If you understand the need for certain basic attitudes, you’ll go much faster in Kriya. Those attitudes include attunement with the guru, devotion, renunciation of attachment and desire. You can’t easily achieve these attitudes just by reading the lessons; much is gained by a processes of osmosis, by mixing with others who are steeped in the teachings, by absorbing them into yourself.  — Swami Kriyananda

If you are a disciple and have a regular daily meditation routine, you are welcome to begin your preparation for Kriya with this first-level course, which includes new insights into the practices of Energization, Hong-Sau, and chanting, and additional techniques that will help you prepare your energy body for Kriya. For admission contact kriya@ananda.it.

Kryia Yoga is not given until the devotee has practiced other highly advanced techniques first, preparing his mind for the greater blessing of that highest technique. Experience has shown me the necessity of this general rule. It is very good to have devotion. Devotion plus determined effort in the right direction, cannot fail to take you to the goal you are seeking. Paramhansa Yogananda in a letter to a disciple, 1951
