and Shri Madhava Rao. After that, Sadguruji was requested to perform a puja for the building which is being constructed to house all the Children.

Shri Madhava Rao informed Sadguruji that three students who were part of ‘Aadarna’ have excelled in their studies and have now become engineers. They have continued their association with Aadarna. They help and guide children in various ways. One girl is doing her B.Tech course. Mr. Madhava Rao was very happy to inform Sadguruji that the children are doing well in their studies.

Sadguruji in his short and sweet Pravachan said that no one is orphan in this world when God is with them. With self confidence and determination, everyone can shape one’s own destiny. He narrated to them about his own childhood experience and how he developed himself with faith and confidence in himself. He taught them some Pranayams and techniques to improve their health & concentration. All the children listened to Him with great interest and enthusiasm.

Sadguruji declared his support to them in their journey towards self development and directed the Hyderabad center organisers, Shri Ravindra and Usha Duvvuri, to teach these children Yoga on regular basis, so that they can live healthy and stress free life.

Sadguruji distributed Sweets and various stationery items required by the children. The children displayed their talents by singing some melodious songs.

Kudos to the Hyderabad team for all their efforts.

He also added saying that He does not believe in any caste and creed & believes only in Humanity. He shared the memories of His childhood with the children and said that the negative atmosphere around, made Him a strong & self sufficient person.

Further, Sadguruji & few members of the Foundation gave valuable information about the different career prospects which the children can opt for.

Sadguruji being the Karate Champion Himself, gave some valuable inputs to all the children practicing Karate. This ensured all present that the children, there, are highly talented in different fields. Many of the Children without any formal training are very good artistes who have won plenty of Awards.

Revered Sadguruji concluded the session with melodious bhajan which was greatly enjoyed by the Children. All the Children were given Gifts ( New Dress Material ) & Sweets. The Foundation also gave a donation to SAMPARC as a token of love & appreciation to the Children for their welfare & with the promise to all that it was just a beginning of a long journey along with them.

Thank You Sadguruji from the bottom of the heart as You once again took all of us in a different world & enriched our Life. It was a Sunday which will stay in our hearts for time to come.

Annual Foundation Sports Day – 2012

Click here to view photos

The 2012 Annual Foundation Sports Day was organized by Sadguru Mangeshda Kriya Yoga Foundation on 4th Mar 2012, at the Holy Family School Ground, Andheri, Mumbai. All the members of the foundation, their families and friends, including Sadguruji, enthusiastically celebrated the day by showing their participation in the various games.

There were cricket matches organized and four teams participated fiercely for the coveted “Ekta” Trophy. The entire audience was involved either via ladies cheer-leading, or cheer-leading music or the encouragement shown to the teams; it never ended. In the end, after a spirited participation from all the teams, the “Shama” team led by its captain, Shri Dipak Kumbhar lifted the coveted trophy.

One normally assumes that “Sports Day” is meant only for the youngsters. But in this foundation, that’s not the case. Here, everybody is expected to participate and to ensure that, there are special games organized to engage each and every person. And accordingly, every one, right from the kindergarten kid to the senior citizens present at the venue took part in the games and demonstrated their level of enthusiasm.

As Sadguruji always says, the progress in spirituality of an individual can be directly measured by ones enthusiasm. The sports day was one such direct demonstration of the high level of energy in a group.Things did not end here. The various Upasana centers made sure that there was enough food for everyone.

The purpose of this event was to bring out the sporting spirit amongst everyone and apply the same in society. A special thanks to Sadguruji for conceptualizing such an event. Kudos to the organizing committee for organising and managing the entire event to minute details. Hari Om!

Kriya Yoga Residential Camp (24-26th Feb 2012)

Click here to view photos

From 24th to 26th Feb 2012, a Residential Kriya Yoga camp was organised by our Foundation, for Kriyabans initiated by Sadguru Yogiraj Sri Sri Mangeshda, at Sadguru Mangeshda Kriya Villa, near Khopoli. The ambience was perfect.

The camp was an intense session where we got a concentrated capsule of techniques to be assimilated, imbibed and practised for our accelerated progress on Kriya Path. The emphasis of this camp was on “Detailing of Kriya Yoga, Awareness & Alertness.”

Participants practised Asanas and Kriya under Sadguruji’s supervision. He also solved difficulties and replied to queries of different participants. Participants learnt how to break one’s thought-process so that they get mastery over their thoughts, increase their concentration, stop wasting their energy in unnecessary thinking and increase alertness. With the help of certain Kriya Yoga techniques, participants were taught to increase their intuition level, feel their own energy, preserve it and increase it.

There were different techniques to increase intensity and focus, which helps one go deeper in meditation. With some of the meditations, participants felt so light that it was an extraordinary experience for them. Participants also learnt Vipassana.

The entire programme of two days was very interesting and full of useful hints and tips. All the participants were fully engrossed and involved in the proceedings. There were lively interactions. The energy level was very high and all felt rejuvenated and charged.

We are really extremely lucky to get such personal guidance from our revered Sadguruji. His method of teaching with emphasis on experience and practicability is fantastic. No words can express the depth of our feeling of gratitude for our Sadguruji.

Hari Om!
