You know bky i never really enjoyed meditation or even had a glimpse of what it was all about until i recieved Babaji ' s Kriya yoga. I am not saying it is for everyone or that someone may get something out of another technique and be just as satisfied. i just recall reading your reason for choosing such a name and it reminded me again of how grateful i am.
Maybe sometime you will share with us your experiences with Babaji 's Kriya yoga. That would be a treat. i guess what fascinates me so much is how someone that has such very little public exposure can make such a difference in people's lives.
That is an inspiration itself.
Om Babaji
Well my first experience with Babaji's Kriya Yoga was that an advanced yogi who had taken all three levels of BKY (as well, I believe, some SRF teachings) reached out to me one day, humbly alluding to the experience of samadhi in a way that hinted of personal experience. That goes back years. I'm honestly against some of the sort of eternal membership requirements and other rules in SRF, so BKY seemed like a natural fit. Some don't see SRF as very strict at all, but I would feel less like a Kumar (of Sri Yutkeswar's ashram in AY) if I didn't take their Kriya. That said, I do value the non-Kriya lessons of SRF. SRF is part of the "etc" of my screen name.
There's a diversity among the Order's Acharyas. I've taken level 1 initiation twice, the second time being more by the book. What's nice about BKY is the variety of techniques even in the first level, and I get the most mileage out of the pranayamas. That said, the asana practice, while wonderful, might not be for everyone, though the energization exercises of SRF might indeed be for a greater number of bodies.
