Babaji has selected a particularly effective series of 18postures, which are taught in stages and in pairs. One cares for the physicalbody not for its own sake but as a vehicle or temple of the Divine.
Kriya KundaliniPranayama: is a powerful breathing techniqueto awaken one’s potential power and consciousness and to circulate it throughthe seven principal chakras between the base of the spine and the crown of thehead. It awakens the latent faculties associated with the seven chakras andmakes one a dynamo on all five planes of existence.

Guru Mantra
Om Kriya Babaji Nama Aum
(The guru mantra of Babaji's KriyaYoga)
Om is pranava, the primordial sound ofthe Universe that runs through the prana.
Kriya is ”action with awareness,” which isboth the vehicle and the destination of practitioners of Kriya Yoga, by makingall of our actions the object of awareness.
Babaji is the Guru ofthe Kriya Yoga tradition, who synthesized its ancient teachings and who hasdisseminated them in modern times. This is the same Babaji referred to inParamahansa Yogananda’s “Autobiography of a Yogi.”
Nama is Salutations or “I call to you”
Aum the primordial sound resonatingwithin
This guru mantra, Om Kriya Babaji Nama Aum, has the power toconnect our pulse to the pulse of Babaji, tuning us into the Grace of thelegendary Himalayan Siddha, Kriya Babaji Nagaraj. Through the mantra hereveals himself to his Devotees. Through its repetition the inner guru, orsupreme intelligence abiding in the crown chakra becomes accessible. The mantrais shakti, conscious energy. It has power, as the Guru transmits his shaktithrough the mantra and the shakti enters the disciple through the mantra. Theroot of the mantra is the guru's word, and indeed, the mantra is a form of theguru himself.
古茹（上师）曼陀罗
Om Kriya Babaji Nama Aum
（巴巴吉克瑞亚瑜伽的古茹曼陀罗）
Om是觉知力，是透过生命能量流动的宇宙初始之音。
Kriya即克瑞亚是有觉知的行动，是克瑞亚瑜伽修习者的工具和最终目标，即带有觉知力进行所有的行动。
Babaji即巴巴吉是克瑞亚瑜伽传统的古茹（上师），他综合整理了古代瑜伽成就者们的教导并使之在当今时代得以流传。巴巴吉就是在尤迦南达的《一个瑜伽修行者的自传》一书中多次提及的巴巴吉。
Nama即顶礼，我求告你。
Aum是内在回响的初始之音。
Om Kriya Babaji Nama Aum该古茹曼陀罗具有将我们的脉搏与巴巴吉脉搏相连的能量，使我们能得到传奇的喜马拉雅瑜伽成就者克瑞亚巴巴吉纳伽拉吉的恩典。通过该曼陀罗，其追随者可以感受到他的存在。通过不断地重复曼陀罗，我们将于位于顶轮的内在上师相连。曼陀罗是沙克提（Shakti）即觉知的能量。上师通过曼陀罗传递其沙克提，因此曼陀罗具有将上师的觉知能量传递给信徒的力量。曼陀罗的根源是上师的话，因此是上师本人的一种形式。
Kriya Yoga is “Action with Awareness.” It is a means of self-knowledge,of knowing the truth of our being. Babaji's Kriya Yoga incorporates“awareness” in the practice of asanas, pranayama, meditation, mantras, but alsoteaches us to incorporate awareness in all thoughts, words, dreams and desires,in all actions. This sadhana has the enormous potential to make us moreconscious human beings. It requires, however, the willingness of the body,mind, heart and will, to align with the soul’s aspiration for purification andperfection. The sadhana of BKY is a collection of 144 exercises and spiritualpractices for Self realization and transformation in all of our five bodies:physical, vital, mental, intellectual and spiritual.
The first objective of Kriya HathaYoga is deep physical and mental relaxation. The body can become purifiedof many disorders and irregularities by asana. The variety of asana grantsflexibility, lightness and buoyancy in the body. The practice of the 18 asanaseries awakens the energy centers along the spine and kundalini, ourpotential power and consciousness.
Kriya KundaliniPranayama deals more directly with the subtlervital parts of the nervous system. The first objective of pranayama is topurify the nervous system and to circulate life energy through all the nervesand subtle energy channels without obstruction. Ultimately these pranayama willawaken the sushumna and direct kundalini upward through it.
