Secrets of Shiva Kriya Yoga

Karmic cycles of birth & rebirth are a scientific reality. When a leaf dies, it becomes dust and mud and a new leaf again. When a fruit dies, it springs forth a multitude of fruit bearing trees. Similarly humanity is bound by the karmic cycles of birth and death. A leaf affected by insects will die earlier than a healthy leaf. So how to remain healthy?

Kriya means an action done with awareness. Karma means nature driven action. Natural action or Karma brings you natural reactions from the world & the related Karmic cycles of the cells. But if you do Karma with awareness it becomes a Kriya. Kriya helps you break the natural cycles of birth & death, whether of your primal zygotic cell (called the Jeeva) or all the 37.2 trillion cells of your body. Breathing involuntarily is the method of the animals & natural humans. Breathing with awareness can make you a divine cosmic human.

Oxygen or O2 molecule or Prana is a special gift to animated creatures from the early oceans. Present day photosynthesizing algae, planktons, plants & trees produce billions of tons of Oxygen everday for our consumption. Green life creates an ocean of Oxygen which is the vital life energy of animated world. When we breath air we breath only 21% Oxygen molecules. Rest are non-oxygen elements and chemicals. Most of the air on planet Earth also has toxic chemicals between 2-5%.

Shiva Kriya is a breathing technique to filter the unwanted elements from air and consume a high density of Oxygen through "Mindful Breathing". During the Kriya, dense "Prana" shakti is flown into the 5 layers of the human body - Annamaya (gross physical), Manomaya (mental), Pranamaya (aerial), Vignanamaya (subtle) & Anandamaya (cosmic) koshas. Constant practice of the Kriya will increase the rate of birth of cells till it eventually cross the rate of death of cells. This way Shiva Kriya reverses the aging process of all body cells and organs.

The birth of Shiva Kriya

Shiva Kriya is the cosmic breath of Lord Shiva. As he breathes in and out the Universe expands and contracts. The human body is an instrument to connect to this highest possibility of consciousness. It can be achieved through observation of the breath within the human body. The breath is a portal. Shiva is the most meditative man ever alive. In history, story and in folk lore he is depicted to be a saintly personality who prefers to stay away from mainstream life and engaged in Meditation and Tapas all the time. The only reason he is ever know to wake up and interact with the world is when a true Bhakta (devotee) is in need of his support & blessings. Else Shiva is a renunciate. What does Shiva do in all that deep meditation is a mystery. We can only observe the external happenings in his body and learn indirectly.

A beautiful girl named Parvati, the daughter of the King of Mountains, Parvateshwara, has been told since her birth that Shiva is her husband. After attaining the age of 16, Shodashi, she sets out on a search for him and after much misery finds him in the caves of the Himalayas. Blissfully meditating with his eyes closed Shiva has become a rock. A rock that breathes. As she sat close to that Shiva, she started observing his breath. That it is in a beautiful rhythmic motion. The in-breath, out-breath and the intermediate silences resembled the vibrations of a heart. A cosmic heart. Like magic, Parvati became Shakti in the presence of this cosmic personality. Shakti became a voice inside Parvati.

"Start observing & writing down the breathing patterns that you notice in this Shiva Shareera (Shiva's Body). You have to practice this technique for 108 days and become a Shakti if you have to wake up Shiva from his meditation", the voice said. Parvati took the lotus petals lying around in the ponds nearby and started noting in her own language (later known as Prakrit) the technique of Shiva Kriya - Breath control to achieve self control. It took her 108 hours to write it down and 108 days to practice them. One Kriya per day, till she became Shakti & woke up Shiva from his meditation.

After waking up from his meditations Shiva taught Shakti advanced Kriyas, Mantras & Saadhanas that would help her complete Parvati Janma by giving birth to various cosmic children. These notes are referred by different belief systems by various names. Some call it Sakhee Geeta, others call it Bhagavati Veda, Shakti Tantra, Raja Yoga, Kaala Sthambana Vidya, Kaula kalaa sootra etc., These original texts are hidden within the earths core and cannot be accessed by humans. They can only be realised in deep meditations. The sacred & secret Shiva Kriya is a gift presented to the world via Baba Bonding Center, by this ancient Guru Parampara of Shiva & Shakti.

Mahavatar Baba initiates & the lineage of Paramahamsa Yogananda have introduced many secrets of Shiva Yoga as "Kriya Yoga" which helped the entire 20th century humans to avert a nuclear war and create peace on Planet Earth.

After 2012 a mass awakening of humans has funneled planet-wide interest in Kriya Yoga to search for peace, bliss and tranquility. To avert war and find peace.

In the same Mahavatara lineage, Nandan ji was initiated as "Shivoham Baba". For the 21st century & its new challenges Shivoham Baba has researched & presented Shiva Kriya. Shiva Kriya can be an excellent add on to current Kriya Yoga practitioners also.

Practice of Shiva Kriya helps us divinize our body and get ready for the upcoming Golden Age - Suvarna Yuga.
