My husband (Iconoclast) and I have recently been studying about kriya yoga. We find it to be very fascinating, and very much in sync with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and other scientific studies of the brain and consciousness. We also find it to be profoundly in agreement with Jesus' most important message about the all-encompassing nature of divine love, and about letting go (dying) in order to be truly alive.
Thank you for posting that link.
Do you think, however, that the title of this thread goes a little too far? To call it the "real solution" is to go against the very philosophy being promoted, because this philosophy acknowledges that there are many diverse paths to the one truth. Paramahamsa Yogananda (whose institute is referenced on the site) says that the whole goal of kriya yoga is to gain Christ consciousness (unity with God) through intimate prayerful contact with God. It is not a philosophy that is at odds with Christianity, which the title of the thread tends to insinuate. Yogananda talks much about how St. Paul had this Christ consciousness, and we know he didn't use kriya yoga specifically as a method toward that end. In other words, the "real solution" is unity with Christ, not one particular method or another for achieving that unity.
Thanks,
Semeia
