Learn Kriya Yoga Medititation

Introduction to the ancient science of Kriya Yoga Meditation will be given at an introductory lecture at Yoga Soup at 7:00 pm on Friday, November 7.

The ancient practice of Kriya Yoga is a simple, yet scientific method of meditation and self-realization.  The modern revival began in 1861 with Babaji and has been handed down to the current Kriya lineage of masters directly through the Master-disciple method of teaching. The tradition for learning the royal science of Kriya Yoga meditation begins with purification. This entails participation in a holy ceremony in which the spine and the body are purified by the sound of sacred chants or mantras. Each seeker is initiated on an individual basis through the direct touch of a teacher of this lineage. The teacher directly infuses the triple divine qualities of sound, vibration, and light into the initiate. Through this process, the seeker will learn to perceive the inner light of the soul, hear divine sound, and feel the divine movement sensation all over the body. Sacred mantras are chanted throughout the ceremony with adequate explanations in English.

Yogacharayas Richard Peterson and Lucy O’Brien will offer Entry-Level Kriya Initiation Ceremony on the weekend, November 8 -9,  2025 in Santa Barbara, CA.   Registration is required for the weekend workshop.  All sincere students interested in learning the techniques of Kriya Yoga as practiced through the lineage of Paramahamsa Prajnanananda and Paramahamsa Hariharanananda are welcome.
