I was initiated in 1979 and followed through with the Kriya lessons. Honestly, I don't consider myself a proclaimed SRF member, in the very strictest sense... but Paramahansa Yogananda inspired me and helped to ignite a fire in my mind and heart, that will never ever die. :thumb_up:
Organisations have their downside, so I can't be wholly committed to any single school of religious theology, branch of yoga or spiritual affiliation. But definitely, the practice of Kriya Yoga has aided my awareness to bloom exponentially (along with Zazen meditation, Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi Chuan).
Thanx for initiating a head count! I am curious to know how many of our Nexian members embrace this Sadhana. There are a lot of Kriya folks in this fine community, relatively speaking. Be they inspired by the Self Realization Fellowship, Ananda or totally independent of affiliation... the message of Mahavatar Sri Babaji Maharaj is echoed in the hearts of some of our Nexus family members.
Sometimes the brightest souls amongst us, are silently centering on the Light and sound of the Indivisible Divine Being (AUM). when they touch down, it would be fine to hear their voices.
