I am not devotional. Can I still practice Kriya Yoga?

[@garimagatne]

I love that you make videos on questions that I have on my mind. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher

[@KriyaYogaOnline]

Happy to help!

Might not seem like much but I feel DEVOTION is everything on this Spiritual path. I am devoted to Yoganandaji’s teachings, devoted to Kriya, devoted to the Divine wisdom, devoted to Thy Truth…..🙏 I am devoted to this Spiritual path regardless.

[@KriyaYogaOnline]

good.

I just found your channel. Are you by chance in Asheville? I am in eastern NC and come back to AVL to see friends and fam. Wasn’t aware of a Kriya community!

[@KriyaYogaOnline]

I will be in Asheville again May 5th weekend. kriyayogaonline.com/kriya-yoga-immersion-and-initiation-may-asheville-nc/

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

You're most welcome

Thank you for clearing that up, and i was wondering, why i am rejecting Kriya Yoga. That is the reason. WHY is the most important question for human beings and our birthright. Demanding to give up that right of mastering yourself and give yourself over to a leading narative that can not be questions, always lead humanity into self destruction, with a very recent example right now going on. The path to the true Self must be done by SELF. You can not just give that up and be left a helpless leave in the wind. The true path is INSIDE YOU, not OUTSIDE, so no commands taken without questioning. And i do not believe, Kryia Yoga was supposed to be like that, it has again be manipulated into a hyrarchy structure to execute power and surpress self expression, that is not the true path. Very sorry that happened, i will try to find the true essence

[@KriyaYogaOnline]

sounds good.

Thank you for your insight. I am grateful for the words of wisdom from paramhansa yogananda, but raising 4 children and with a husband who has rejected spirituality, I found it exhausting and there was no energy left for meditation. I will always treasure my journey with kriya yoga and use its truth as a yardstick with other teachers. However, I am finding more peace and strength for day to day living with Ekhart Tolle. I can call on Jesus'and be assured of strength when I need it, which has happened too many times to be put down to coincidence. For me that is enough for now. Love and respect for all on the kriya path

[@KriyaYogaOnline]

With 4 kids I can only imagine!

Hi Ryan, Happy to have found you and have begun my Kriya studies and practice a few months ago with your guidance and texts. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on applying Kundalini Yoga Practices while on the Kriya path? I ask as I practice certain Kundalini Kriyas but I do not want it to interrupt the Kriya path. Hope this is articulate enough to make sense and once again thank you! Tyler

Hi Ryan, just had a question regarding the correct way to breathe during kriya meditation. I breathe with my diaphragm, however sometimes I feel like while visualising the prana going up my spine, I run out of breath before I get up to the third eye centre. Am I just visualising the prana rising too slowly?

[@KriyaYogaOnline]

most likely

[@operationlivefree4536]

Being dumbass and being a donkey that's Used for work being harnessed and lead by a carrot is kind of a strange comparison. Bc the donkey truly can't fight back once captured harnessed kept in a pin and the carrot is used to make it do the work bc well it has to eat. Maybe I'm thinking to literally which is a bad habit I have.

[@KriyaYogaOnline]

Yes, a good skill is learning how far to take an analogy or metaphor.

[@Deliciasdelahumanity]

can i get enlightened without doing kriya yoga?

[@operationlivefree4536]

Yes

[@Deliciasdelahumanity]

@@operationlivefree4536 good, what is the formula? hahahahahahahha

[@KriyaYogaOnline]

sure

[@adolforosado]

Devotion is not an act, it's an outcome. You cannot be devotional. Nobody can. When you do something else, it pops in. It's not a thing you can do purposefully.

[@KriyaYogaOnline]

I get the sense you may have not watched the video?

[@HolyGyanganj]

You have pictures of Jesus and Mother Mary? you certainly have changed. what gives? (BTW I consider myself a Christian and love following Kriya through your books and channel)
