Thanks
Carpenter Family , thank you . I greatly appreciate your time stamps. Much Gratitude 💕🙏🦋
Thanks
lol I wonder how many people jumped ahead after you wrote that? lol
"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." zen quote
Bro that hits me different. Thanks
Both lowering ourselves and thinking high of ourselves involve ego.
!
What else should you do lol
Hahahahaha.. Without water there is no life... Water play their own role in your body either you are enlightened or not... Doesn't matter.. But the thing is one must know to swim in womb or out of the womb too.
This is one of the best talks I've heard. I'm 62 years old, and have practiced meditation for about 40 years. I've considered that someday I should share my experiences, perhaps a UA-cam channel or book. I've been waiting to gain more experience. But I also have another priority, recording music, which is my first talent. I've also learned that there are many highly experienced teachers out there doing the same meditation sharing, and realized that if a person is searching for answers diligently, they can find information, especially with the internet. After watching this video I feel it is so right on point that I should just make a video saying go listen to this guy. He is already doing what I would wish to say, and probably even better. I am so happy to have found this channel, and now I'm thinking just to focus on music.
!
Have you tried listening yourself?? ; )
Yep. I was thinking the same
have you opened your third eye?
@@ayres6727 lol really dude
It is very hard to find quality information on this type of knowledge when you are a beginner and rely on the internet and books as a source to educate yourself. So this was very much needed and it is very useful to me, thank you very much for sharing your wisdom.
Hey beautiful, I can teach u the way 😉!! Holla back..
thx
Brother Ryan, a very true talk. all answers are available internally, externally it's all Maya. so everyone must go deep inside. its a personal responsibility and personal development and personal elevation. Jai Guru
om
Wow you know the divine gives you what you need when you need it. Totally at this step where with techniques I get to meditative space and I begin contemplation, have not pushed it much. This has helped greatly! Super happy to have found your channel 🙏🏼
still?
Thank you for putting this out there. I love how you explained how its hard to explain your spiritual practice because your whole life is your spiritual practice. That is just beautiful and I completely agree. The concept of of separating your spiritual practice from your secular life is a western one. It is much more balanced and holistic to let your spiritual practice be your life even if others can't see it. That's okay, they don't have to see it, you only have to know it. Namaste.
yes
Love 🌹from India (Bharat )
Thank you ❤️

