Yoga-Meditation Alabama dedicated to Sri Paramahansa Yogananda.

Sri Yogananda taught the underlying unity of original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ and original yoga as taught by Bhagavan Krishna. For more information see Gurus. Sri Yogananda freely gave the gift of kriya yoga to sincere seekers of every path. What is kriya, many people ask? From Yogananda: Kriya is union with the infinite through a certain rite. The technique (rite) must be learned through a kriyaban, (master of Kriya). Kriya yoga is a simple, psychophysiological method by which human blood is decarbonized and recharged with oxygen. The atoms of this extra oxygen are transmuted into life current to rejuvinate the brain and spinal centers. By stopping the accumulation of venous blood, the yogi is able to lessen or prevent the decay of tissues. The advanced yogi transmutes his cells into life energy. A yogi who faithfully practices the technique is gradually freed from karma, or the lawful chain of cause-effect. Kriya yoga is an instrument through which human evoloution can be quickened. The kriya yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve, upward and downward, around the six spinal centers, which correspond to the 12 astral signs, the symbolic cosmic man. One half minute of kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment. Below is Paramahansa Yogananda:
