The practical means by which life's aims and purpose can be accomplished have been taught for centuries by enlightened teachers. With this book, the transmission of this helpful knowledge continues. Kriyas are "actions" performed to resist, weaken, and remove mental and physical conditions which blur, distort, and restrict our awareness. Removal of these obstacles allows yoga-the return of awareness to its original, natural state of wholeness-to be consciously realized.Because attentive practice of Kriya Yoga methods purifies the mind, improves overall health, clarifies awareness, increases receptivity to grace, and quickens spiritual awakening, it is referred to as the path of light. These principles and practices are based on natural laws that can be discovered and verified by anyone.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Roy Eugene Davis
Roy Eugene Davis (born 1931 in Leavittsburg, Ohio) is an American Kriya Yoga teacher. Davis was ordained by his guru in 1951 and was appointed as the minister of the Phoenix, Arizona, Self-Realization Fellowship Center in March 1952, shortly after Yogananda's passing. In late 1953, aware of a need to learn to live effectively in the secular world, he withdrew from the organization--but not from his relationship with the Kriya yoga tradition. After 2 years in the U.S. Army Medical Corps at Fort Riley, Kansas, he began his mission as an independent teacher, traveling throughout America to lecture and present classes in dozens of cities. In 1964, he lectured to large audiences in 8 cities in Japan under the auspices of the Seicho-No-Ie movement founded there by Dr. Masaharu Taniguchi. Another lecture tour was sponsored in Japan Seicho-No-Ie in 1978 and a few years later in Brazil. Some of his books are published in nine languages, with more than 40 different editions in print in the U.S. and several countries. He is also the publisher of Truth Journal magazine and writes monthly lessons for CSA members around the world. Davis moved to Lake-Mont, in Northeast Georgia, in 1972 to establish The Center for Spiritual Awareness as a permanent base for his ministry. The first name of this organization had been "Christian Spiritual Alliance".
