[Jitendra Hydonus]

So many experiences happen through the saving grace of Kriya Yoga.

In the practice we breath in bringing the consciousness up as the energy is brought into the spine. Then breathing 😮‍💨 out slowly and entering a soft landing, occasionally into restful peace. Pause from breath and at times accompanying bliss. The negative and positive polls of consciousness.

It is a blessing though to be with those who have been given the chance and opportunity to serve us with their advice on such matters. I remember seeing Brother Brahmananda at the Self Realization Fellowship Mt. Washington Headquarters. At the time I wondered about him. Did he really ‘see’ and know what he was doing when he gave me advice? I was ‘allowed’ to do 64 Kriyas per setting by Brother Anandamoy. But I also recognized his reluctance to give me that advice. And 108 at some long meditations. Later however, I understood his reluctant agreement to my request. It was just to many for my ability for sustained focus, even though I perhaps 🤔 mechanically practiced them.

Later when I talked with Brother Brahmananda i could only handle 24 at the time, because of service/work duties. I asked him to advice me on the Kriya practice and he asked me to do them several times. And advised me to do 36 per sitting. Later I understood he was guided by the gurus to help me with just the right amount for my abilities.
