Before you start, what is Kriya Yoga?
Kriya Yoga
is a simple, psychophysiological method by which the human blood is
decarbonized and recharged with oxygen. The atoms of this extra oxygen are
transmuted into life current to rejuvenate the brain and spinal centers.
Excerpt
from Autobiography of a Yogi
by Paramhansa Yogananda
Kriya Yoga is an instrument through which human evolution can be quickened.

Yukteswar Giri.
According
to the scriptures, your cells break down with every moment, and they are
replaced by new cells. When you practice kriya pranayama your cells are
replaced by Divine cells. The fragrance of Kriya will spread far and wide to
serve as a balm for the headaches of suffering humanity.

Yoga is the jet-airplane route to God.
Paramahansa
Yogananda
The ancient yogis of India discovered that the secret of cosmic
consciousness is linked to mastery of the breath. The life-force (prana), which
is ordinarily absorbed in maintaining the heart and body, can be freed for
higher activities by a method of calming and stilling the ceaseless demands of
the breath.
Kriya yoga (the yoga of action) is also known as Raja Yoga (the royal
yoga) because it is a wholistic discipline including control of the breath,
physical postures, and meditation.
There are two types of Kriya Yoga taught in the world: the first was
introduced by Paramahansa Yogananda during the 1950s in America, on instruction of his guru, Sri Yukteswar, who was taught the technique by his Guru, Lahiri Mahasaya, recipient of
the method directly from the deathless saint, Kriya Babaji Nagaraj. This form
of Kriya Yoga has been adapted for western students and consists of a series of
energization exercises, breathing techniques and a specific meditation method.
There are no postures taught.
The second type of Kriya Yoga was made known by Yogi SAA Ramaiah, often referred to as Yogiar, who received 18 specific healing postures and a breathing technique
directly from Babaji Nagaraj, the deathless saint, during an almost-terminal
illness. Yogiar personally designed and consecrated the only Kriya
Babaji shrine of its type in Africa, situated at the Jadatharaya Institute in
Verulam, kwaZulu-Natal, and taught this form of Kriya Yoga throughout the
world.
It is this second form of Kriya Yoga that is taught by the Jadatharaya
Institute instructors, who have been trained either by Yogiar directly, or by
Yogiar’s direct disciple, Swami Shankarananda Maharajji.
