Official Notice Regarding Kriya Yoga Initiation

It has come to our attention that certain individuals, claiming to be disciples of Yogacharya Dr. Sudhin Ray, are performing unauthorized Kriya initiations and conducting online classes without his formal blessing or command.

To ensure the sanctity of the practice, please take note of the following:

No Delegated Authority: Gurudev has not yet authorized or appointed anyone to bestow Kriya Diksha (initiation) on his behalf.

Unauthorized Charges: Kriya Yoga is a sacred gift passed down from Lahiri Mahasaya for the spiritual upliftment of humanity. Be wary of anyone demanding money in exchange for initiation or secret teachings.

Verification: If anyone approaches you offering initiation in Gurudev’s name or seeks financial compensation for these teachings, please notify us immediately.

We urge all seekers to remain vigilant. Kriya Yoga is a path of purity; please protect yourself from those who seek to mis-propagate these teachings for personal gain.

Jai Guru!!!

The Path to Self-Realization Through Kriya Yoga

Practice Kriya. Strive to ascend from your current state of being to higher levels of consciousness. If your efforts remain sincere and unwavering, your Guru will undoubtedly guide and support you. God assures us that He listens to the prayers of all beings and responds to each one, though not everyone is able to perceive His response. Therefore, it is essential to rise from the gross, material state of living to a more subtle, spiritual state.

You will receive as much help as you put in effort. Just as a machine is composed of numerous small parts that are meticulously crafted and arranged to work in harmony, each part assisting the others, when one component is activated, the entire machine functions as a whole. In the same way, when a person’s prayers or aarti reach God, He responds naturally, offering His assistance. The process is as sure as it is inevitable.

However, if you wish to ascend spiritually, you must free yourself from worldly worries. Simply desiring freedom from these concerns is not enough; true liberation comes when you transcend them. Once you rise above these burdens, sorrows naturally dissolve, and you enter a state of peace. This state leads to the ultimate blessing of spiritual practice—Samadhi, the state where all doubts are resolved, and true understanding dawns.

In the early stages of ascension, the sense organs (indriyas) may create obstacles, but once Samadhi is achieved, these same senses will aid the practitioner in their descent back to the material world, now with newfound clarity and purpose. With firm determination and the right mindset, the doors to self-realization—Atma Uplobdhi—will surely open for you.
