Because of certain ancient yogic injunctions, I cannot give a full explanation of Kriya Yoga in the pages of a book intended for the general public. The actual technique must be learned from a Kriyaban or Kriya Yogi; here a broad reference must suffice.
Kriya Yoga is a simple, psychophysiological method by which the human blood is decarbonized and recharged with oxygen. The atoms of this extra oxygen are transmuted3 into life current to rejuvenate4 the brain and spinal5 centers. 26-1 By stopping the accumulation of venous blood, the yogi is able to lessen6 or prevent the decay of tissues; the advanced yogi transmutes7 his cells into pure energy. Elijah, Jesus, Kabir and other prophets were past masters in the use of Kriya or a similar technique, by which they caused their bodies to dematerialize at will.
Kriya is an ancient science. Lahiri Mahasaya received it from his guru, Babaji, who rediscovered and clarified the technique after it had been lost in the Dark Ages.
"The Kriya Yoga which I am giving to the world through you in this nineteenth century," Babaji told Lahiri Mahasaya, "is a revival8 of the same science which Krishna gave, millenniums ago, to Arjuna, and which was later known to Patanjali, and to Christ, St. John, St. Paul, and other disciples10."
Kriya Yoga is referred to by Krishna, India's greatest prophet, in a stanza11 of the Bhagavad Gita: "Offering inhaling12 breath into the outgoing breath, and offering the outgoing breath into the inhaling breath, the yogi neutralizes13 both these breaths; he thus releases the life force from the heart and brings it under his control." 26-2 The interpretation14 is: "The yogi arrests decay in the body by an addition of life force, and arrests the mutations of growth in the body by apan (eliminating current). Thus neutralizing15 decay and growth, by quieting the heart, the yogi learns life control."
Krishna also relates 26-3 that it was he, in a former incarnation, who communicated the indestructible yoga to an ancient illuminato, Vivasvat, who gave it to Manu, the great legislator. 26-4 He, in turn, instructed Ikshwaku, the father of India's solar warrior16 dynasty. Passing thus from one to another, the royal yoga was guarded by the rishis until the coming of the materialistic17 ages. 26-5 Then, due to priestly secrecy18 and man's indifference19, the sacred knowledge gradually became inaccessible20.
Kriya Yoga is mentioned twice by the ancient sage21 Patanjali, foremost exponent22 of yoga, who wrote: "Kriya Yoga consists of body discipline, mental control, and meditating23 on Aum." 26-6 Patanjali speaks of God as the actual Cosmic Sound of Aum heard in meditation24. 26-7 Aum is the Creative Word, 26-8 the sound of the Vibratory Motor. Even the yoga-beginner soon inwardly hears the wondrous25 sound of Aum. Receiving this blissful spiritual encouragement, the devotee becomes assured that he is in actual touch with divine realms.
Patanjali refers a second time to the life-control or Kriya technique thus: "Liberation can be accomplished26 by that pranayama which is attained28 by disjoining the course of inspiration and expiration29." 26-9
St. Paul knew Kriya Yoga, or a technique very similar to it, by which he could switch life currents to and from the senses. He was therefore able to say: "Verily, I protest by our rejoicing which I have in Christ, i die daily." 26-10 By daily withdrawing his bodily life force, he united it by yoga union with the rejoicing (eternal bliss) of the Christ consciousness. In that felicitous30 state, he was consciously aware of being dead to the delusive31 sensory32 world of maya.
In the initial states of God-contact (sabikalpa samadhi) the devotee's consciousness merges33 with the Cosmic Spirit; his life force is withdrawn34 from the body, which appears "dead," or motionless and rigid35. The yogi is fully2 aware of his bodily condition of suspended animation36. As he progresses to higher spiritual states (nirbikalpa samadhi), however, he communes with God without bodily fixation, and in his ordinary waking consciousness, even in the midst of exacting37 worldly duties. 26-11
"Kriya Yoga is an instrument through which human evolution can be quickened," Sri Yukteswar explained to his students. "The ancient yogis discovered that the secret of cosmic consciousness is intimately linked with breath mastery. This is India's unique and deathless contribution to the world's treasury38 of knowledge. The life force, which is ordinarily absorbed in maintaining the heart-pump, must be freed for higher activities by a method of calming and stilling the ceaseless demands of the breath."
