Introduction
Throughout the ages, certain sacred lineages have preserved not just techniques, but the living essence of spiritual awakening. The Kriya Yoga tradition represents an unbroken river of divine wisdom, originating from the primordial source of Adi Guru Shiva, flowing through enlightened sages and masters across millennia, and continuing vibrantly today through contemporary custodians like Pujya Sri Dr. Gurumurthy Guruji.
This golden thread of transmission connects the Himalayan caves where Shiva first revealed the science of Yoga to humanity, the forests of South India where Agastya established the Siddha tradition, the secret ashrams where Babaji preserved the practices through centuries, and finally to modern practitioners around the world through Paramahansa Yogananda’s pioneering efforts.
