Kriya: The Ancient Science of Awakening for the Modern World

Kriya Yoga is the most powerful and direct path to Self-realization in the entire yogic tradition. Transmitted by the immortal Babaji to Lahiri Mahasaya in 1861, and brought to the West by Paramahansa Yogananda in his landmark Autobiography of a Yogi, Kriya is a precise science of breath, energy, and consciousness that accelerates spiritual evolution in a way that would otherwise take lifetimes.

In this work, Oluwo Jolaoso Osainbola presents the history, philosophy, and practice of Kriya Yoga as documented in the original Sanskrit texts and the lineage of Kriya masters. This is not a simplified introduction. This is a complete scholarly and practical guide to one of the most closely guarded sciences in the history of human spiritual development.

Kriya is not a religion. It is a technology. And like all true technologies, it works whether you believe in it or not.
