What is Babaji's Kriya Yoga?


The goal of life is happiness, peace, love and enlightenment. The desire for perfection comes from the Self, the image of God, which seeks to express itself through all humanity.

Babaji's Kriya Yoga is a scientific art of God, Truth union and Self-Realization. It was revived by a great master of India, Babaji Nagaraj, as a synthesis of ancient teachings of the 18 Siddha tradition. It includes a series of techniques or 'kriyas' grouped into five phases or branches. Paramahamsa Yogananda taught that practice of Kriya Kundalini Pranayama can accelerate the natural progression of Divine Consciousness in human beings.

Kriya Yoga: Insights Along the Path Kriya Yoga: Insights Along the Path
Marshall Govindan and Jan (Durga) Ahlund

My wife, Jan "Durga" Ahlund and I have recognized for many years the need for a book that would explain to both those interested in learning Kriya Yoga and those already embarked on its path, why they should practice it, what are the difficulties, and how to overcome them. We believe that this book will help prepare everyone for the challenges and opportunities that Kriya Yoga provides. Every one of us faces the resistance of our human nature, ignorance as to our true identity, and karma, the consequences of years of conditioning by our thoughts, words and actions. By cultivating aspiration for the Divine, rejecting egoism and its manifestations, and surrendering to our higher Self, pure Witness consciousness, we can overcome this resistance, our karma and the many obstacles on the path. But, to do so, we need much support and insight along the way.

Babaji and the 18 Siddha Kriya Yoga TraditionBabaji and the 18 Siddha Kriya Yoga Tradition
Marshall Govindan

The first authoritative biography of Babaji, the immortal master made famous by Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi", an all-time best seller. Babaji lives today near Badrinath, in the upper Himalayan mountains. His body has not aged since the age of sixteen, when centuries ago he attained the supreme state of enlightenment and divine transformation. This followed his initiation into the scientific art of Kriya Yoga by two deathless masters, the Siddhas Agastyar and Boganathar, who belonged to the "18 Siddha Tradition", famous among the Tamil speaking people of southern India. This rare account, by a longtime disciple, reveals their little known life stories, ancient culture and present mission, as well as how their Kriya Yoga can be used to bring about the integration of the material and spiritual dimensions of life. Clear explanations of the psychophysiological effects of Kriya Yoga and guidelines for its practice are given. It includes verses from the Siddhas' writings with commentary. A book which will inspire you.

The Recognition of Our Own Heart: Ponderings on the Pratyabhijñahrydayam THE RECOGNITION OF OUR OWN HEART: PONDERINGS ON THE PRATYABHIJÑAHRYDAYAM
Joan Ruvinsky


In The Recognition of Our Own Heart: Pratyabhijñahrdayam, non-dual yoga and meditation teacher Joan Ruvinsky offers up a beautifully illustrated interpretive translation of one of the foundational texts of Kashmiri Shaivism — twenty short verses that address fundamental and universal questions. Part poetry, part guidebook, part art, it conveys the richness and incandescence so characteristic of the lineage without losing sight of the last 400 years of philosophical inquiry, spiritual revelation, and scholarship.

"With deep reverence for this 11th-century text, four women sat with all the translations they could find, chanting the Sanskrit, studying, analyzing, and finally sensing and feeling into each line until there was consensus, a mutual “ah,” and shimmer of recognition in the heart. Ruvinsky’s poetic ponderings, sourced from this deep exploration with her beloved colleagues, her own intuitive understanding, and burnished in the wisdom of pure consciousness, is her final gift to us. I am ever-grateful."
- Amy Weintraub; Founder, LifeForce Yoga Healing Institute and author, Yoga for Depression and Yoga Skills for Therapists

Voice of Babaji - A Trilogy on Kriya Yoga ENLIGHTENMENT: It's Not What You Think
Marshall Govindan

With compelling logic, practices for everyday life, and guided meditations, the book explains how you can free yourself from suffering, enjoy inner peace, and find intuitive guidance.

George Feuerstein Bhagavad Gita DVD Seminar New DVD: "The Bhagavad Gita: Values for the 21st Century, a video recorded seminar with Dr. Georg Feuerstein, Ph. D"

Recorded at the Babaji’s Kriya Yoga Ashram in St Etienne de Bolton, Quebec, Canada on June 30, 2001. 6 hours 29 minutes

The Bhagavad Gita or Sacred Song is one or the world’s most important sacred texts. It celebrates the relationship of man with God, the intense joy of Divine Love and the realization of the Self through Yoga. In the form of a dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna on the eve of a battle, Krishna teaches the fearful Arjuna the need for action and the requirement that he – like all mankind – take his place in the world with faith and love.

This is a rare recording, nearly six and one half hours in length, by perhaps the West’s greatest scholar of Yoga in modern times, the late Dr. Georg Feuerstein (1947 to 2012). Those who have enjoyed reading his more than thirty books on the subject of Yoga will enjoy even more listening to and watching one whose great scholarship was uniquely informed by his profound experience of the deeper dimensions of Yoga

George Feuerstein Tantra DVD Seminar

New DVD: "Tantra: a video recorded seminar with Dr. Georg Feuerstein, Ph. D"

Recorded at the Babaji’s Kriya Yoga Ashram in St Etienne de Bolton, Quebec, Canada, July 1, 2001. 6 hours 24 minutes.

The spiritual tradition known as tantra, often associated with Kundalini Yoga, teaches that enlightenment must embrace all dimensions of our existence, including the physical. It involves removing subconscious obstacles through various methods, including mantras, hatha yoga, kundalini breathing, and the worship of the divine shakti or power, first externally, and then internally.

This is a rare recording, nearly six and one half hours in length, by perhaps the West’s greatest scholar of Yoga in modern times, the late Dr. Georg Feuerstein (1947 to 2012). Those who have enjoyed reading his more than thirty books on the subject of Yoga will enjoy even more listening to and watching one whose great scholarship was uniquely informed by his profound experience of the deeper dimensions of Yoga.
