Prerequisite: The Art and Science of Raja Yoga

COURSE CONTENT:

Kriya Yoga is a pranayama technique; but it is given through initiation. This unbroken line of Guru (teacher) – Disciple succession has persisted from ancient times to today. In this course, you will learn: 
 
  • To have a deeper meditation practice
  • Mahamudra
  • Tuning into Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings
  • Watching and discussing Swami Kriyananda’s talks on Guru/Disciple relationship
  • Reading and discussing A Handbook on Discipleship, written by Swami Kriyananda. Swami Kriyananda shares insights into the importance and practice of the Guru/Disciple relationship. Stories of his personal experiences with Paramhansa Yogananda help to prepare the student for either an at-home or in-person initiation into discipleship to Yogananda and to the line of Masters of Self-Realization, if he or she feels ready for this level of commitment.
