Kriya is derived from the Sanskrit word. Kri meaning action and ya meaning awareness.
Kriya Yoga is a process of cleansing the body, prana and mind. When the mind is purified Meditation (Dhyana) happens automatically. You reach a state of Shoonya and many can experience the state of Samadhi.
Kriya Yoga involves energisation techniques which can vitally recharge every cell in the body. Kriya is practised with total awareness, with the purpose of awakening the chakras (energy centres) in the body, purifying the nadis (energy channels) through which the prana energy flows, thus effecting the rising of kundalini shakti and leading to conscious awareness, means awareness of Jeev-atma.
The kriyas are designed and taught so as to bring about an awakening of the kundalini in stages, rather than abruptly.
Kriya Yoga offers a safe method of gradually developing awareness and awakening the dormant faculties within. Kriya Yoga helps the individual to tap latent sources of inspiration and higher states of consciousness. Regular and sincere practice of Kriya Yoga brings about an increasingly wider perspective of selfhood.
Self-realization replaces ego-consciousness, and activity becomes a means of expressing loving service to creation.
Wisdom Pointer:

Be wise to choose your Guru in this path particularly..
