Kriya Yoga: A Complete Path to Bliss

Paramahansa Yogananda often referred to the Kriya Yoga path, with its scientific techniques of meditation, as “the highway to the Infinite.” The path of Kriya Yoga was found by Paramahansaji to be the most effective method of attaining the highest goal of religion, and indeed life itself: union with Bliss.

The sacred science of Kriya Yoga contains the distilled essence of Raja Yoga. At its heart are advanced techniques of meditation whose devoted practice leads to a state of inner stillness that enables us to realize our inherent soul nature and infinite potentiality.
