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.
