An annual membership to Modern Kriya gives you full access to over one hundred detailed videos on Kriya Yoga and related traditions (including Buddhist practices and Daoist Internal Alchemy) that are not available on the public facing webpages. These evidence-based practices will help you reach the deepest levels of meditation and lead to self-realization and enlightenment.

There are seven chapters or initiations in the original Kriya Yoga that were taught by Lahiri Baba (Lahiri Mahasaya). New students receive the First Chapter (first initiation) of Kriya Yoga as taught in the Panchanan Bhattacharya lineage (Lahiri Baba’s pre-eminent disciple). The correct practice of the First Chapter of Kriya Yoga allows students to experience pratyahara (internalization), the Tranquil Breath (breathless state), meditative absorption (dharana and dhyana), and samadhi (superconscious awareness). Students who have made marked progress in their practice of the First Chapter may be eligible for higher initiations (subject to evaluation by the teacher).

Kriya Yoga is an oral tradition and the connection between the teacher and the student is essential for the student’s development. As such, interested students receive personalized coaching from the teacher as part of their annual membership.
