Initiation
“Everything shall pass. Nothing is permanent. So whatever emotional or mental upheavals you come across, don’t attach any importance to them. In due course, these things will pass and will seem unimportant and insignificant in view of the bigger picture of life. Forgive and forget and bless people always.”
Guruji · Yogi Prakash Shankar Vyas
Kriya Yoga Initiation
The path of Kriya Yoga requires enormous discipline and commitment and is not a practice to be undertaken lightly. Besides the life stories of the masters in Lahiri Mahasaya’s direct lineage, Kriya Yoga: Four Spiritual Masters and a Beginner by Heidi Wyder clearly explains what Kriya practice involves. It is packed with spiritual discussions with Guruji, and through the many examples and stories the devotee will be able to establish whether their motivation to learn from him is genuine.
Guruji wishes to establish that those coming to him are sincerely interested in Kriya Yoga. So if you are seeking Kriya Yoga initiation from Guruji, please read Kriya Yoga: Four Spiritual Masters and a Beginner by Heidi Wyder first.
Applying for Kriya Yoga initiation
If you are serious about seeking Kriya initiation, please get all the facts first. Kriya is priceless – don’t settle for less than the real thing at a time when many teachers are passing on a changed method. Find out what Kriya is all about: the commitment and discipline it involves, and its benefits. Understand the principles which Lahiri Mahasaya deemed inseparable from the practice and find out if this path is really what you are looking for. Kriya Yoga will not only provide you with the facts, it will also give you the tools to recognise Lahiri Mahasaya’s Kriya. Kriya Yoga contains discussions with an authorised Kriya Yoga master (Yogi Prakash Shankar Vyas – “Guruji”), who migrated from Varanasi, India, to Australia in 2007. No directory exists which divides the false gurus from the true Gurus, although this is another topic which is dealt with in some depth in Kriya Yoga.
Guruji does recommend that seekers read the book before applying for initiation. If you have read the book, and still feel drawn to apply for Kriya initiation from Guruji, please see the process of applying on Guruji’s own website.
