“Kriya Yoga” involves energisation techniques which can vitally recharge every cell in the body. “Kriya” is practised with total awareness, with the purpose of awakening the “chakras” (energy centres) in the body, purifying the “nadis” (energy channels) through which the prana energy flows, thus effecting the rising of “kundalini shakti” and leading to conscious awareness, means awareness of Jeevatman. The kriyas are designed and taught so as to bring about an awakening of the “kundalini” in stages, rather than abruptly.