The Kriya Yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve39, upward and downward, around the six spinal centers (medullary, cervical, dorsal40, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) which correspond to the twelve astral signs of the zodiac, the symbolic41 Cosmic Man. One-half minute of revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects subtle progress in his evolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment.
The astral system of a human being, with six (twelve by polarity) inner constellations42 revolving43 around the sun of the omniscient44 spiritual eye, is interrelated with the physical sun and the twelve zodiacal signs. All men are thus affected45 by an inner and an outer universe. The ancient rishis discovered that man's earthly and heavenly environment, in twelve-year cycles, push him forward on his natural path. The scriptures46 aver47 that man requires a million years of normal, diseaseless evolution to perfect his human brain sufficiently48 to express cosmic consciousness.
One thousand Kriya practiced in eight hours gives the yogi, in one day, the equivalent of one thousand years of natural evolution: 365,000 years of evolution in one year. In three years, a Kriya Yogi can thus accomplish by intelligent self-effort the same result which nature brings to pass in a million years. The Kriya short cut, of course, can be taken only by deeply developed yogis. With the guidance of a guru, such yogis have carefully prepared their bodies and brains to receive the power created by intensive practice.
The Kriya beginner employs his yogic exercise only fourteen to twenty- eight times, twice daily. A number of yogis achieve emancipation49 in six or twelve or twenty-four or forty-eight years. A yogi who dies before achieving full realization50 carries with him the good karma of his past Kriya effort; in his new life he is harmoniously52 propelled toward his Infinite Goal.
The body of the average man is like a fifty-watt lamp, which cannot accommodate the billion watts53 of power roused by an excessive practice of Kriya. Through gradual and regular increase of the simple and "foolproof" methods of Kriya, man's body becomes astrally transformed day by day, and is finally fitted to express the infinite potentials of cosmic energy-the first materially active expression of Spirit.
Kriya Yoga has nothing in common with the unscientific breathing exercises taught by a number of misguided zealots. Their attempts to forcibly hold breath in the lungs is not only unnatural54 but decidedly unpleasant. Kriya, on the other hand, is accompanied from the very beginning by an accession of peace, and by soothing55 sensations of regenerative effect in the spine56.
The ancient yogic technique converts the breath into mind. By spiritual advancement57, one is able to cognize the breath as an act of mind-a dream-breath.
Many illustrations could be given of the mathematical relationship between man's respiratory rate and the variations in his states of consciousness. A person whose attention is wholly engrossed59, as in following some closely knit intellectual argument, or in attempting some delicate or difficult physical feat60, automatically breathes very slowly. Fixity of attention depends on slow breathing; quick or uneven61 breaths are an inevitable62 accompaniment of harmful emotional states: fear, lust58, anger. The restless monkey breathes at the rate of 32 times a minute, in contrast to man's average of 18 times. The elephant, tortoise, snake and other animals noted63 for their longevity64 have a respiratory rate which is less than man's. The tortoise, for instance, who may attain27 the age of 300 years, 26-12 breathes only 4 times per minute.
The rejuvenating65 effects of sleep are due to man's temporary unawareness66 of body and breathing. The sleeping man becomes a yogi; each night he unconsciously performs the yogic rite of releasing himself from bodily identification, and of merging67 the life force with healing currents in the main brain region and the six sub-dynamos of his spinal centers. The sleeper68 thus dips unknowingly into the reservoir of cosmic energy which sustains all life.
The voluntary yogi performs a simple, natural process consciously, not unconsciously like the slow-paced sleeper. The Kriya Yogi uses his technique to saturate69 and feed all his physical cells with undecaying light and keep them in a magnetized state. He scientifically makes breath unnecessary, without producing the states of subconscious70 sleep or unconsciousness.
