Self-Knowledge, Desire & the Daily Practice of Kriya Yoga
Description
In this satsang held on Babaji Day, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri speaks on the nature of the Self, the cycle of desire, and how Kriya Yoga supports self-realization. He shares stories from his own life—reflecting on desires for things, relationships, and status—and how those shifted over time.
Drawing from the teachings of Shankaracharya, he explains that the Self cannot be known through books or description—it can only be known through itself. He speaks on the reality of reincarnation, the astral and causal realms, and the significance of practicing purification, asana, and focused concentration.
Yogivah Giri also gives direct, practical advice on how to maintain morning meditation, stretch the tongue for Khechari Mudra, and persist through physical discomfort during practice. With personal anecdotes and steady reminders, he emphasizes that true meditation begins when the kriyas end, and that self-realization is not only possible—it is the purpose.
