Kriya Yoga is defined by its practitioners as the ancient Yoga technique revived in modern times by Mahavatar Babaji through his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya.
The Kriya yoga system consists of a number of levels of pranayama (breathing exercises), mantra, and mudra (hand gesture) based on techniques intended to rapidly accelerate spiritual development and engender a deep state of tranquility and God-communion.
The technique emphasizes the relationship between mind and breath.
The breath influences the mind and vice-versa.
Description
Mahavatar Babaji was born in Swethanathapuram, an ancient seaport near Chidambaram, India on November 30, 203 A.D. Swethanathapuram is now known as Parangipettai.
Mahavatar Babaji is known as the realized yogi, the ancient youth of sixteen summers, as he attained immortality at a young age. He is also called the MoolaGuru (expert of Mooladhara), the first chakra (root chakra) and the seat of Kundalini.
Babaji has taken responsibility for the yogic education of the souls incarnated on planet Earth.
”Babaji’s mission in India has been to assist prophets in carrying out their special dispensations. He thus qualifies for the scriptural classification of Mahavatar.
Babaji has stated that he gave yoga initiation to Shankara, the ancient founder of the Swami Order, and to Kabir, a famous medieval saint. His chief 19th-century disciple was, as we know, Lahiri Mahasaya, revivalist of the lost Kriya art.” – Paramhansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi.
