Kriya Yoga is a spiritual path that emphasizes the practice of specific techniques and disciplines in order to bring about spiritual growth and realization. It is based on the teachings of the ancient Indian sage Patanjali, who outlined the path of Kriya Yoga in his Yoga Sutras.

The goal of Kriya Yoga is to help practitioners develop concentration and control over their minds, emotions, and physical bodies in order to achieve a state of inner peace and clarity. Through the practice of Kriya Yoga, practitioners aim to purify their minds and bodies, and to connect with their own inner wisdom and divine nature. The practice of Kriya Yoga includes a number of different techniques and disciplines, such as meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), mantra repetition, and physical postures (asanas).
