Description
Yogananda's Techniques to Gain Control Over Subtle EnergyWe are beings of energy. Matter, in fact, is merely a projection of underlying energy patterns. These exercises will help you control your life-force, the subtle energy - prana in Sanskrit. Energy control is a fundamental part of the science of yoga. The Energization Exercises are a wonderful system of exercises originated by Paramhansa Yogananda. They are his unique contribution to the science of yoga.What these techniques offer:
In the Body: boundless energy, vibrant good health
In the Mind: better focus, overcoming habits and attitudes
In the Soul: stillness and opennessThe Path of Kriya YogaYogananda (author of spiritual best-seller Autobiography of a Yogi) taught Kriya Yoga as part of a comprehensive spiritual path that includes three other techniques (Energization Exercises, Hong-Sau, AUM Meditation), along with discipleship to the Kriya line of Gurus. The actual Kriya technique is given through initiation, after establishing a regular daily practice of the first three techniques. This process takes about a year or more, depending on the student.

Person
Born in 1893, Yogananda was the first yoga master of India to take up permanent residence in the West.Yogananda arrived in America in 1920 and traveled throughout the country on what he called his "spiritual campaigns." Hundreds of thousands filled the largest halls in major cities to see the yoga master from India. Yogananda continued to lecture and write up to his passing in 1952.Yogananda's initial impact on Western culture was truly impressive. His lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Translated into more than fifty languages, it remains a best-selling spiritual classic to this day.Before embarking on his mission, Yogananda received this admonition from his teacher, Swami Sri Yukteswar: "The West is high in material attainments but lacking in spiritual understanding. It is God's will that you play a role in teaching mankind the value of balancing the material with an inner, spiritual life."In addition to Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda's spiritual legacy includes music, poetry, and extensive commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, and the Christian Bible, showing the principles of Self-realization as the unifying truth underlying all true religions. Through his teachings and his Kriya Yoga path millions of people around the world have found a new way to connect personally with God.His mission, however, was far broader than all this. It was to help usher the whole world into Dwapara Yuga, the new Age of Energy in which we live. "Someday," Swami Kriyananda wrote, "I believe he will be seen as the avatar of Dwapara Yuga: the way shower for a new age."