Babaji's KriyaYoga Dhyana, demands that truth realized in ourinner consciousness penetrate into our waking consciousness and becomeeffective there. The level of our consciousness determines the nature andquality of the life we live. So, rather than trying to stop thoughts and dropinto a void, our meditations focus on dynamic methods of strengthening thepower of the mind, the power of visualization and stimulate a ready flow of intuitionand inspiration, which can be used in our life. The meditations help us todevelop our power of concentration, in order to orient the whole of ourconsciousness towards our soul.
Kriya MantraYoga is silent repetition of powerfulchakra seed syllables and sound, which stimulates divine qualities. Thispractice tunes one's whole being and turns one's consciousness turned towardthe Divine, and opens one to the a flow of divine energy and grace.
Through thepractice of Babaji's Kriya Yoga , one begins to study oneself and to let go ofnegative habits, desires, fears and other forms of disturbances. One gradually establishes oneself in a new inner Witnessperspective, full of peace and joy. As one lets go of the old egoisticperspective, one’s personality is transformed, and one begins to experienceoneself as an instrument of love and as a superior creative intelligence,engaged in bringing joy to others and making the world a better place.
Babaji's Kriya Yoga is a spiritual tradition, wherein one “wakes up” from“dreaming with one’s eyes open.”. Babaji's Kriya Yoga is a path ofSelf-realization which is comprehensive, as it integrates all of the dimensionsof our life. It is a path of self discipline which enables one to live in theworld with open-hearted compassion.
克瑞亚瑜伽意味着具有觉知力的行动。这是一种了知自性，了解存在真相的方式。巴巴吉的克瑞亚瑜伽将觉知力包括在体式、调息法、冥想和曼陀罗练习之中，而且教授我们带有觉知力地进行所有行动，诸如在思想、言语、梦境和欲望和所有行动中。修习克瑞亚瑜伽可以使我们成为更有觉知力的人。但是这需要我们的身语意和自我意愿与灵魂对纯净和完美的渴望一致。克瑞亚瑜伽包括一百四十四个练习和灵性修习，以实现在肉体、情绪体、心智体、智慧体和灵性体所有五个存在层面上的明心见性。
克瑞亚哈达瑜伽的第一个目标是深层的身体和心理的放松。体式可以净化身体内许多功能不调或不正常。多样的体式给予身体灵活性、轻灵度和活力。十八个体式的练习可以唤醒脊柱内的能量中心以及昆达里尼（灵能），即我们的潜能和觉知力。
克瑞亚昆达里尼（灵能）调息法作用于神经系统更为精微的能量部分。其首要目标是净化神经系统，使得生命能量得以在神经和精微的能量通道内无障碍地流通。最终可以开启中脉，使得昆达里尼（灵能）得以从中脉中升起。
克瑞亚禅定瑜伽使得我们在日常生活中持续保持觉知力。我们的觉知力决定了我们生活的性质和质量。冥想并不是为了停止妄念，而是通过更为动态的方法以增强心智和想象的力量，并激发直觉和灵感在日常生活中的流动。冥想帮助我们提高专注力，使得我们能够将觉知力转向自性。
克瑞亚曼陀罗瑜伽通过重复默念强大的脉轮比加（Bija）之音，激发神性。修习曼陀罗可以将一个人的存在与觉知力转向神，并开启神圣能量和恩典的传递。
通过修习巴巴吉的克瑞亚瑜伽，我们开始了解自己的小我，放下陋习、欲望、恐惧和其他类型的困扰。我们开始逐渐转换到充满平和和喜乐的观察者角度。当我们放下以前的小我的角度，个性将开始发生改变，我们开始体验到自己是爱的工具，作为至高无上的灵性，致力于带给这个世界喜乐并使得这个世界变得更美好。
巴巴吉的克瑞亚瑜伽是灵性传统，目的是使我们从“睁开眼睛做梦”的状态中醒来。巴巴吉的克瑞亚瑜伽是完整的明心见性的道路，包括了我们生活的所有维度。通过自律，使我们能够敞开心扉带着慈悲心生活在这个世界。
The Origin of Kriya Yoga
This tradition flows directly from the Yoga Siddhas, the perfectedmasters of Siva Yoga. Kriya Babaji Nagaraj synthesized his Kriya Yoga fromtechniques taught by the Siddhas, Agastyar and Boganathar. Babaji initiated agreat yogi, S.A.A. Ramaiah into these techniques in 1954 and 1955, nearBadrinath in the Himalayas.
