Kriya Yoga Course — Awaken the Divine Within

The Kriya Yoga Course is a sacred, step-by-step journey into higher awareness and inner transformation. Rooted in the original teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, this course helps you awaken the divine energy in your astral spine, refine your consciousness, and live with deeper clarity, devotion, and joy.

This is the same Kriya Yoga that Yogananda brought to the world—taught with sincerity, personal guidance, and the timeless laws of spiritual evolution.

The great immortal Master Mahavatar Babaji revived this technique and gave it to his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya. Lahiri passed it on to his disciple, Swami Sri Yukteswar, who in turn trained Paramhansa Yogananda.

Kriya Yoga is more than a technique. It is a way of life.
This course helps you build the inner receptivity, discipline, and attunement needed to walk the path of accelerated spiritual growth.

Course Highlights

A progressive journey into spiritual clarity, energy mastery, and inner transformation.

Phase 1: Foundations of Spiritual Practice
Build grounding, discipline, and inner stillness.

You will:

  • Learn the basics of spiritual development
  • Establish a steady meditation practice rooted in breath, awareness, and calm feeling
  • Create a daily practice schedule that supports inner discipline
  • Begin cultivating the stillness needed for deeper spiritual work

This foundation prepares your mind and nervous system for the higher practices to come.

Understand the architecture of your inner world.

You will explore:

  • The structure and function of the spiritual body
  • Key concepts: Prana, Kundalini, Chakras, Energy, Magnetism, and Spiritual Attitude
  • The laws of spiritual evolution, including Self-realization and Moksha
  • How spiritual evolution unfolds through Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga, and the deeper spiritual significance of each limb
  • The attitudes and lifestyle changes necessary for true transformation

This phase helps you understand why the spiritual path works, not just how.

Attune to the source of spiritual transmission.

Here you learn:

  • The Guru’s role in your spiritual evolution
  • How to tune your energy to receive higher guidance
  • The responsibilities and inner attitude of a disciple
  • How devotion and receptivity accelerate spiritual growth

This phase strengthens your connection to Paramhansa Yogananda’s consciousness.

Refine your mind and energy for initiation.

In this phase, you will:

  • Learn advanced techniques that deepen meditation and harmonize inner energies
  • Strengthen your spiritual foundation through focused and consistent practice
  • Receive personal guidance to evaluate your readiness with clarity and sincerity
  • Integrate everything learned so far to prepare yourself for Kriya Initiation

 

This phase brings together discipline, intuition, and inner refinement, helping you approach Kriya Yoga Diksha with steadiness, reverence, and spiritual maturity.

The beginning of your deeper spiritual evolution.

Upon successful completion of all four phases—and after a personal discussion with the Kriyacharya—you will be invited to receive Kriya Yoga Diksha, either online or in person.

This initiation marks the beginning of a deeper, more accelerated phase of your spiritual journey.

What You Will Gain

By the end of this course—and through your sincere, continued practice—you will experience a deep inner shift that touches every part of your life.

You will learn to:

  • Manage and direct your Prana, helping you stay centered in your astral spine even in challenging situations
  • Understand and transform your emotions, instead of being controlled by them
  • Tune into divine wisdom and act with attunement to higher guidance
  • Consciously refine your karmic tendencies, transforming your karmic load over time
  • Align your life with divine consciousness, allowing your choices and actions to flow from inner guidance
  • Develop your fullest divine potential, becoming inwardly stable, self-directed, and spiritually attuned

 

These abilities unfold progressively as you devote yourself to the practice over the years.
Your sincere regular practice will always be rewarded—not through specific outcomes you request, but through the quiet and powerful grace of the Divine, which acts according to its own perfect wisdom and your highest good.
