kriya yoga thoughts

[Guest guest]

namasteji Dom,

 

kriya is about self effort, its root shares a tie with root of word karma...thus

kriya means sorta' spiritual action made with intent....neither kriya nor

enlightenment can be given, it is about self overcoming self...yes initiations

and blessings and darshan and shatipat, etc. can be given, but are they

maintained...a 'boon'  or lifting up of another is tricky business for the

ultimate yoga posture/asan is maha asan where you are independant by

self....self independance...don't worry about not getting anything from

another...not that its not possible, its just that kriya is a wisdom path not a

bhatki path...its about self-responsibility...yet, only once one is

self-responsibile can one help another...can't give what one does not have...ego

wants, yet kriya yoga and all wisdom paths are about getting rid of

desires/needs...be self fullfilled !!! satisfy your souls eternal quest and just

go in to the reality unchanging...everything out here in

solar/manifest realm is in change...truth can never change...find the part of

you which never changes (atma/sprit/etc.) and you will know reality...the

kingdom is within (only).

things are never as they appear, nor commonly as believed...neither have much to

do with reality.

 

shanti,   swami p....tim

Re: Kriya yoga

 

 

 

Thank you Richard and all other respondents,

 

This is the thing that bothers me. I have checked a couple of groups offering

kriya yoga tutoring, and usually it

takes some time to receive the initiation. I don't necessarily have problems

with that - they usually have a set of exercises

and meditations to go thru and I see it as a good way of deepening my daily

practice.

The problem is the best known " schools " are not available were I live, so I

would have to take a home study course, and

given my zero experience in yoga I don't know how effective it would be.

 

Then there is this initiation aspect. Could anyone shed some light as what it

is? A type of shaktipat maybe?

 

Many thanks,

Dom
