Divine words from Paramahamsa Prajnanananda.

Progress Comes From Practice ✨🧘🏽‍♂️

Reading about Kriya Yoga is inspiring. Talking about it can be uplifting and help intellectual understanding. But if you’re not meditating regularly, what is your real purpose? What is your goal? True transformation comes from practice. Your body needs tuning like a racing car. Daily practice will do this for you 🙏

🔹 Paramahamsa Hariharananda:
"Mere reading of scriptures will not help you. Until you practice, you will not taste the nectar of divinity."

🔹 Paramahamsa Prajnanananda:
"Regular practice of Kriya Yoga removes the restlessness of the mind and leads to peace, bliss, and realization."

🔹 Paramahansa Yogananda:
"Read a little. Meditate more. Think of God all the time."

Dedicate yourself to the path. Sit. Breathe. Meditate. Everything else will follow. 🙏

🌿 Join Our Kriya Yoga Community in Newcastle 🕉

Kriya Yoga isn’t just about sitting in silence—it’s about connection, growth, and shared experience. Every Sunday at 5 PM in Whickham, we gather for:

✅ Group meditation
✅ Learning how to practice Kriya Yoga properly
✅ Open, supportive discussions about spirituality and life

We also take our practice into nature with regular walking sessions through the Consett countryside, woods, and scenic spaces—because Kriya is about stillness and movement.

This group is for those who have been initiated into our lineage of Kriya Yoga. If you’re already on this path and looking to deepen your practice within a supportive community, we’d love to welcome you.

Drop us message if you’d like to join us!

🧘‍♂️ Kriya Myth-Busting 🔍

❌ Myth: Kriya Yoga is only for monks or advanced yogis.

✅ Truth: Kriya Yoga is for everyone—whether you're a student, professional, parent, or retiree. It’s not about renouncing life but mastering it with awareness and peace. Even Lahiri Mahasaya, a great Kriya master, was a family man balancing work and spirituality.

✨ "Spirituality is not an escape from life but a way to master it." – Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Lecture on Kriya Yoga, a non-sectarian, scientific and practical meditation technique practised by sages and saints since time immemorial.

Lets take a moment to reflect on the incredible life of Bhupendranath Sanyal Mahashaya 🙏✨, a true gem in the Kriya Yoga lineage. Born in 1877 in Nadia, West Bengal, he was initiated into Kriya Yoga at just 16 by the legendary Lahiri Mahashaya—making him the youngest disciple to receive this sacred practice 🧘‍♂️🌟. Despite losing his mom at age two and facing frequent illnesses 😷, his spiritual fire burned bright 🔥. He dove into scriptures 📖, practiced with unwavering devotion, and by 1902, achieved Self-realization 🌈.

Sanyal Mahashaya wasn’t just a yogi—he was a householder who balanced family life (raising six kids! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦) with profound spiritual depth, following his guru’s footsteps 👣. He shared Kriya Yoga with countless seekers, established ashrams like Gurudham in Puri and Bhagalpur 🏡, and left a lasting legacy through his writings ✍️. His metaphorical take on the Bhagavad Gita through Kriya Yoga is pure gold 🌟—bridging ancient wisdom with practical spirituality.

A friend to Rabindranath Tagore and a teacher at Shantiniketan 🎓, he blended intellect, humility, and divine love ❤️. Until his mahasamadhi in 1962, he guided souls toward God-realization 🌌. For me, his life screams inspiration: no matter your circumstances, the path to the divine is always within reach 🙌. What do you think—how does his journey resonate with you? 💭

🌿 Swami Sri Yukteswar: The Enlightened Master 🌿

Swami Sri Yukteswar (1855–1936) was a revered yogi, scholar, and the guru of Paramahansa Yogananda. A master of Kriya Yoga, he united Eastern wisdom with Western scientific thought, emphasizing self-realization as the key to spiritual awakening.

He authored The Holy Science, bridging Vedic teachings with modern understanding. With deep insight and strict discipline, he guided Yogananda, shaping the global spread of Yoga and Meditation. His legacy continues to inspire seekers worldwide.

🕉️ “Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. But everything in future will improve if you are making the right spiritual effort now.” – Sri Yukteswar

🌟 Embrace the Divine Union 🕉️✨

"Be always in the state of yoga, or union. You are never separated from God, as the wave is never separated from the ocean. You are always united with God, in love. Feel that constant union and live in this state." – Paramahamsa Hariharananda

🧘‍♂️ The Eternal Connection 🌊💖

In every moment, recognize that you are inherently connected to the Divine Source. Just as a wave is an inseparable part of the vast ocean, your soul is eternally linked with the infinite love and wisdom of the universe.

🌿 Kriya Yoga guides us to awaken this awareness, helping us to live in a state of continuous union with the Divine. Through dedicated practice and meditation, we can experience this profound connection, leading to inner peace and spiritual fulfilment.

🔥 Live in Divine Love 🕯️💖

Let every breath remind you of this sacred union. Embrace life's challenges and joys with the understanding that you are never alone; the Divine Presence is always within and around you. By cultivating this awareness, you transform your life into a beautiful expression of divine love.