By Kriya, the outgoing life force is not wasted and abused in the senses, but constrained71 to reunite with subtler spinal energies. By such reinforcement of life, the yogi's body and brain cells are electrified72 with the spiritual elixir73. Thus he removes himself from studied observance of natural laws, which can only take him-by circuitous74 means as given by proper food, sunlight, and harmonious51 thoughts-to a million-year Goal. It needs twelve years of normal healthful living to effect even slight perceptible change in brain structure, and a million solar returns are exacted to sufficiently refine the cerebral75 tenement76 for manifestation77 of cosmic consciousness.
Untying78 the cord of breath which binds79 the soul to the body, Kriya serves to prolong life and enlarge the consciousness to infinity80. The yoga method overcomes the tug81 of war between the mind and the matter- bound senses, and frees the devotee to reinherit his eternal kingdom. He knows his real nature is bound neither by physical encasement nor by breath, symbol of the mortal enslavement to air, to nature's elemental compulsions.
Introspection, or "sitting in the silence," is an unscientific way of trying to force apart the mind and senses, tied together by the life force. The contemplative mind, attempting its return to divinity, is constantly dragged back toward the senses by the life currents. Kriya, controlling the mind directly through the life force, is the easiest, most effective, and most scientific avenue of approach to the Infinite. In contrast to the slow, uncertain "bullock cart" theological path to God, Kriya may justly be called the "airplane" route.
The yogic science is based on an empirical consideration of all forms of concentration and meditation exercises. Yoga enables the devotee to switch off or on, at will, life current from the five sense telephones of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Attaining82 this power of sense-disconnection, the yogi finds it simple to unite his mind at will with divine realms or with the world of matter. No longer is he unwillingly83 brought back by the life force to the mundane84 sphere of rowdy sensations and restless thoughts. Master of his body and mind, the Kriya Yogi ultimately achieves victory over the "last enemy," death.
So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men: And Death once dead, there's no more dying then. 26-13
The life of an advanced Kriya Yogi is influenced, not by effects of past actions, but solely85 by directions from the soul. The devotee thus avoids the slow, evolutionary86 monitors of egoistic actions, good and bad, of common life, cumbrous and snail-like to the eagle hearts.
The superior method of soul living frees the yogi who, shorn of his ego87-prison, tastes the deep air of omnipresence. The thralldom of natural living is, in contrast, set in a pace humiliating. Conforming his life to the evolutionary order, a man can command no concessionary haste from nature but, living without error against the laws of his physical and mental endowment, still requires about a million years of incarnating88 masquerades to know final emancipation.
The telescopic methods of yogis, disengaging themselves from physical and mental identifications in favor of soul-individuality, thus commend themselves to those who eye with revolt a thousand thousand years. This numerical periphery89 is enlarged for the ordinary man, who lives in harmony not even with nature, let alone his soul, but pursues instead unnatural complexities90, thus offending in his body and thoughts the sweet sanities of nature. For him, two times a million years can scarce suffice for liberation.
Gross man seldom or never realizes that his body is a kingdom, governed by Emperor Soul on the throne of the cranium, with subsidiary regents in the six spinal centers or spheres of consciousness. This theocracy91 extends over a throng92 of obedient subjects: twenty-seven thousand billion cells-endowed with a sure if automatic intelligence by which they perform all duties of bodily growths, transformations93, and dissolutions-and fifty million substratal thoughts, emotions, and variations of alternating phases in man's consciousness in an average life of sixty years. Any apparent insurrection of bodily or cerebral cells toward Emperor Soul, manifesting as disease or depression, is due to no disloyalty among the humble94 citizens, but to past or present misuse95 by man of his individuality or free will, given to him simultaneous with a soul, and revocable never.
Identifying himself with a shallow ego, man takes for granted that it is he who thinks, wills, feels, digests meals, and keeps himself alive, never admitting through reflection (only a little would suffice!) that in his ordinary life he is naught96 but a puppet of past actions (karma) and of nature or environment. Each man's intellectual reactions, feelings, moods, and habits are circumscribed97 by effects of past causes, whether of this or a prior life. Lofty above such influences, however, is his regal soul. Spurning98 the transitory truths and freedoms, the Kriya Yogi passes beyond all disillusionment into his unfettered Being. All scriptures declare man to be not a corruptible99 body, but a living soul; by Kriya he is given a method to prove the scriptural truth.
