Welcome to the June edition of the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India eNewsletter. In recognition of the second annual International Day of Yoga on June 21, in this issue we share inspiring words of Paramahansa Yogananda on Kriya Yoga, the ancient method of realising humanity's divine potentials that he founded YSS/SRF to disseminate worldwide, and which he wrote about in Autobiography of a Yogi.

Paramahansa Yogananda on Kriya Yoga

The centre of consciousness for the average individual is his body and the outer world. The yogi changes his centre of consciousness by nonattachment to the body and to worldly hopes and fears. By a technique – such as Kriya Yoga – of consciously controlling the life processes that tie the consciousness to the body (stilling the heart and breath), the yogi becomes established in the eternal wisdom-perception of Spirit that manifests in the spiritual centre of cosmic consciousness in the brain. The yogi who can change his centre of consciousness from the sentient body to the cerebral throne of Spirit ultimately centralises his consciousness on omnipresence. He attains the Eternal Wisdom.

Kriya Yoga, practiced deeply, will dissolve breath into mind, mind into intuition, intuition into the joyous perception of soul, and soul into the cosmic bliss of Spirit.

Kriya Yoga not only points out a universal highway of ascending the soul to the Spirit, but gives mankind a daily usable technique through whose practice the devotee, with the help of a guru, may reenter the kingdom of God. One theoretical teaching leads only to another, but any true practitioner of Kriya Yoga finds it to be the shortest way and quickest conveyance to the kingdom of Spirit.

Practice Kriya Yoga, and you will surely succeed on the spiritual path. That is my own experience. The liberating power of Kriya Yoga sunders the prison bars of karma. I have never found in East or West such a great technique as this.

We invite you to visit our website for more on the Kriya Yoga path of meditation.

Also, you can enjoy more inspiration in this video excerpt of YSS/SRF's president, Sri Mrinalini Mata, speaking on Kriya Yoga (from the DVD Be Messengers of God's Light and Love).

The highly anticipated theatrical release of Awake: The Life of Yogananda in India took place on June 17, 2016, coinciding with the UN-sponsored second annual International Day of Yoga. As part of the celebration of the International Day of Yoga, a number of Indian Embassies around the world also hosted special screenings of Awake.
