Paramahamsa Yogananda teaches Kriya Yoga which was rediscovered by Lahiri Mahasaya in 19th century. Main problem with Kriya Yoga is, everyone says my kriya is original taught by Lahiri Mahasaya; hence we more Kriya masters than Kriya disciples.
#Yoga #spirituality Image
Sadhguru’s technique is somewhat relatable to Kriya Yoga as both use focusing on the third eye whereas TM and AOL practices are against such things.
#Yoga #spirituality Image
However, it should be noted that the grandmaster of Kriya Yoga, Lahiri Mahasaya himself was against building any organizations or turning people into monks.
#Yoga #spirituality Image
So, it’s hard to believe that what he taught as original kriya is same that Yogananda teaches as he has many techniques in kriya yoga for western audiences. Lahiri Mahasaya was a householder yogi and always told his disciples to marry and continue the Kriya.
#Yoga #spirituality Image
There are very few authentic lineages of Kriya Yoga left that can be traced to Lahiri Mahasaya. Bhattacharya and Chatterjee’s family are two such lineages left.

Kriya Yoga’s main goal is to attain Nirvikalpa Samadhi by focusing on spine & clearing blockages, breaking three granthis, doing Kechari & having a personal Guru-Disciple relationship which other 4 organizations don’t talk about and hence is not comparable.
#Yoga #spirituality Image
I know I haven’t talked much about the techniques and that’s because they are supposed to be kept secret and hence I have given just the general idea without getting into the depth.

If someone wants to learn Tantra then how to go about it?
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism #spirituality Image
Tantra is system; to learn the system you must first understand it. People curious about tantra think that if a white or saffron-robe wearing, old guy gives them a mantra then after some practice they’ll also start performing magic.
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism #spirituality Image
The western system educated souls think that by chanting a mantra or doing this kriya or that mudra with closed eyes, they’ll one fine day open their eyes and witness their enlightened selves. I encounter both kind of seekers every day.

Chakra 5 Vishuddhi
#Yoga #Kundalini #spirituality

Vishuddhi chakra is 'purification center'. Sanskrit word shuddhi means to purify; in this chakra the purifying a harmonizing of all opposites takes place. Vishuddhi is also known as 'nectar & poison center'.
#Yoga #Kundalini Image
Here, the nectar which drips down from bindu is said to be split into the pure form and the poison. The poison is discarded and the pure nectar then nourishes the body, ensuring excellent health and longevity.
#Yoga #Kundalini #spirituality Image
Vishuddhi represents a state of openness in which life is regarded as the provider of experiences that lead to greater understanding. One ceases to continually avoid the unpleasant aspects of life and seek the pleasant. #Yoga #Kundalini #spirituality Image

What is the secret behind the different Hindu yantras?
#vedicastrology #astrology Image
Everything in the universe is consciousness intertwined with energy. What is true for the earthly dimension is also true for Divine dimensions. The different deities that are worshipped in Hinduism are not flesh and blood people like us.
#vedicastrology #astrology Image
They are experienced as Divine energies by sadhaks (experienced meditators) who meditate deeply upon them and merge their consciousness with their chosen deity. In a way, that person himself becomes a vehicle for that particular Divine energy.

Did Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa or Swami Vivekananda ever see God while meditating?

Whether it’s while meditating or not meditating, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa or Swami Vivekananda never saw anything other than God.
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism #spirituality Image
Once Sri Ramakrishna closed his eyes to meditate. But the very next he moment, he opened his eyes and muttered to himself, “Does God exist only when I close my eyes? Does He not exist when my eyes are open?”
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism #spirituality Image
Young Narendranath (future Swami Vivekananda) once asked Sri Ramakrishna to grant him his request, “Sir, I want to remain in Samadhi all the time, 3–4 days at a stretch, only coming back to the body consciousness for the sake of food.”
