Kriology® is the study and practice of the inner esoteric tradition of Kriya Yoga. It is a pathway to wisdom -- a mature, self-directed inquiry into the nature of you, your life, and the universe in which you dwell. It is a system for awakening a direct experience which expands the horizon of your awareness and cultivates greater joy and freedom.

The purpose of this program is to impart the philosophy and methodology of Kriya Yoga and to teach you to utilize the system here and now to improve your life. Its goal is to bring greater clarity of purpose and meaning to your life, to bless you with the strength and insight to be a blessing unto others, to nourish and heal your mind and body, to soften your karma, and assist you in the attainment of your spiritual goals.

Kriology is the study of the psycho-biological and spiritual actions by which the Kriya yogi rebalances the emotional/mental karmic patterns of the past and attains enlightenment. Kriology is a system which deals directly with your mind, its structure and dynamics. Embodied within this system is a mystical psychology which offers a profound recognition of how you create, sustain, and can dissolve the circumstances of your life. Kriya's unique approach focuses on karma, the laws of causation, and how karma is generated and activated, and how it can be softened, modified, and dissolved away.

Kriya is a gentle, skillful, balanced approach to life -- a way of conscious and creative living. It is a methodology of self-reliance, self-discipline, and self-inquiry. An ageless esoteric system which transcends both historical and cultural reference, Kriya Yoga unifies the mystical philosophies which are the foundation of all spiritual traditions. It is a way of self-study and meditative attunement which induces a direct perception and insight into the nature of consciousness, the pattern of your mind, and Life itself. Through the study of universal principles, and the use of specific spiritual techniques, it is a system for experiencing a transformation in consciousness which will enrich your life on every level.

This program offers you the unique opportunity to fully explore the realms of Kriya Yoga at your own pace and in the comfort of your home. Kriology is offered in two levels. Each level is composed of nine months of home study training (which you will have a full year to complete) and is supported by an optional retreat. Each level combines audio-recorded teachings created exclusively for this course by Goswami Kriyananda, with printed lessons, Kriya techniques, selected reading assignments, sadhana practice, and study guides. The program also includes optional four-day retreats led by Kriyanandaji and his disciples. The optional retreats, which will give you an opportunity to deepen your practice and learn advanced Kriya methods, will be held in serene, beautiful retreat centers located in the Midwest.