Hey hey...don’t mistake yourself like this. A teacher always has to speak. It’s up to you to distinguish the real from reel.
Those who know less talk much.When achieve supreme conciousness ,become quiet. forget words .Have only joy joy joy.Om.
@@DSIM_Prakhyathshetty He's not mistaking anything. There are several levels to it and several situations and conditions where something has a place and something else doesn't.
Thank you. I feel safe listening to your opinions without expectation or conditions. Very inspiring. Life can be as beautiful as we choose to perceive it.
; )
Thank you,7 years after you made this video I found it and it shows its truth as I see and understand it and basics for kriya yoga (which I was seeking ).
om
Techniques are like religions, each on their one way working towards the same objective; So, we needn't critique the other, just find our own. That is Sanatan Dharma. Great video!
Thank you Arthur ...fine point 🙏
A slight correction. Once that has been made your comment would be perfect.Techniques are not religions. With religion you need a belief. With techniques you don't need a belief. But yes techniques are like Spirituality. Different path to seek the same thing.
indeed
my search for a right kriya yoga guru ends here. I am so much happy and grateful to you sir. thanks a lot and pranam!
om
Thank you! You have great wisdom. I practice Kriya Yoga from the Yogananda Lineage. Thank you illuminating the differences in technique. Your use of language is very clear and concise, consciously chosen words. Your energy resonates and matches really well with the original purpose and teachings of this path of Kriya Yoga. "REAL AUTHENTIC HUMAN BEING"
By the end of your video I realized the blocks I have been facing in my practice. The EGO can be so tricky sometimes and it hides itself through identification with these glorious realizations in our practice. Thank you again for being honest, I learned so much about my own self. The thing you said about "keeping our practice to ourselves, not telling anyone you are a Kriyaban" that is something you are totally right about and I have had the feeling about that too. Not sharing our experiences with others but keeping our practice personal and sacred. Thank you again God bless you.
"live your life as Kriya Yoga"
welcome
One of the best videos i've ever seen!
om
This came to me exactly when I needed it. I just read Kundalini Tantra and I was feeling discouraged about my abilities to progress in my practice. Prior to I was going off of intuition and having some pleasant progress. Thank you Universe for reinforcing my path.😊
TY
Krishna that's all you need to know
omg this is so good! u have beautifully summarized and done an excellent job at clearing out the murkiness regarding such topic.
thx
What if Kriya yoga was just the yoga of transforming your energies? As a microphone is a technical thing, it only works if there's a power behind it. We may have the most complicated technical organism, the body, and it works only if there is energy behind it... As you raise your energy, you raise your consciousness, as it is the same thing. That makes Kriya yoga somewhat different from the other yogas (karma, Jnana, Bhakti), because you touch the fundamental of who you are. That's why an initiation is needed from a live Guru. He has to set the right atmosphere in you, so that you can "grow" your energies with your practice. It's like a flower, it will only grow if the right environment is there. So is it for human beings.
As for the Guru, one can try to climb Mount Everest by themselves, but it will be much safer and possible with a guide, one who has reached the peak and knows how to get there. You can try to reach the peak of your consciousness by yourself, good luck ! I chose to take a Guru as a guide, because the spiritual path is even harder than Mount Everest. But there is not only one Guru, P.Yogananda was one of them, Ramana Maharshi another one. I am not confused, I am dedicated to the Path and my practice, and not to the Guru, He doesn't care if I love Him or not, I just follow his teaching.
+paul emmanuel renault Beautifully said Mr. Renault. It is clear you understand what you personally require for success, as well as know where to put your ultimate allegiance! Blessings to you.
can u open ur third eye with this?
Ryan Kurczak no the thing is the true kriya yoga is vanished from society in kriya yoga one can raise his kundilini but now a days kundilini guru in our society does not present.all are fake if you think I am this that then okay but I am telling you real kriya yoga is long gone the guru is not awakened his kundilini how he teach his disciple to raise his kundilini.for instance you get thirsty now if you think my thirst is quenched actually it is not so so you have to take water and drink it so all are practical.
