This is not your ordinary Kriya book! It includes all the techniques from several different main-line Kriya schools, including the 144 Kriyas of Babaji, the full 6 steps of Lahiri's Kriya, the 1930's version of Swami Yogananda's Kriya and other lineages. Every piece of material that could possibly assist in helping you maximize results from your Kriya practice is in this workbook. This material has been carefully crafted to protect anonymous sources and to respect all copyrights. It is, essentially, a synthesis of every possible concept or technique, which will help you understand Kriya yoga as never before.
All the material used here has been meticulously arranged into lessons with step-by-step instructions, including quotes from Lahiri Mahasaya, which have been freshly translated into an easy-to-understand style. New graphics have also been devised to better help explain the techniques. In addition to exacting instruction in various Kriya techniques, the book also discusses the theory and philosophy of Shyama Charan Lahiri, in order to help you get to the core of the Kriya yoga philosophy. From beginning to end, it was written in order to help you break free from anything hindering your Kriya practice.
The book was written and published based on the re-translated and researched original teachings of Lahiri Mahasaya, student of Babaji, guru to Sri Yukteswar and Paramahansa Yogananda. As many Kriya practitioners are aware, there are several "schools of thought" about the techniques of Kriya--this book (it seems) provides the most thorough and true-to-original-intent versions, now made available to the public. No guru, teacher, school or organization is deemed sole gatekeeper with this revealing. Instead, the lessons are given freely for each follower to practice in their own way and at his or her own speed - regardless of religious, organizational, or other association. (Also, some interesting stories and commentaries, and suggested daily routines--all compatible with the householder lifestyle.)
A well researched book solely based on Lahri Mahasaya and it includes other schools of kriya yoga as well. I have just read it and now in next phase I will practice it so my rating is at present on the book read and not on practice as this is a work book and it needs to be worked upon.
This workbook beats ancient Tibetan transcendental meditation guides and that's saying something. For the first time I can safely say, I'm well on my way to perfect enlightenment.
