Learn Kriya Yoga Meditation for Beginners

Paramahansa Yogananda expounds the benefits of those who practice Kriya Yoga meditation as part of their daily ritual in his book: The Autobiography of a Yogi. This deeply spiritual book invokes awe at his faith in surrendering his life to the “unknown”. It overwhelms you with the desire to surrender to a higher source and simultaneously sows a seed of incomparable desire to meditate and transcend the trivialities of this monotonous life. 

The gifts received by dedicated practitioners of kriya yoga meditation referenced in his book are highly intriguing. Is it really possible to read other people’s thoughts? Can we broadcast a message directly to someone in answer to a question we received from them via our bodily antennas? Can we materialize our bodies in multiple places at once?

 This book inspires you to meditate, deeply meditate with a yearning to merge with the cosmic energy, and to live a surrendered life, as all the answers that you are seeking are already in existence, you just need to “tune” into their frequencies.

Traditionally these kriya yoga techniques are not taught to disciples still engaged in worldly life but are reserved to be passed on to those who have renounced everyday life to live with and be trained by their guru.  

However, Kriya Yoga can be studied online or via distance learning through the Self-Realization Fellowship which was founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920. The sign up process was easy and the course is affordable. No prior training is required. Meditation for beginners is incorporated in the course.

For kriya yoga distance learning, the lessons arrived in the mail. They were easy to understand with clear instructions on how to successfully complete each lesson. There is a required period of studying and practicing before you can be initiated into Kriya Yoga.