Esprit Calme p
@@willkittwk oh now yogananda is limitaded by SRF only? lol.... if he can give without body why he will need minister? He can also do this himself; its the same way of thinking... if dont matter he dont have fisic body.... he dont need minister either..... SRF looks to me like a religion like gosppel people... something like that;... the owners of the secret... we all know that the kryia that SRF teaches is note the total kryia... its a adaptation... its a short mode... sohan for years, and just some kryias... the exercises are nost the complete asanas of kryia too...
The rise up to 15:22, became a pause & reflection moment. My heart, in this moment pulsates with love from the transmission. Pulsating my way to the comment feed for possibly the first or second time in my whole UA-cam career. Haha. Seriously a profound message, and so simple. Thank you.
thx
I need to put this here. Your videos are extremely helpful and the way you deliver the knowledge shows the internal calmness you have attained. Everyone who I learn from is a Guru for me and you are too because I have learnt so much from you. Thanks Guru Ryan.
+Jai Gulabani ; )
Thank you, Ryan! I am so so thankful for this video. I just came across with your book: Kriya Yoga Vichara and I am completely amazed. This is what I was looking for since I read Autobiography of a Yogi, and I really just wanted to let you know that your work means so much to me.
Great. Make sure to apply what you read in there. Take your time and be consistent.
"It's about being who you are as a direct expression of Divine Consciousness". Beautifully spoken.
TY
Yesss!!! I have been looking for this - so I could do some authentic self healing/finding just on my own without supporting commercial meditation cooperations here in Denmark that are more interested in earning money than being helpful. Thank youuuuuu!!!!
; )
Thank you Ryan. I don't know what just happened but I've been sitting and crying because there were a lot of contradictions and confucions along my way of kriya practice. There were times I couldn't sit and meditatate because it made my ego so proud that I meditated 4 hours a day for a couple years and the more I practiced the harder it was not to feel so amazingly spiritual. I tried to make kriya "the most important thing" but it turned out the way that I stopped paying attention to some other parts of life and overprioritised the practice. Well, there were a lot of downfalls. Thank you for being truthful and for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
Did you had good changes I life?
yred
thx
So glad that you addressed this. I always thought that I was doing something wrong because I did not follow many of these techniques I joyfully read Paramahansa Yogananda's full course that Self Realization sends. However, I have done very well with my meditations. Thank you for validating that although its good to listen and learn, at the end of the day we have to follow our own intuition. “Read a little. Meditate more. Think of God all the time.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda
Indeed!
Thank you for the wonderful insight you provided about Kriya Yoga. Your stress on keeping the whole process individual centric and cultivating the right attitude is really enlightening. Please accept my sincere regards.
good
You make a wonderful video, Ryan. Thank-you for sharing yourself with us.
thx
I was initiated by SRF around 2009. I moved to Seattle and found myself by the Seattle center. I loved the meditations there with the kirtan, and worked in the gardens. But I moved further north, never stayed consistent with meditation or the practices. But, I did the 10-day Vipassana adult course, and had a mystical experience in meditation. I also had another another one at a different time. I'll be 70 next month. I have all my lessons and books. I loved learning of Paramahansa Yogananda, and feel connected to him. I want to get back to the practices. I enjoyed what you said here about the practice being easier than what is taught, so I registered for your classes, and am looking forward to beginning again.
Good
Vipassana might have given you the tool to meditation.
Just had my weekend initiation in Kriya Yoga here in Holland. Thanks a million for your videos. Really helpful!
welcome
Priceless wisdom again! People have found a Yogananda in you Ryan. Keep up the great work.
yes
Thank you for this great talk. One day it’ll all make sense. Love, peace and light.

