Home - Temple of Kriya Yoga

Kristyn and Alison’s teachings prepare you and your body to best receive and absorb Goswami Kriyananda’s New Awareness teaching, available now as a bundle of 6 lectures for only $19.95. Kristyn and Alison will release a new yoga practice each week that will set the stage for Kriyananda’s Sadhanas so that, together, we can learn to perceive differently.

Journeying with one another and learning from each other is truly one of the deepest intimacies and honors on our individual paths to spiritual fulfillment. Enjoy these conversations with a variety of other “modern mystics” from various faiths, vocations, and backgrounds.

We hope you will join the conversation, too, by sharing your insights, experiences, and questions at kriya@yogakriya.org.

Goswami Kriyananda

We invite you to join us on our spiritual journey along with our Founder, the late Goswami Kriyananda. Kriya Yoga is a series of techniques for living your life, so that you will be happy and content. The philosphy and principles of Kriya Yoga dovetail wonderfully with any religion.

Goswami Kriyananda was the Founder and Spiritual Preceptor of the Temple of Kriya Yoga. He taught the concepts codified by Patanjali in the late BCE period. Active in Chicago for more than 50 years, he was a prolific writer and speaker, not only at the Temple but in seminars and workshops in France and Italy in addition to many different engagements in the United States. His warmth, humor and wisdom live on.

Temple of Kriya Seminary

Are you called to the life of service?

Are you called to the life of ministry as a swami (ordained yogic priest)?

The call to the ministry is a high, noble and holy calling. The Divine calls you to this exalted office. As the call comes, the heart of the messenger readily responds. If these words ring true in your heart, the Temple of Kriya Seminary may be the next step upon your path.

Sunday Noon Meditation

Death, Dying & Rebirth Meditation

Goswami Kriyananda October 27, 2024

In this Noon Meditation preceding the Death, Dying and Rebirth Ritual at the Annual Blessing of the Departed on November 9th, 2003, Goswami Kriyananda asks us, “Do you have regrets?” He points out that we should have regrets if we have gained wisdom over time. Our recently departed loved ones likely also have regrets. For a time after their passing we can communicate to them and offer them encouragement and help smooth their transition to their new circumstances.

Interview With Goswami Kriyananda

Pluto Enters Capricorn

Goswami Kriyananda September 30, 2024

This interview was recorded in 2008 when Pluto entered Capricorn. This November 19th, 2024 Pluto will exit Capricorn for the final time after approximately 16 years of activity. We thought it would be interesting to go back and review what Kriyanandaji had to say about it upon entry, and what it could mean.
