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.

happiness is the path.”Goswami Kriyananda

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.

Gain and Sustain Mindfulness
What we are today is a result of yesteryear’s thinking, saying and doing. Go within and practice Mindfulness. Open yourself to Inspiration. Think about what inspires you. Write it down and decide how to obtain it and sustain it. Be aware that Life is about the art of timing. Timing is vital. Timing is all.
Interview With Goswami Kriyananda
Pluto Enters Capricorn
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.
