What is Kriya Yoga? Why Is It Different From Other Yoga?

In 1984, during a television interview, the anchor of a channel in Orlando Florida introduces Baba Hariharanandaji as one of the more renowned Yogis from India - the country that is the seat of spiritual learning and has developed yoga practice to its finest. She asks him what Kriya Yoga is and how it is different from other Yoga. Watch the Divine Guru's love, enthusiasm, wisdom and simplicity and he answers. The video is sure to fill the hearts of all seekers with love for this spiritual giant who came to the west to fulfill the desire of his four Gurus that the true message of love spread all over the world.

I met this man once way back in the 1980s in San Jose CA where I lived at the time, and he changed my entire life. He was a very great, very evolved, and generous soul. A beautiful, bright white aura surrounded him and filled the entire space he occupied. All present felt this, blissful light. I normally don't see auras but I saw and felt his... Divine energy. A pure soul with a fully open heart is impossible to deny.

[@gillianlangton4960]

How?

[@chawlagrv]

what do you mean by saw a white aura? can you give any analogy? like a fog?

[@christopherwade1101]

@@chawlagrv Not fog... Light. I tried to explain. It's a conscious connection affecting the perception. I believe all people can experience it but usually don't. His energy was very subtle and charged with highly spiritual life energy. Now I have done my level best to try to explain an experience that to this day, I can't fully understand. I hope this helps.

With respect, as a person who lived in India with Sadhus for years, I'd be surprised if Swamiji would call a much younger woman 'mother'. He'd be more likely to call her beti (daughter)i. I think it's a translation mistake in the subtitles.

Would you know what is the difference between Advaita Vedanta and Kriya? (I am a follower of Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj and Advaita Vedanta)

[@SelfSeeker]

@@kathyashby6019 Advait(non dual or only consciousness) Vedanta is Gyan marg primarily. You internalize it and start to live that reality by carrying that Gyan. You can also add meditation practices and experience for yourself what you read or understand so it become a living reality for you in knowledge and experience. And once you experience the reality you don’t need knowledge any more coz job is done. Kriya on the other hand doesn’t start with knowledge, it’s an act you do as prescribed by your guru and initiation. Kriya helps one energize the body so much and make your awareness thinner and thinner overtime that one is suppose to realize one day. I do some kriya everyday and I really enjoy the after affects, the blankness of my mind is something I get and crave for everyday. I love Vedanta as well, it helps for sure. This is my understanding and my experience I bow down to all master who contributed to our lives.❤️❤️🙏🙏

@@SelfSeeker Thank you so much for your response and your kind words. In 2019 I had two direct experiences that baffled me as to what had happened! It was spontaneous - while awake and walking in my home. Two years passed before I had an answer and understanding - and by Grace it was Advaita Vedanta through the videos from Rupert Spira, Swami Sarvapriyananda, Atmananda Udalis, Ramesh Balsekar, Mooji, David Godman, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Arsha Bodha, Robert Adams, Papaji, Alan Watts, Conscious Circle, Bashar....plus many newly discovered teachers. Surprisingly though, some of the people I've followed for years (like Eckhart, Alan, Rupert, Deepak, and even Bashar) have been speaking on this...and I wasn't getting it. lol.

@@kathyashby6019 I didn’t have any mind baffling experience, only get into some blank or reduced thought states after my kriya session. Someone told me that it’s kind of trance state. It’s lasts for 20-30 mins depending upon my mental state on previous day. So my body/mind pulls me down quickly. No oneness experience yet. But yes, it’s all talk without experience.
