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.

Householdership
Kriyananda points out that all of the Kriya Lineage were householders with the exception of Yogananda. Though it’s true that each soul is a universe unto himself, we are a part of Life not apart from Life. As Kriyananda has often said, “Your earth life is your spiritual life.” Therefore being a householder provides us with an excellent lifestyle framework to apply practical yogic teachings to the everyday karma of our life.
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.