Love this - there is a quiet comfort behind his voice ~ beautiful 🕉💜
there is a Kriya yoga which is original
Hey, why so judgmental? Ryan wants to know

I pray this video reaches to everyone as a form of spiritual guidance to whoever wishes to surrender to the Divine consciousness. Thank you so much for putting this video out on the internet
You're very welcome!
Greetings from Australia. Thank you for such an uncomplicated, beautifully delivered explanation of the Kriya Yoga process; clearly given with much experience, devotion, and love (- this is what I call 'teaching'!) You (your videos) will be accompanying me on my spiritual journey, from henceforth.
thx
Thank you for this video of your 'givingness'. You have certainly helped many people, I am certain, along their path.
Indeed.
Ryan, very well explained and expressed. This by far is the most articulate expression of the expression of Kriya... Thank you..
thx
Just listened to the first 17 minutes and am going to come back later.
Your mind is very clear,- that's not a compliment, just stating a fact :-)
Loved the analogy with the musicians,- SO TRUE!
Thank you!
thx
calm demeanor , elegant , precise and eloquent.
you are progressing sir.
metta to all
similar to vipassana.

17;50 mark for the actual mediation stuff. Your welcome.
thx
Ryan, I've been developing through Buddhist meditation and practice for nearly 20 years. I've never heard of Kriya Yoga or the Patanjali Yoga Sutras but everything you said on this video resonates true.
Thank you...
I second this. And Bhuddism is a little less reading, friend.
yes
I am extremely happy that I found Ryan Kurczak. I listen to him all the time. I sleep to him every night so that if I wake up I can hear him and then fall asleep again. I have been doing Bikram Yoga since 2002. If my IPhone happens to go off I get up & retune in Ryan Kurczak. He resonates with me. Honestly I don't know what I would do without him right now. Funny thing is I met someone who used to live in Asheville, NC yesterday and I live in Arizona. Thank you Ryan Kurczak. Right now I am alone in my life. Maybe it was meant to be that way. Anyways I'm trying to listen to every single you tube of Ryan Kurczak. And of course I've listened to them over again too. They are never boring. I love you Ryan!
They will definitely help you sleep.
Ryan, thank you! I have been meditating for about a year with a teacher and reading and experimenting. I followed along with one of your technique videos yesterday. I tried again tonight. Great! This video is lovely. Thank you for sharing your wisdom in this way. "Be who you are as a direct expression of divine consciousness." :)
+Denise W Of course.
Ryan you have very well articulated some of the struggle that I have faced over last 10 years. Thanks so much for this.
You got this!
Excellently presented: the essence is kriya yoga as distinct from the processes to attain that.
yes
I had an accidental spiritual self initiation occur to me about a year ago; well deep in meditation I felt a massive rush of energy, saw a flash of light, and I went unconscious for about 20 mins. When I woke up there was an undeniable sensation of being bonded to Divinity. I was an Atheist at the time which made it difficult to navigate the territory without rushing to a psychiatrist. Needless to say, videos like this helped me to settle in to a spiritually centered way of living and It's changed my life for the better, thank you.
Ok.
I am so grateful to have found your channel, you’ve broken things down for me in human terms that works for me. Thank you for sharing your gift it has made a difference for me and how I can approach my own path. ❤️✌🏻🙏🌈
good
Being on the spiritual path starts from somewhere, takes you through many learnings, and there's never an end to it. You only keep learning and learning and learning.
yes
I am starting my spiritual path & your video gave me a lot of insights. Thank you so much. You are a beautiful soul
welcome
I agree with EVERYTHING you said in this video. You are great insight on these issues you mention.
Especially at 20:23 when you mention that no guru should expect you to dedicate to him. The guru should dedicate To You!
The advice and insight in this video is so excellent. I'll be back and I will be watching more of your videos. Your approach speaks to me very clearly. Thank you! As a vedic/western astrologer myself, I see great things coming.
!
Really appreciated, in many ways.
THx
It's a real pleasure to have such honesty and practicality in discussing the very personal and individual journey into perceiving what life is. It seems that these qualities are helpful and perhaps necessary when incorporated into one's unique POV regarding the divine. In the end, you are your own savior and you must do the work that is needed, you cannot cheat in this process. Thanks again for sharing your POV, I love your honesty.
om
Thank you Ryan! Your online courses and your book are all excellent! I highly recommend them to anyone who is serious about learning more about Kriya Yoga or becoming an authentic human who knows him/herself.
How about 6 years later?
What a wonderful video! I'm very happy to have found this and look forward to using Ryan as another teacher moving forward on my path. ✌❤🧘♂️📿🕉
Wonderful!
Excellent talk, Ryan. Fascinating and true. Many thanks for putting in the time and giving us these insights. Subbed.
welcome
Thank you so very much for all the information. I’m taking away the concept of expect nothing and let everything be presented to you by the Divine. It will probably be deferent than everyone else.
!
This resonates well with what I have discovered through Sadhana
om
Finding what's really real!! Love that you said that.. that drive and curiosity in me past couple years to find those things is unbelievably strong... It's like all I feel I want to follow...
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you a lot! Many lessons learned, and many intuitions I had were verbalised by you. Gratitude.
thx
Such a cleritty and simplicitty......clean from human ego.......i bow to Simple realisation....and pray for all off us to be bestowed silently in its own time.......Om Tat Sat

Hey Ryan, Thank you for sharing the wisdom. Grateful and putting it into practise. Namaste

LOOOVE and appreciate the way you clearly explained so perfectly what I haven't heard anyone else say and I feel these points are MOST NECESSARY to allow the purpose of all these methods and techniques to bring us all to a beautiful space of compassionate understanding and appreciation of one anothers way of finding or remembering the Truest all one self!! The instrument analogy.. beautifully put!!
Appreciate you!!
Glad you found it. Please share with anyone you feel may also need to hear the message.
You are sound as brother.... I love your energy, approach and intelligence.. Om Namah Shivaya.. omji
welcome
I just have to tell you that I am on the Yogananda path, and your truths are amazing. I have just finished the first 6 months of the Self-Realization Fellowship home course. It would be impossible to turn off the desire to proceed for me. Back to the point: I think you are right on the money, and your thoughts sent delightful chills through me several times throughout your video. That is how I know when I hear/feel/experience God. Well said. I look forward to continuing this process and discovering where it goes. Thank you very much.

