Atma Kriya ™

Discovering Your True Identity

 

Atma Kriya was created by Mahavatar Babaji as an ancient meditation/yoga  system  uniquely adapted for our modern  lifestyle. It is Yoga for the Soul.  Atma Kriya brings more contentment and  joy into your life and enables you to experience daily life with more peace,  creativity, self-confidence and love.  Deep inner transformation is the very essence of Kriya.

It has been given to the world to help us experience the truth within ourselves; that ultimately all is One and that love is the binding force that can unite humanity. Atma Kriya can allow us to truly be ourselves, to feel more love for others and to experience a state of permanent inner peace. Unity with the Divine (enlightenment) can also be achieved through regular and sustained practice of the techniques.

“Atma Kriya is one of the most powerful and fastest ways of attaining union with the Divine through the upliftment of limited, human consciousness to Cosmic Consciousness.”  - Mahavatar Babaji

Journey to the Atma (Soul)

Atma Kriya is an invitation to take one of the greatest human journeys anyone possibly can – a journey to the Centre of Your Being. This place is called Atma. Atma is the Sanskrit name for your Soul, it is who you Really Are, it is what you Truly Represent and it is the source of your Highest Potential. For thousands of years, ancient Yogis have been taking this same journey, in search of their True Identity. The Ancient Greeks also understood this when they wrote the inscription at the Greek Temple of Apollo at Delphi, “Know Thyself”. To know oneself is to know the universe, for You Are a Microcosm of the Macrocosm. This is your greatest gift, in fact you are the Gift Itself.

 

This is Self-realization. The Gift is within us, but how can we access it? To reach the Atma requires a set of keys. The keys have been given at different times in the form of practical and systematic yoga techniques. Atma Kriya is a yoga system that provides the keys we need at this time in our history. They have been adapted to suit our modern lifestyle and have been given by Mahavatar Babaji, first brought to the attention of the West in the renowned book “The Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahansa Yogananda.

 

 

Changes through Atma Kriya

The Atma is a constant, uninterrupted source of happiness, peace and love. Atma Kriya brings about an overall transformation at every level of our existence – physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. This Deep Change is a Catalyst to reunite our limited human consciousness with its true identity - the Atma – and the Atma with Cosmic Consciousness.

 

Atma Kriya is one of the fastest ways to evolve one's Soul to the state of Self and God realization – man’s highest potential and the ultimate goal of Yoga.

 

Atma Kriya ultimately helps one to live their life with a constant awareness of his/her connection with the Divine. As a result the heart is opened up and the individual is transformed into an expression of Divine love, which is pure, beyond the senses, selfless and ever expanding. One begins to perform all of his/her actions out of love. By experiencing the world as a manifestation of Divine will, we start to live a more joyful, harmonious, peaceful and balanced life. We begin accessing our inner potential, our physical and spiritual powers are regenerated and there is greater wisdom, discrimination and understanding.

 

There are so many different paths of yoga - jnana, kriya, raja, hatha, karma etc. Whichever path you take, eventually you will find yourself immersed in Divine love (Bhakti).

 

Atma Kriya Comprises of Several Different Techniques

 

Pranayama – these are breathing exercises for concentrating and directing the life force in the body. Pranayama exercises are energizing and cleansing on the physical body, calming and beneficial for the mind and help to attain higher levels of consciousness. Specific pranayama exercises involve breathing in the Sushumna nadi, located in the centre of the spine. This stimulates the dormant Kundalini Shakti, purifies and balances the chakras and burns karma, accelerating ones spiritual growth.

Mantra – a mantra is the repetition of a series of sounds that relate to a particular energy associated with an aspect of the Divine. Repeating a mantra elevates or modifies ones consciousness, connects one with the Divine and helps to calm and concentrate the mind, making meditation much easier.

Meditation – this balances the mind and emotions and also has physiological and spiritual benefits. Specific meditation exercises make one more heart centered.

OM-Healing – this is an ancient group self-healing technique re-introduced to the world by Mahavatar Babaji. It supports the healing process of the body, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It transforms the aura of the body into light and assists ones spiritual growth.

Asanas – these are physical exercises that keep the body physically fit and healthy and free from disorders and disease. Asanas permit the transmission of more life force through the body.

Shaktipath

 

 

At the end of the course an initiation is given, which is a direct energy transference known as Shaktipath. This provides the initiating “spark” for the Atma Kriya practice to be successful. More specifically, Shaktipath activates the chakras (energy centres in our body), purifies the nervous system and heals the body (at an emotional and mental level). The result is better health, higher levels of consciousness and ultimately Divine bliss. The Shaktipath in Atma Kriya comes from Mahavatar Babaji via the teacher.
