	Kriyas
		Kriya is a Sanskrit term that literally means "to move." I believe the term refers to a belief in the various Yoga traditions that the kundalini is in motion when the shaking and quaking is occurring.
		Kriya Yoga is derived from the concept of the movement of the kundalini, and it was articulated by Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteshwar, and popularized in the West by Yogananda through the Self Realization Fellowship.
		The Kriya, then is an involuntary or spontaneous movements and typically manifests as twitches, jerks, flinches, spasms or shaking of the body in response to the movement of the kundalini, which is stimulated through intense spiritual practices.

		Kriyas (pronounced kree-yuhz) are automatic movements, vocalizations or actions that are part of the process of Kundalini clearing the karma held in the energy body.
		Kriyas most often occur when the body's instinctive guidance is in the process of moving a blockage to the flow of spiritual life energy.
		Kriya Yoga, brought to the west by Yogananda, and taught by the Self Realization Fellowship is based on a simple but powerful kriya that is essentially the same as Kegel exercises that are sometimes taught to pregnant women, or others suffering from urinary incontinence.

	Original Kriya Discipline
		Kriya Yoga is a positive, scientific path for realizing Truth, free from the burden of philosophizing, ratiocination, fanaticism or sectarian ceremony. It is an eternal, direct method of communing with the inner Lord, or infinite Self.
		This is the unique novelty of the Kriya Path. It is as broad and clear as the sky and free of the verbal hucksterism and casuistry often associated with dualistic philosophies.
		The sole purpose of Kriya Bijnan is to attain to this state of Sthirattva, “eternal Tranquility” which alone has the capacity to bestow or accrue eternal Peace or inner Wisdom. As a matter of fact, eternal Tranquility is another way to express eternal Peace.

		Gurus of this yoga must try to maintain a balance between interfering with the activity of the kundalini as manifested in the kriyas and encouraging the affectation of kriyas because kriyas are seen as ``progress.'' Ultimately the validity of any spiritual tradition rests in its ability to transform the beings of its followers.
		Experienced masters of Siddha Mahayoga, such as Swami Shivom Tirth, have seen it all before and their simple counsel is: ``Do not resist kriyas in any way.'' For the individual who does surrender to the kriyas of kundalini shakti the perspective is radically different from the view espoused by teachers such as Yogi Bhajan.
		For the individual who spontaneously and effortlessly performs kriyas such as intricate pranayamas, asanas and bandhas during their meditation the intentional exercises of the Hatha yogin are a merely a clumsy mockery of the subtle activity of kundalini.

	Kriyatechniques
		Kriya Yoga is the commencement of a focused attention leading to a sequence of completely natural, yet exquisite experiences.
		It may be useful to dismiss a few misconceptions regarding the nature of "initiations." As long as an individual remains centered outside of the interiorized threshold of Om, and thereby unaware of the non-separate quality of Spirit, he is subject to the incomplete (and inaccurate) life-view of the ego.
		Among the Kriyas are five specific pranayams that in a gradual, yet persistent way cause the yogi to align his awareness with the underlying cosmic form.

	Sangjam, or Restraint of the Senses
		Khecharimudra provides a special capacity (resulting in the second birth into the Kriya path), which is required to function in the special procedure which is adopted in the higher Kriyas, and without this capacity, or second birth, Omkar Kriyas simply do not become operative, no matter how perfect one is practicing them.
		Liberal Yogananda was trying to respect the original Kriya tradition by indicating that he was the last Guru, or Master, of his line of teachings since he dropped the teaching of Talabya Kriya, or Khecharimudra.
		In the original Kriya tradition, one is advised to practice both the mudras integratedly and simultaneously to dissolve the operation of the five sensations.

		Some contemporary yoga teachers and gurus lump a wide variety of phenomenon under the term ``shaktipat.'' For example, I have seen teachers of Kriya Yoga infuse their students with their shakti at various stages of the student's practice with the purpose of eliminating blocks in the student's channels.
		These teachers called this practice ``shaktipat initiation.'' According to the tradition of Siddha Mahayoga such infusions are not considered ``shaktipat initiations'' because neither their aim or their result is to awaken kundalini.
		In particular I was unclear about the role of effort and his attitude toward kriyas but on this visit Swamiji was kind enough to clarify that his approach to practice is precisely that of Siddha Mahayoga.
