millenniums ago to Arjuna,<br />
and was later known to<br />
Patanjali, to Christ, St. John, St.<br />

and passed down to<br />
practitioners through the Kriya<br />
Yoga lineage of masters. It is<br />
taught in this manner by<br />
properly trained and authorised<br />

Kriya Yoga is particularly<br />
suitable for householders or<br />
laypersons with worldly duties<br />
and responsibilities. The<br />
technique does not involve any<br />
forced or unnatural<br />
withholding of breath, or<br />
putting the practitioner<br />
through torturous or<br />
uncomfortable bodily postures.<br />
It teaches a simple and easy<br />
method of breath control<br />
based on natural inhalation and<br />
exhalation, for purifying the<br />
body’s internal mechanism,<br />
bringing thought under control<br />
and attaining stillness of the<br />
mind and inner peace.<br />
Regular practice enhances health<br />
through the increase of oxygen<br />
flow to vital organs and better<br />
blood circulation, resulting in<br />
more efficient bodily functions<br />
of assimilation and digestion.<br />
This technique also prevents<br />
the accumulation of venous<br />
blood thereby lessening the<br />
decay of tissues.<br />
