"The more you start to feel that you are special, the further away you are getting from it" - I love it and can vouch for it, haha! :) it is so true. I remember being there not very long ago, until one day I just knew deep inside that this wouldn't take me far; something inside felt off about it and I am grateful for my sensitivity, so became aware of it in a gentle way. I have someone very close to me however, who Really thinks of himself as being SPECIAL - and aren't we all, but that's not the point, right. And I see how this is causing him suffering but - what can I do, all I can do is love him. The funny thing is that I thought of him almost as soon as I played this video and send him the link to it, as soon as my gut prompted me. And here we are a few minutes later, you say this [quote above]! :D I love it... Namaste
Thank you for sharing! I loved how you were able to convey very in depth information so simply. I can't wait to see your other videos. Sending you much love and appreciation.
Awesome! Such genuine content. It is truly assisting my own process. Thanks for taking the time to do this and all these videos. The books and the trainings as well. You rock.
Your "monologue" flows perfectly fine with me. Like mind here. I have to keep telling my hubby not to tell me that "I'm special" because, although I might be "special" to his eyes, it makes me feel uncomfortable...it's a label and, like all labels, is limiting and restricting, I completely agree with you on that, Ryan...I even find our birth names to be restricting...I am an NDE and I learnt so much more out of that experience than I could ever explain in any human language, trust me, I do see your point clearly. Thank you for sharing this Kriya Yoga series, very grateful for this gift.
My mind can understand all that you’re saying. But for some reason I can’t experience being in the present moment. My mind is too consumed by the pain it thinks it has experienced. My ego is still too much in control. But thankfully I have come to the point where I’m willing to learn how to let go and just flow with the river of life.
New to Kriya Yoga - have listened and watched many sessions - am beginning to put it to practical use. Will give comments as I grow and learn. I am excited to reach a higher plane.
Ryan, Thank you so much. I have been reading talks with Ramana Maharshi. Not so easy path. That way even Kriya Yoga does to come so easily as you said. The biggest pain is sitting straight spine erect. But it makes difference in experience. Anyway thank you again for lots of insight. It gives me confidence that I am not the only one who is struggling to advance. finally No pain no gain especially in spiritual path. You rightly said the advancement is not spontaneous as it happened to some of the great saints, but it is gradual. But every increment is blissful
Dear Ebru...I decided not to do the BATGAP interview. Appreciate your enthusiasm, but there would be nothing I would say there that hasn't already been said at least 3 times here!
Oh, okay. I understand. We'll keep getting our Ryan wisdom from this channel. :) Thank you for your time and effort to put these videos on youtube for everyone. They are extremely helpful.
Love all your videos, have been watching them for going on a year now. In some videos you answer viewers questions-where can we send in these questions? Thanks a heap Ryan!
Thank you for this wonderful series. I've listened to your intro to Vedic astrology series and loved it as well. Your contributions to the advancement of Vedic knowledge is greatly appreciated. Can you share any thoughts concerning the difference between Kriya Yoga and TM (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and his program on Transcendental Mediation)? TM claims they have studies (I believe I read that they have 600 or more peer review studies performed over the years) that show TM is significantly more effective than any other form of meditation. I have a difficult time believing their claims and my gut says they are biased studies. However, I have not found much written about the differences between meditative traditions and practices other than the TM organization's promotional material. TM emphasizes that their practice is Vedic in origin but is different from all other forms of meditation and significantly more effective at improving health. I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
Looking forward to listening to this series of lessons! Thank you Ryan! Hey, is that you playing the guitar at the end of this video (and I think you used the same music in your other videos too). It's super lovely! :) If it fits into what you are already planning to talk about, can you comment on if there are different states of consciousness explored in Kriya yoga, like in Buddhism's Jhanas?
Life is suffering is not a fact. Pain is just an objective experience, reacting negatively to it is suffering. Plenty of enlightened people live in absolute bliss and happiness, no suffering there at all.
Thou are that! You need to have a concept of that in order to know. Don't take God out of in man. God is all. Is the path, the traveler and the destination. Love to you my man. You radiate peace, you aura is beautiful.
I was initiated to Kriya yoga in 2006 and couldn’t continue practices or meditation due to work commitments. Do you have a refresher course or similar thing to refresh and star all over again. I am retired now and has enough time for spirituality
Currently reading “I Am That” and it has allowed my mind to shed its illusion but I can’t just sit here and be here. I’m always thinking about this or that even though I know it’s all an illusion
Thanks for your videos, and can you cover in your future videos about astral projection (deep meditation, out of body's feeling, different dimensions), those mystics talk a lot about it , how real is that ? And one more question, about astral projection some Mystics can project into 3rd dimensional world , then most of the Mystics talk about different dimensions , do you know anything about it? Please share what you think.

Yes, and doing work to make the body stronger and more flexible helps with sitting. The role of excercise and hatha yoga.
I look forward to the rest of this series of lessons from you. Thank you very much..dhanyavaad!!!

I'm sure TM is great, but I'm absolutely sure they have a good business model. ; )
Well said. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 @3:10 not a religion, the mechanics are universally applicable.

Thanks for the question. yes, that is an Irish Tune I like to play and decided to spice it up a bit for use with these videos.
It's so beautiful...

Oh Denethor... you distrusted Gandalf too.
@@KriyaYogaOnline No I didn't.
When does he teach how to do kriya yoga meditation?
Like which part
You know.
Hi Ryan! Thanks for this video. Which cadence will have the series? My best wishes.
