Drawing from over two decades of disciplined practice and his training under Roy Eugene Davis—direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda—Kurczak shares timeless insights to support the spiritual evolution of sincere seekers. The text blends personal experience, meditative instruction, Ayurvedic lifestyle guidance, and philosophical clarity. A significant feature of the book is its integrated commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali , the classical text that underpins much of yogic thought. Kurczak presents these aphorisms not as abstract philosophy, but as practical keys to spiritual awakening—inviting readers to explore the nature of consciousness through both study and experience. Whether you are new to meditation or a longtime practitioner, this book provides a clear, grounded, and heartfelt roadmap to living with purpose, practicing with depth, and realizing the Self beyond all conditioning. The lineage of enlightenment continues through those who commit to truth, clarity, and inner freedom. May this guide help illuminate your path. Review: What You Will Get and Why You Should Want It - Okay, let's address those (very few) bad reviews showing up here, and then I'll say why I am giving this five stars. Some folks feel that this is 'not about Kriya Yoga'. They are thinking of a specific form of yoga called Kriya that was practiced by Yogananda and those in his lineage. It's true that this book does not talk about Yogananda (though Ryan is in the lineage, himself), or the yogic practices associated with being a kriyaban in that particular tradition. So, if you are buying it for meditation techniques, you will possibly be disappointed and angry enough to write a bad review. However, I doubt you will be completely disappointed because of the good stuff in this book (more on that in a minute). I'm mentioning this so you can discern that kind of book you are looking for, and so you can decide if you want this one. There are books on very specific methods of practice within the Kriya tradition: how to sit, how to breathe, how energy flows, etc. Those are indeed very useful. Know what? use the "Look Inside" feature on these books to see the table of contents, which usually spell out what the book is all about. This book, though, is focused on Kriya yoga as more universally defined as overall spiritual practices that lead to enlightenment. This is not a made-up designation. It's quite valid, but the problem is that many people see Kriya and the interpret it to mean specifically what I think as our "toolbox" of practices and concepts. This book plus a toolbox book would be a great combination. I encourage you to get one of those (or more, if you are seeking to find out which particular method works for you). But Ryan's book is about the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali .... something no kriyaban would consider remaining in ignorance about. The Sutras are the supreme guide for seekers. And the commentary in this book is quite concise and pithy. There is so much to unpack in what appears to be a few simple paragraphs for each passage of the sutras, that any serious student of Patanjali can find value in rereading over and over. If you try to read it all at once you cannot absorb it all (but that is true of any commentary on this subject). I've read it through to get a grip on its scope, and will now continue to refer back on it for a long time as I advance my studies. I'll likely have another commentary or two on the side. But, I'm giving this five stars because I think it speaks quite plainly about what we have to do in our lives to arrive at the stages and development described in that ancient work. So, no, it's not specifically about the practices taught by Lahiri Mahasaya. It is the profoundly about the (largely non-theistic) spirituality and state of consciousness that kriya practices help you arrive at. Ryan includes some helpful tips on meditation and beneficial life practices. I particularly enjoyed the Ayurvedic lifestyle chapter where I learned about the Gunas. Review: Easy to follow and understand basics for meditation and how ... - Easy to follow and understand basics for meditation and how to seek for those who are seriously wanting to. I always find a new way to see something everytime I read it. The information is what I am looking for, to know how to grow and where to focus on making it incorporated in my daily life .You can do any meditation practice perfectly for any length of time, but if you never figure out how that flows into your everyday awareness of God being everywhere and everyone ,how to let go and embrace all that comes to you with love and acceptence , then you have greatly missed the point! The teaching here are very good explanations of the greatest and most important things to know. I have studied christian teaching with Hebrew and Greek writings, Buddhism, and others , if you can not see God in any these but only how you want to define Him, this will not work for you. We must all be willing to see Him as He presents Himself to us and that is in everything everywhere .it is alot to assimilate when we r stuck in our ideas ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,261,494 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #75 in Hindu Sutras #1,703 in Yoga (Books) #5,498 in Meditation (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 182 Reviews | ## Images ![Kriya Yoga: Continuing the Lineage of Enlightenment - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511woTD5hVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What You Will Get and Why You Should Want It *by E***N on November 12, 2017* Okay, let's address those (very few) bad reviews showing up here, and then I'll say why I am giving this five stars.
