Kriya Yoga Energization Exercises with Swami Bodhichitananda 

I am currently reading The autobiography of a yogi, that's where I found out about kriya yoga. This was my first time experiencing it and I must say it was quite a multidimensional experience. I never felt more grounded and peaceful, ever. Thank you!

Finally! Finally i found a video on how to get started with Kriya yoga.

I didn't know this was secret. I learned it all 40 years ago in my 20's.

Thanks to India for giving the wonderful yoga and Pranayama to the world. It has been an integral part of Indian hindu culture for thousands of years.

I found this video years ago and found the exercises work so well that I would always recommend them to others. I forgot about it and just endured fatigue instead. I found it again today, after searching through many other video listings because THESE EXERCISES WORK and are taught so peacefully and gently here by Swami Bodhichitananda. Thank you.

1. Double breathing with tension 12:00 2. Calf recharging 13:48 3. Calf/forearm/thigh/upper arm 15:11

Thank you for making the energization exercises so clear. Jai Guru!

Thank you Swami Bodhitchitananda for your explanations and teaching skills!! Answer to a prayer:)

Wow. My body is being flooded by waves of indescribable BLISS!!!!!!

This is my first time watcing this video. I am standing in my kitchen, listening very closely to the medulla oblongata part that is mentioning the part where you say "imagine a bright golden light" at your third eye area. well the most intense, bright light was shining through my kitchen window while i was doing the EE exercises. I have lived in my house since May 2017 and i have never, once seen the sunset. I must say i felt as if that was a sign. I am currently in isolation at my house due to the pandemic and it is probably at least 30 days into it we are on a stay at home order, but not until today, at 7:45 p.m. on this day, Saturday, April 25th, did i see that beautiful bright golden light. i will make time every day now to practice the EE and hopefully i will see that amazing sunset while i am practicing. I am so blown away that i had to share with everyone. I so believe in signs and i was given an amazing one today, there are no coincidences. Love, light and healing energy to all during this time. Namaste' Wendy

Thank you swamiji,I referred many people to any correction in kriya yoga,to watch this video,its very easily to understand. Om kriya babaji namah.

Prayer: Heavenly father. It is thou who just directly sustain my body. Awaken within me conscious will, conscious health, conscious vitality. O eternal youth of body and mind, abide in me forever and ever.

Thanks so much Swami.

Thank you so so much for posting this video Swamiji. As an ordinary and novice in Kriya yoga, your techniques help me in many ways.Pranam Swamiji. OUM.

Thank you for allowing me to receive and share your knowledge and wisdom. Love Peace and Happiness. Namaste

Thank you Swamiji, the introduction was so inspiring. Thankyou for doing this video. Its soooo helpful to see and do the right way of performing these energization exercises. I took this yogada lesson in 1987.

I am reading these days "An autobiography of a yogi" written by Paramhansa Yaganandji. Lots about Kriya yoga revealed in this book. This prompted me to know about it more. These exercises will be helpful i hope. Thank you Swami Bodhichitananda ji and YogaVidyaEnglish. :)

Exercises taught in this video can be easily grasped and done with proper understanding.Thanx for teaching with great patience.

If all of us can learn and practice kriya yoga meditation or any other similar ones; I am sure there would no more be wars wars in this world!

Thank you Swami Bodhichitananda, I by chance found the book autobiography of a Yogi and in it found a paper for SRF.... Within that finding (someone who's never done yoga of any kind) found Kriya Yoga. I really wanted to join tonight's session and was desperately looking for the beginning exercises to be able to follow along... I must say this is so well laid out and explained, that I feel excited and blissful for this experience daily! Thank you thank you for being a beacon of knowledge and love ✨ -Namaste 🥰

Swamiji yoganand Was great kriyayogi. Doing all exercises regularly. Then why he expired at the age of 58 .God bless you.

Amazing ! I love the fact that it can be done while you are traveling, at work, in the airline, waiting for the kids, waiting in line, even while waiting for your spouse!

thank you Swamiji ! May our Master Paramahansa Yogananda keep inspiring us and may we continue with great devotion all of his teachings . from Guatemala High Hills I pronam you! hope someday soon I will be able ti come to The Holy Himalayas !

Gracias Swami Bodhichitananda!! por compartir estos ejercicios asi como tu experiencias como monje. Bendiciones

Excellent - Very clear, Thank you.

I love this video. This is the only video I found that it detail explains the energization exercises. I have seen this video several times. Thanks for your sharing.

Thank You So Much Swami Ji for recording this video may god help you in your spiritual journey to reach divinity.

A very useful video about great Kriya Yoga, thanks. Namaste

Thank you swamiji for the beautiful session 🙏🙏🙏

this video is awesome... kindly give me permission to translate this video in hindi for indian viewers.

Thnk U 4 explaining so beautifully 🙏🌷❤️🌷🙏

बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद स्वामी जी .... क्रिया योग के विषय में आपका मार्गदर्शन बहुत लाभदायक है....

Thank-you kindly Swamiji, Jai Guru!

I really appreciate your explanations, it helps to see the technique in a video.

God Bless You! Thank you..

Swami ji you explained all the Energization techniques very well.. And jn detail.. Thank you so much for this video.. 🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Thanks for teaching exercises. God bless you.

I've never seen anyone do these exercises with such long (3 second open, 3 second closed) pauses. This is great if your not a householder, i guess. I have limited time each day... I've done these religiously for weeks on end, then dropped them entirely, then come back to doing them again. They definition make a difference. What i have not determined is if they make enough of a difference that they justify the meditating time i lose every time i do them. I've basically settled on doing then once per day. The decision results in 15 minutes more meditation time per day

Thank you for explaining in detail each exercise. That really helps to do it properly. The other ones on youtube don't do that.

