Divine alchemy of Kriya Yoga

 

Untie the cord of breath that binds the soul to the bodily cage

 

Yogiraj Siddhanath

 

The divine alchemy of Kundalini Kriya Yoga to hasten the evolution

of the self-soul exercises a double action; the upward breath of Prana

expands soul consciousness and the downward breath of Apana burns the

seeds of past karmas before they ripen into fruit.

 

In the Bhagvad Gita (Ch V Verse 27-28), Yogavatar Krishna says, " The

meditation expert (muni) becomes eternally free from external

phenomenon by concentrating his gaze between the eyebrow; and by

neutralising the uneven currents of Prana and Apana flowing within the

nostrils. Such a yogi transforms his sensory mind, his intellect and

frees himself from the karma of fear, anger and desire. "

 

There are two main currents in the body. One is that of Prana which

flows from the coccyx to the point between the eyebrows. The nature of

this current is soothing.

 

It introverts the practitioner's attention during sleep and wakeful

state, and in meditation unites the soul with the spirit in the third

ventricle of the brain called the Shivanetra- third eye. The other

current is that of Apana which flows from the third eye to the coccyx.

 

This extroverted downward flowing current distributes itself through

the coccyx centre to the motor-sensory nerves. This keeps mans

consciousness delusively tied to the body. The Apana current is

restless and engrosses man in sensory experiences.

 

Kriya Yoga is a process of converting breath into life-force and

realising the body as light. This pranayama arrests bodily decay

connected with Apana, manifest in the exhaled breath, by fresh

inhalations of life-force (Prana) distilled from the inhaled breath.

In the practice of Kriya Yoga the will and imagination of the

practitioner transmutes the oxygen of breath into life energy and

blends it into the spiritual currents of the spine. As one inhales and

exhales continuously according to the prescribed method, oxygen is

quickly converted into life energy that recharges the entire body,

especially the blood and the lungs with vital sustenance.

 

Due to the circulation of Prana and Apana, up and down the spine,

positive and negative poles are established on the opposite sides of

the hollow spinal tube, between the Agya Chakra and the Muladhar. The

magnetic pull between the two poles brings the actual circulation of

the Sushumna current, and awakens the subtle layers of the Kundalini.

 

Such must be the absorption that with every inhalation one becomes the

cool ascending breath word of Prana, transmuting the atoms of oxygen

into life energy in the spine. And with every exhalation one becomes

the warm descending breath word of Apana burning carbon-dioxide and

the venous blood.

 

This movement of Prana enables the practitioner to do away with the

illusion of decay and mutation; who then realises the body to be made

of lifetrons of congealed light. The body of the Kriya Yogi is

recharged with extra energy distilled from the breath and energised by

the tremendous dynamo of energy generated in the spine, the decay of

body tissues decreases.

 

This ultimately makes unnecessary the blood cleansing functions of the

heart. The heart pump becomes quiet owing to the non-pumping of venous

blood and exhalation and inhalation of breath are evened out. The life

energy unites in the currents in the spine.

 

The light of pure Prana scintillates from the six chakras to all the

bodily cells keeping them in a spiritually magnetised condition.

 

Kriya Yoga teaches man to untie the cord of breath that binds the soul

to the bodily cage. Thus releasing the soul to fly and expand into the

super conscious skies of omnipresent spirit and come back at will into

the little body cage.

 

No flight of fancy this but a true experience of divinity. In the

shadow of words may Kriya Yoga be dimly perceived, but more

beautifully, in the light of its living may it be expressed. Kriya

Yoga is a way of life and much more. It is the divine alchemy, which

transforms the mind and merges it into the ineffable presence of the

SELF who dwells within all of us. Whether we call this presence

Krishna, Christ, Shiva, Buddha or Allah is a question of mere dialect.

The essential fact is becoming the Presence, becoming the peace that

passes all understanding.