BEST explanation for practicing ALL yoga and meditation... especially regarding the "am I doing this right?... " Thank you.
welcome
Such a wonderful video I came across after my spiritual awakening from months, just wanted to say thank you 😇🙏
!
Love it brother. Thanks a million.
thx
thanks for this, I've been hesitating to research kriya yoga on youtube, due the concept of it being passed down by "masters" as the proper way. Your video has confirmed that I'm actually doing just fine, yes there are probably things that i could learn but the basics are already in place and it's more about commitment to the process than learning secret techniques. I will admit that I've worried about this, thinking that there may be things I should be doing etc and your words have given me peace in that regard.
thanks again
good
Thank you very much!! This is sooo profound and I love the down to earthness. Thank you for very practical insights. To trust the students wisdom and encourage discernment like you do is deliberating for me. Thank you for being on my path right now.
not deliberating. let's just say it's a good things. English is not my first language.😀😀
+Ayries Fernee I understand.
leave the "de" out, and you will be saying it exactly right! Love and light to all of us!
Hey I can’t say I agree more with ya bud. And hey really thank you I’m super grateful to have found this material as I start the next phase of my journey. Gosh it’s always right on time huh…… I just laugh right now as I think about it but hey you seem like a really grounded, patient and honest human being. I look forwards to going through you playlists and I believe you mentioned books and something else I’m gonna have to watch again but I can’t wait to learn all I can. Thank you for putting this material out I wouldn’t have a clue where to begin. Stay blessed and stay awesome Namaste 🙏

I found the book Purana Purusha the complete biography of Lahiri Mahasaya by Dr. Ashok Chatterjee indispensable. Dr. Chatterjee was given access to Lahiri Mahasaya's 26 diaries by Satyacharan Lahiri.
Where can I get a copy of this book
how's the book?

Hi Ryan Thankyou for your thoughts on Kriya yoga and spiritual practice. This is in alignment with my thoughts and knowing but I have been looking under every mat to see if there is some conformation which I also know I shouldn't need. Kriya yoga keeps coming to me in many ways. Numesta 🙏

Thank you Ryan. Your practical and sensible advise resonates with me. I was GPS-ing ( God's Promised Serenity) for a teacher, - someone I could trust in my search and you showed up the eve of my birthday! Looking forward to your videos and books, and hope one day meet you as well. Kevin Roth

Very inspirational video! I'm sticking to it for a while and you just helped a great deal with this video, it just adds up so much to my life and growing. Thank you so much for sharing, willing to see more videos from you (it was the first time I stumbled upon your channel, how fortunate)

Thank you! You make me realised some concepts that I did not understand before, the "purging process".

Ryan, I'm not going to share my inner soul progress with people. You're right; this is personal and a solitary process. But I just want to say that you are a very dedicated teacher and I'm luck to find the techniques through you. Thank you and stay in peace.
Anup, it would be helpful to watch the video. He addresses that very issue in the first 10 minutes.
Anup L k There are no rules . I see inside myself anatomically speaking scene my heart pumping my lungs breathing blood running through my veins !!! I share this experience with Other common man , blue-collar workers like myself . I see inside myself when I meditate , I am awareness separate from physical senses , aware , Seeing with eyes shutt !! Seeing inside 👁👁 . Seeing light where there is none . The more I give of myself the better I feel, The more natural , grounded, I need No payment I need no reward , I am that .! I prayed to Patanjali, I I believed , he answered my prayer , I did not petition him , I prayed for guidance , found it in his word , and in meditation , I was revealed to myself , I did pranayama and Mantra and immediately lifted the Vail . Simple one time shopping . Done did that been there . What’s next ? There is only one self
R.G. you are right
When a right person found you should give them all your exprince and lesson