"Outward ritual cannot destroy ignorance, because they are not mutually contradictory," wrote Shankara in his famous Century Of Verses. "Realized knowledge alone destroys ignorance. . . . Knowledge cannot spring up by any other means than inquiry100. 'Who am I? How was this universe born? Who is its maker101? What is its material cause?' This is the kind of inquiry referred to." The intellect has no answer for these questions; hence the rishis evolved yoga as the technique of spiritual inquiry.
Kriya Yoga is the real "fire rite" often extolled102 in the Bhagavad Gita. The purifying fires of yoga bring eternal illumination, and thus differ much from outward and little-effective religious fire ceremonies, where perception of truth is oft burnt, to solemn chanted accompaniment, along with the incense103!
The advanced yogi, withholding104 all his mind, will, and feeling from false identification with bodily desires, uniting his mind with superconscious forces in the spinal shrines105, thus lives in this world as God hath planned, not impelled106 by impulses from the past nor by new witlessnesses of fresh human motivations. Such a yogi receives fulfillment of his Supreme107 Desire, safe in the final haven108 of inexhaustibly blissful Spirit.
The yogi offers his labyrinthine109 human longings110 to a monotheistic bonfire dedicated111 to the unparalleled God. This is indeed the true yogic fire ceremony, in which all past and present desires are fuel consumed by love divine. The Ultimate Flame receives the sacrifice of all human madness, and man is pure of dross112. His bones stripped of all desirous flesh, his karmic skeleton bleached113 in the antiseptic suns of wisdom, he is clean at last, inoffensive before man and Maker.
Referring to yoga's sure and methodical efficacy, Lord Krishna praises the technological114 yogi in the following words: "The yogi is greater than body-disciplining ascetics115, greater even than the followers116 of the path of wisdom (Jnana Yoga), or of the path of action (Karma Yoga); be thou, O disciple9 Arjuna, a yogi!" 26-14
26-1: The noted scientist, Dr. George W. Crile of Cleveland, explained before a 1940 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science the experiments by which he had proved that all bodily tissues are electrically negative, except the brain and nervous system tissues which remain electrically positive because they take up revivifying oxygen at a more rapid rate.
26-2: Bhagavad Gita, IV:29.
26-3: Bhagavad Gita IV:1-2.
26-4: The author of Manava Dharma Shastras. These institutes of canonized common law are effective in India to this day. The French scholar, Louis Jacolliot, writes that the date of Manu "is lost in the night of the ante-historical period of India; and no scholar has dared to refuse him the title of the most ancient lawgiver in the world." In La Bible Dans L'inde, pages 33-37, Jacolliot reproduces parallel textual references to prove that the Roman Code Of Justinian follows closely the Laws Of Manu.
26-5: The start of the materialistic ages, according to Hindu scriptural reckonings, was 3102 B.C. This was the beginning of the Descending117 Dwapara Age (see page 174). Modern scholars, blithely118 believing that 10,000 years ago all men were sunk in a barbarous Stone Age, summarily dismiss as "myths" all records and traditions of very ancient civilizations in India, China, Egypt, and other lands.
26-6: Patanjali's Aphorisms119, II:1. In using the words Kriya Yoga, Patanjali was referring to either the exact technique taught by Babaji, or one very similar to it. That it was a definite technique of life control is proved by Patanjali's Aphorism120 II:49.
26-7: Patanjali's Aphorisms, I:27.
26-8: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."-John 1:1-3. Aum (Om) of the Vedas became the sacred word Amin of the Moslems, Hum of the Tibetans, and Amen of the Christians121 (its meaning in Hebrew being sure, faithful). "These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God."-Revelations 3:14.
26-9: Aphorisms II:49..
26-10: I Corinthians 15:31. "Our rejoicing" is the correct translation; not, as usually given, "your rejoicing." St. Paul was referring to the omnipresence of the Christ consciousness..
26-11: Kalpa means time or aeon122. Sabikalpa means subject to time or change; some link with prakriti or matter remains123. Nirbikalpa means timeless, changeless; this is the highest state of samadhi.
26-12: According to the Lincoln Library Of Essential Information, p. 1030, the giant tortoise lives between 200 and 300 years.
26-14: Bhagavad Gita, VI:46.