In 1983, Yogi Ramaiah gave to Marshall Govindan a set of stringentconditions to fulfill as a condition to teach the 144 Kriyas or techniques ofBabaji’s Kriya Yoga. Marshall. Govindan had, by 1983, already been practicingKriya Yoga for more than twelve years, for at least fifty-six hours per weekwithout a break. In addition, in 1981 he had completed a year long silence inretreat, alone, by the seashore in Sri Lanka, engaging in a non-stop practiceof Yoga, known as tapas. He told Marshall Govindan that if he fulfilled theseconditions he would be authorized to initiate others into the 144 kriyas ofBabaji’s Kriya Yoga. It took Govindan three more years to fulfill all of theadditional conditions. At that time Yogiar told him simply to wait. Yogiar hadoften said that once he had brought his students to the feet of the “Guru,” hiswork with them would be finished. On Christmas Eve, 1988, in a series ofprofound spiritual experiences, the message came that Govindan was to leave histeacher's ashram and organization and begin initiating others into Kriya Yoga.
Henceforward, Marshall Govindan'slife was directed by the Light of the Guru, (with continuing guidance,inspiration and intuition and insight), which focused on “showing the path toothers.” Beginning in 1989, his life moved in this new direction; doors openedautomatically, and everything facilitated a new mission. Govindan began toshare Kriya Yoga with others, first, on weekends, in Montreal, and then in1991, after the publication of his first book on Kriya Yoga, to persons allover the world. It has been a joy for him ever since to personally share this“light,” this precious spiritual scientific art with more than 10,000 studentsin more than twenty countries, and to train over sixteen advanced students todo the same.
克瑞亚瑜伽的起源
克瑞亚瑜伽起源于瑜伽成就者，他们是湿婆瑜伽（Siva Yoga）的完美大师。克瑞亚巴巴吉纳伽拉吉综合了瑜伽成就者阿嘎斯提亚（Agastyar）和博格纳萨（Boganathar）教授的技巧。他在一九五四年和一九五五年在喜马拉雅山区的巴德里纳斯（Badrinath）将这些技巧传授给了一位伟大的瑜伽修行者S.A.A拉迈亚。
在一九八三年，瑜伽上师拉迈亚对马歇尔葛文登设定了一系列严苛的条件，只有符合这些条件之后葛文登才有资格教授巴巴吉克瑞亚瑜伽的一百四十四个技巧。到一九八三年为止，葛文登已经无间断地练习克瑞亚瑜伽十二年之多，且每周修习时间超过五十六个小时。在一九八一年，他在斯里兰卡的海边进行了长达一年的一个人静默无休止练习瑜伽的修行（称为tapas）。拉迈亚告诉葛文登只有他符合了这些条件，他才能有资格教授他人巴巴吉克瑞亚瑜伽的一百四十四个技巧。葛文登花了三年时间以满足这些附加条件。那时瑜伽上师拉迈亚让他等待。拉迈亚经常说一旦他将学生带到古茹的脚下，他的工作就完成了。在一九八八年圣诞夜，一系列意义深远的精神体验带给葛文登的信息是他要离开上师的静修所和组织并开始教授克瑞亚瑜伽。
从此之后，古茹之光（持续的指导、灵感、直觉和洞见）一直引领着马歇尔葛文登以示世人精神之路。自一九八九年起，这就是他生活的方向。一切都为这项使命大开方便之门。葛文登一开始在蒙特利尔周末传授克瑞亚瑜伽，然后在一九九一年，在他出版了第一本关于克瑞亚瑜伽的书之后，他开始在全世界传授克瑞亚瑜伽。他个人非常欣喜能够与人分享“光明”，他培训了十六位程度较高的学生成为老师教授克瑞亚瑜伽，并将这个珍贵的、科学的灵性修习艺术传授给了二十多个国家的一万多名瑜伽修习者。