Thank you for posting Swamiji!

Thank you Swamiji. When is your next video coming? I am learning Kriya exercises from your video. Thank you once more for posting this very useful video. Waiting eagerly for your next video on Kriya meditation.

Hi, around the 3 minute mark and following, here is the historical timeline. Yogananda left India in 1920, and at that time, Bishnu was not practicing yoga, weightlifting, or anything of the sort. Bishnu began his training under Professor RN Guha Thakurta, whom Sananda had introduced him too, in 1922, at City College in Calcutta. Bishnu trained at Ranchi for a couple of years prior, under Yogananda, and then went to school at Scottish Church College in North Calcutta, on Cornwallis Street, the same school which Yogananda had attended, until 1922. Bishnu, by his own account, in his 1930 book, prior to his taking up training in 1922, was, at nineteen years old, “a weakling.” He weighed “only 68 pounds” and was a mere “25 inches around my chest.” Otherwise, very interesting, thanks.

Thank you so much for this swami 🙏❤️ the first time I am trying this with you is such a healing and beautiful experience. 🌷

Heartfelt gratitude to you swami ji ❤❤

Yes I really like it as well. If we could remove that advertisement would be great. Best regards good people!

Very informative and clear. Thank you Swami

Thank you for your effort, now I have a clue of what Kriya Yoga is. But it´s difficult. I might do some of them. But all the tension exercises are a bit dificult. But Im allready so tired

Thank you v much Guruji 🙏❤️🙏.......

Swamiji धन्यवाद

So helpful !! thank you so much Swamiji !!

wonderful! thank you

I am a student of Paramhansa Yogananda. I still feel that his teachings should not be broadcast outside of SRF due to the intimately spiritual lessons guiding along this path.

i have been looking for these exercise demonstration in video form as i had forgotten its practise. this invaluable. thanks swami bodhichidanand a millions. this demo is more than million words. \ manubhai patel marlboro, nj i would like you video on kriya practice which i have never got correct!!!

Thank you for sharing this 😊❤️

Proud to be a hindu... Jai sri ram 🙏🙏

This is very good, I read the Auto biography of Yogananda, I was delighted with the book, I have this excesses printed but to see it in a video it's great your explanation is very clear your work very good, it reminds me I want to go to India to practice more of kriya yoga, is it possible? I am looking for a deep yoga practice in kriya and kundalini, chakra work. Thank you very much Swami Bodhichitananda

Lots of love❤

this is great! thank you!

Thank you

I am just amazed that this simple trick will help speed up karmic process ? Please can u reply guruji

Innthree years i entered Samadhi ❤

I say this because I am a professional TCM Dr. and I did learned and do some qigong, but mostly already forgot, because lack of maintenance, group exercise, and lack of material update too....and now, I think qigong maybe wrong, at least not fully good for all to learn and practice...good and better is to learn yoga, cause like these forms, is simpler than Qigong, which needs highly focus, long time practice, and it also demands real qigong moving object and subject results, and even medical results, the ask for results is very high, compare with yoga, just for self, there is no pressure too...this is alao benefit of yoga...so, it attracted a lot ppl and some clothing brand is even prosper from this alone so much, is evidence it is better ones....

I love the energetization exercises a lot 🌞🕊🙏🏿

Jai guru dev

Thank you,, wonderful...

Thanks ! really helpful !

Thank you so much this great vedio.

thank you 🙏

Chinese Qigong also good, and learned or formed much meditation too, but we seldom have the great spirit to share openly like the Indians, therefore, seldom really get them....

please with great respect to Paramhans yogananda we have learned this exercises through video only and these are beneficial no individual can claim copy right on this if you neatly observe u would understand these exercises are commonly used PREPARATORY (PURAK) for all yoga classes. even entire kriya yoga is practiced in India under different names unfortunately under the name of secrecy commercial market has opened. Tree has to grow and produce more trees its law of nature.

very nicely explained,thnx

The energization exercises used to be taught routinely at the LA convocation to the attending public by SRF without any contract to limit its spread. I attended such a session in 1973. I do not understand shivamahadev's objection and accusation. Swami Bodhichitananda is duly crediting Pujya Paramhans Yoganandji Maharaaj. Last but not least I hope and pray fellow Kriyabans remember their heritage of knowledge being transmitted from guru to disciple without the modern copyright laws or corporate intermediaries. We are all blessed by the ancient seers for not copyrighting their material.

Thank you very much like the same

Jaigurudev 🙏

I love this Swami.

10:55 start of exercises

Ashirvadam swami

You have very rhythmic voice.

Gratidão!

Thanks a ton

You Aura. Has. Me. Mesmerized .

i have a question here and will be highly happy to get the answers..after these practices along with those mudras(khechari, talabya, maha mudra, mula bandha etc).. how long it takes to start the actual core KRIYA process? i know that there are some or many very confidential and secret kriya methods.. how long does it need to get upto that???

this maybe helpful for cancers too...to getting smaller and smaller....eventually, disappeared....it is actually, all, about lack of exercise and awareness of how to get rid of it....

FYI, it seems a couple exercises were skipped over: #23 arm recharging (from shoulders), and #25 arm recharging (from forehead)

For almost a minute, I saw a white light around you. Couldn't see after that

Is this also the actual Kriya yoga technique or the preparation for it ??? Thanks for answering my ignorant question !

Thanks for sharing!
