About the Event

The sustainer of this universe is knocking at the gates of your heart, trying to enter through the portals of silence and make within you a garden of happiness.

— Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Each year Yogoda Satsanga Society of India monks visit cities around the country to help fulfil the ever-growing demand for Paramahansa Yogananda’s soul-liberating teachings. These monastic tours offer a blessed opportunity for newcomers who wish to introduce themselves to the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, and an in-depth guidance in the YSS meditation techniques for YSS Lessons students.

During these events, you may also avail yourself of the guidance of YSS sannyasis in the application of Gurudeva’s teachings in your daily life.

As every spiritual event gives a new stimulus to one’s sadhana, your participation in these events will rekindle your spiritual enthusiasm, and will also help you to experience the joy and blessings that come from meditating with and being in the company of other earnest seekers.

Eligibility to receive Kriya Yoga:

  • Eligibility for receiving the Kriya Yoga diksha is dependent upon submission of satisfactory answers to the questionnaire enclosed with the YSS Lessons.

  • You must also submit the signed Kriya Yoga Pledge of devotion and loyalty to the YSS line of Gurus and the Yogoda Satsanga path.

Please note:

  • If you wish to apply for Kriya Yoga, and have not yet sent your answers to the questionnaire, they may be submitted at the kendra/mandali where you would be attending the programme, to be checked by the sannyasis upon their arrival in that city.
  • If you have already sent these to Ranchi and received approval for Kriya Yoga in writing, please take that letter of approval with you for registering at the kendra/mandali.

 

Participation in the Kriya Yoga Diksha Ceremony:

All who wish to receive Kriya Yoga diksha at the ceremony, including those who have received the Kriya Yoga Lessons but have not participated in a ceremony; and also, those Kriyabans who have received formal diksha but wish to attend the ceremony will need to register at the concerned kendra  at least a day in advance, and bring the required admittance card to the ceremony.
