Kriya Yoga Meditation Series 2023 - April l2 at 7:30pm in the Golden Lotus Temple
In this first of our series we will explore the roots of self-subjectivity through Sahaja Sadhana and self-effort on the sacred path of yoga.
“The self is endowed with the power to guide itself to the realization of absolute perfection. And the self, having fulfilled its divine duty by revealing cosmic illumination at Sahasraram, merges in the limitless, luminous dynamic stillness. Verily, with self-mergence in the infinity of effulgent pure-consciousness is realized the absolute Self in conscious bliss.
“Regarding this a Rishi, a sage of self-realization, said: ‘Through meditation I realized all the steps of self-unfoldment. Numberless accumulated finite concepts of long past imprisoned my consciousness in self-limitation. But with devotion and determination, I finally regained my freedom in the perfection of the Self.’”
