Eligibility For Receiving Kriya Yoga

Eligibility for receiving Kriya Yoga diksha at any of these places is dependent upon submission of satisfactory answers to the questionnaire enclosed with Lessons. You must also submit the signed Kriya Yoga Pledge of devotion and loyalty to our line of Gurus and the Yogoda Satsanga path.  If you wish to apply for Kriya Yoga, and have not yet sent your answers to the questionnaire, they may be submitted at the location where you would be attending the programmes, to be checked by the sannyasis. If you have already sent these to YSS Ranchi ashram and received approval for Kriya Yoga in writing, please take that letter of approval with you for registering to the location.  As you will note in the questionnaire, to be eligible for receiving Kriya Yoga, the devotee must have been regularly practising the first three basic Yogoda techniques for several months.

All who wish to receive Kriya Yoga diksha at the ceremony, including those who have received the Kriya Yoga Lessons but not participated in a ceremony; and also those Kriyabans who have received formal diksha but wish to attend the ceremony will need to register at the concerned location at least a day in advance of the diksha, and bring the required admittance card to the ceremony. Please bring and show your Kriyaban Identification Card when registering yourself for Kriya diksha and when attending the review
