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.

On 30th November 2008, Kriyabans of Sadguru Mangeshda Kriya Yoga Foundation held a Prayer Meeting at the Juhu centre to pray for those who lost their lives in recent terror attacks on Mumbai.
We are shocked the way the trigger-happy terrorists indiscriminately fired at innocent people, killed them and created havoc at the Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Nariman House, Hotels Taj and Oberoi etc. The loss of innocent lives in these mindless acts of brutal violence has deeply hurt us. Our heart goes out to the families of all the deceased, especially the staff of Hotel Taj and Hotel Oberoi and all those brave police officers, NSG commandos, who gave away their lives while doing their duty in order to save scores of innocent people trapped in this crisis. We salute the Police force and NSG Commandos for their heroic action in mitigating the situation. The need of the hour is to come together and do our best to help and support those who have suffered. Let us hope, at least now, concrete remedial security measures will be taken immediately.
