Frequently Asked Questions

Kriyayog Mission Foundation (Brahmadivya Sadhana Kendra) is a spiritual organization dedicated to teaching Mahavtar Babaji's Kriya Yoga and spreading spiritual awareness through ancient yogic practices while promoting social upliftment. We conduct courses, satsangs, and charitable activities across India.

The foundation was established by Maa Rudratmika, a devoted practitioner of Kriya Yoga in the lineage of Mahavtar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, and Sri Yukteshwar Giri. The mission carries forward the ancient tradition of Kriya Yoga for the spiritual upliftment of all seekers.

We have ashrams and centers across India. You can visit our Ashrams page to find the nearest center to you, along with contact details and visiting hours. Each ashram offers regular satsangs, meditation sessions, and spiritual programs.

You are welcome to visit any of our ashrams during designated visiting hours. We recommend contacting the ashram in advance to confirm timings and any special programs. Overnight stays may be available for serious seekers - please inquire directly with the ashram management.

Kriya Yoga is an ancient meditation technique that was revived in modern times by Mahavtar Babaji and taught through a lineage of great masters including Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteshwar, and Paramhansa Yogananda. It is a scientific method of self-realization that accelerates spiritual evolution through specific pranayama (breathing) techniques, meditation, and devotion.

No prior experience in yoga or meditation is needed. Kriya Yoga is open to all sincere seekers regardless of age, gender, religion, or background. We offer introductory programs that prepare you for the practice. The only requirement is a genuine desire for spiritual growth and willingness to practice regularly.

While most popular yoga focuses on physical postures (asanas), Kriya Yoga is primarily a meditation and pranayama-based practice focused on inner transformation and Self-realization. It works directly with the life force (prana) and spine to accelerate spiritual evolution. It is considered the highest form of Raja Yoga.

You can browse our available courses on the Courses page and enroll online. After registration, you will receive course details, schedule, and any preparatory materials. Some courses may require attending an introductory session first. Contact us if you need guidance on which course is right for you.

Yes, many of our courses and satsangs are available online for seekers who cannot attend in person. Online courses include video sessions, guided meditations, and interaction with instructors. However, the initiation ceremony (diksha) for advanced Kriya practices may require in-person attendance.

Our spiritual education follows a structured progression: 1) Introductory Workshop (open to all), 2) First Kriya Initiation (basic pranayama techniques), 3) Second Kriya (advanced techniques after regular practice), 4) Higher Kriyas (by guru's guidance based on sadhana progress). Each level builds upon the previous one.

Some introductory programs are offered free of charge. Advanced courses and workshops may have a nominal fee to cover organizational costs. Kriya initiation is traditionally offered without charge as a spiritual gift. We never want finances to be a barrier - please contact us if you need assistance.
