Kriya Yoga is a meditation technique based on the science of breath. By practising this technique, we will develop our body, mind and soul simultaneously. We will experience the power of the Divine within ourselves, in others and in the entire creation.
Kriya yoga is a spiritual practice, free from all dogma’s. It can be practiced alongside any religion or philosophical system. It is practiced in a concentrated, relaxed way.
Special event in Germany “Kriya Yoga Festival” on 15 – 16 June 2024 under the blessings of Paramahamsa Prajnanananda!
“Yoga is the art of performing all actions in the state of God consciousness” Paramahamsa Yogananda
The focus will be on the anniversary of our master Paramahamsa Hariharananda, who came to the West exactly 50 years ago to convey his message of peace and all-encompassing love as the successor of Paramahamsa Yogananda. A very special event this time is that the designated successor of Paramahamsa Hariharananda, Paramahamsa Prajnananda, will take part in the festival. This is the first time in 18 years that he has visited northern Germany.
This world-renowned master of Kriya Yoga is the epitome of boundless love, wisdom and energy and represents a combination of Swami Vivekananda, Shri Shankara and Shri Chaitanya. What Swami Vivekananda was to Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Arjuna to Krishna, Prajnananandaji was to his Gurudev Paramahamsa Hariharananda. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda is considered a special and unique master among the saints and sages of India.”
Under the motto “Peace in Consciousness – Peace in the World” you can meditate with us, get to know interesting meditation and yoga teachers, practice yoga, sing mantras and spirit songs together, listen to spiritual lectures, meet interesting like-minded people, experience inspiring shows and artists and learn more about the transformative and uplifting power of the Kriya Yoga meditation technique and the science of Kriya Yoga.
