Paramhansa Yogananda described Kriya Yoga as a science in his Autobiography of a Yogi. Rooted in the inner yogic teachings passed down by advanced yogis since ancient times, Kriya Yoga has been systematically taught by a lineage of Kriya Masters for over 150 years.

A fundamental aspect of any science is that its principles must be verifiable—demonstrable through consistent practice and experimentation. In his only book, The Holy Science, Sri Yukteswar, Yogananda’s Guru, affirms that “until the heart's natural love is awakened, it isn’t possible to progress on the spiritual path.”

During this Kriya retreat, let’s take a deeper look at how and why these two pillars—science and heart, or devotion—come together for true spiritual growth. As Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
