I Am Everywhere Always!
Lineage is the line of individuals that have been passing the “Light of initiation” or “secret to Life” from one generation to the next. This procession keeps the flame of a Yoga system burning so that it continues to produce the intended results. Using history as a gauge to test the integrity of a Yoga practice is helpful and distinguishes it from secular and “self made” systems. The mysteries of the universe have been handed down verbally from teacher to student.

Kriya Yoga is Union with the Divine; “The eight essential stages of Yoga” are a complete holistic health management system that translate into a path of action, a path of knowledge, and a path of devotion. These lifestyle strategies are designed to initiate a process in physiological, psychological, and spiritual development that unfolds in three phases: pre-personal or unconscious awareness, personal or self-conscious awareness and transpersonal or super-conscious awareness. Total Consciousness is the goal of Yoga.” Kenneth Toy (Swami Jayananda)
Kriya Yoga has the support of a Lineage and is a traditional system of Yoga to obtain Enlightenment. As a Spiritual Science, Yoga becomes a path of liberation from the material law of karma into Self Realization. It all begins with the Union of an individual with the Divine.
Spiritual Law is different than material law. Spirit is absolute, omnipresent, and omnipotent. In the Light of Divine Truth there is no ignorance. Darkness is ignorance. Divine Light dispels darkness.
