Are the techniques of Babaji’s Kriya Yoga the same as taught at the SRF?
BKY: Although there are great similarities in the pranayama technique, which involves circulating the energy from the breath through the spinal centers, there are also many differences. In BKY this most important technique is taught in a much more elaborate manner than the way in which Yogananda simplified it for Westerners. Also Babajis Kriya Yoga is an integral Yoga which includes a progressive and more comprehensive system of techniques in five limbs or categoires which lead to transformation on all levels of being. Kriya Hatha Yoga for the physical; Kriya Kundalini Pranayama for the vital, Kriya Dhyana meditations for the mental, Kriya Mantra for the Intellectual and Kriya Bhakti, love and devotion for the Spiritual Transformation.
