Kriya Yoga Praktijk
De methode is zeer geschikt voor zowel jonge als oudere mensen en is gemakkelijk te integreren in het dagelijks leven. Het omvat eenvoudig te leren oefeningen, ademhalings- en meditatietechnieken, die gelijktijdig voordeel opleveren voor het lichaam, de geest, het intellect en de Ziel. Enkele van deze technieken zijn: de Bow techniek, de Pranayam techniek, de Om Sadhana techniek, de Mahamudra techniek, de Jyotimudra techniek etc.
In deze spirituele traditie worden de technieken alleen mondeling en persoonlijk aan de studenten doorgegeven door bekwame leraren. Als je de oefeningen elke dag 15 tot 20 minuten doet, ervaar je de fysieke, mentale en spirituele voordelen.


Kriya Yoga Initiatie
Inwijding helpt de student zijn vooruitgang te versnellen en minimaliseert de tijd om te slagen en obstakels te overwinnen. Het geeft de basisinstrumenten om succes en perfectie te bereiken, zoals nederigheid, hard werken, discipline, positieve benadering, onbevreesdheid, zintuiglijke controle, delen, vergeving, geloof en goddelijkheid, geduld enz.
Zonder inwijding zijn deze moeilijk te verkrijgen en is succes in de spirituele praktijk twijfelachtig. De gebeden, liefde en beste wensen van de Guru voor de student zijn een grote bescherming en hulp voor de student. De student moet oprecht proberen om de inwijdingsvoorwaarden uit te voeren en mag geen misbruik maken van het vertrouwen en de techniek die de goeroe geeft.

Noodzaak van Kriya Yoga Initiatie
For Kriya Yoga initiation the genuine intention to learn the techniques and the daily practice is a must. And to be free from dogmatic thinking. If you want to be initiated in Kriya Yoga and learn the practice, then let us know via e-mail and we will inform you what is needed and why it is needed.
De inwijding wordt gegeven door Mahaswami Atmananda Paramahansa en vindt plaats in een van onze centra. Tijdens de Kriya Yoga inwijding helpt de Guru de student om een aantal geloften van spirituele beoefening af te leggen, waaronder het vertrouwelijk houden van de technieken van Kriya Yoga en het dagelijks beoefenen van de technieken.

Kriya Yoga Lessen
We advise you to follow the Kriya Yoga lessons. To remember and master the techniques and the fine details you can practice under the guidance of a Yogacharya ( a person who is more advanced in Kriya Yoga and who is specially initiated to help other Kriyabans).
The Kriya Yoga lessons are every week Wednesday and Thursday at our Amsterdam center in The Netherlands (located within walking distance from Amsterdam Central Station). Initiation in higher Kriya Yoga takes place after sufficient progress by constant daily practice of the techniques and is subject to the discretion of Mahaswami Atmananda Ji.
Satsangs
Satsang means actually “holy meeting”. When several people come together to meditate, the spiritual impression and power are greatly strengthened. You are able to concentrate better and meditate deeper and enjoy inner peace. The Satangs we organize is on the same day and same location as the Kriya Yoga lessons during the month and are accessible to Kriyabans.

These seminars offer an update, renewed energy and inspiration, leaving behind the pressures of everyday life and offering you the possibility to be together with Mahaswami Atmanandaji and ask Him for His help and guidance.
