A list of books by Marshall Govindan
Friends, a new video has been released on our channels: A Meeting of Masters. Marshall Govindan & Imram. Many have asked:
“What were the books shown at the beginning of the video? Are they available free of charge?”
Below is the list of books mentioned by Marshall Govindan during the conversation. All of them are dedicated to Kriya Yoga, spiritual practice, the great Masters of Yoga, and the Siddha tradition. The first book on the list is available only in European languages, while the others are also published in Russian.
• The Yoga of Siddha Tirumular (available in European languages)
• M. Govindan — Babaji and the 18 Siddha Kriya Yoga Tradition
• M. Govindan — Kriya Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Siddhas
• M. Govindan, Y. Alund — Kriya Yoga: Insights Along the Path
• V. T. Neelakantan, S. A. A. Ramaiah, and Babaji Nagaraj — The Voice of Babaji: A Trilogy on Kriya Yoga
Some of these titles are available online in electronic format, while printed editions may be purchased in bookshops or through marketplaces.
Marshall Govindan is one of the most respected and influential figures in the contemporary world of Kriya Yoga — known not only as a devoted practitioner of Kriya Yoga, but also as the author of numerous books on yoga, as well as a scholar and teacher.
These books provide, you might say, a roadmap. They do not give initiation into techniques. Initiation is only in person. This is the siddha tradition. Initiation is like someone giving you a powerful automobile. You can go anywhere in it. But if you don’t have a roadmap, you’re lost. So it’s very important that you also receive the teachings that give you guidance about the obstacles and the objectives of practising.

IS IT DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE UNITY WITH THE HIGHER SELF?
Is it difficult to achieve unity with the Higher Self? When Avatar Sathya Sai Baba came to Earth, we asked Him, “Why is it so difficult, Baba? Why is it so difficult to meditate?” He responded that meditation was easy, and Samadhi was even easier. Let’s meditate on the Avatar’s words, for every utterance from the Avatar is a key to self-discovery. Not a single word that Sai Baba spoke, even in passing or in jest, should be disregarded if we seek to understand the Universe. Because He embodies the essence of the Universe and has shown us that God possesses a profound sense of humour.

20 Years of “Imram Kriya”
The Path We Have Walked Together
This year marks two decades since Imram began his teaching journey. The very first seminar took place in 2005 in Makhachkala, with just seven participants 😊
Today, “Imram Kriya” has grown into an international project. More than 100,000 people have attended Imram’s seminars, retreats, and lectures across the world — in Russia, India, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, the UAE, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and many other countries 🌍
The project’s purpose is to share the wisdom of the Kriya method, guiding all seekers towards meditation practices that facilitate self-development and a harmonious way of life.
Twenty years is far more than just a figure. It is a living history, rich with encounters and discoveries, with challenges overcome, trials endured, and moments of joy and inspiration.
“The course we hold is built upon the principle of Unity — the unity of loved ones, of all humanity, and of all that exists on our planet. This is what matters most.” — Imram
Dear friends, this journey would not have been possible without you. Above all, we thank you for your trust, your openness to knowledge, and your striving for self-improvement. This is the path we have walked together. We are deeply grateful to you for practising with us both online and offline, for your questions and thoughtful feedback 🙏
We also express heartfelt thanks to Master Imram and Khadija for their selfless service and for sharing their wisdom.
We look towards the future with optimism, believing that new countries and cities, new acquaintances and encounters, and bright new events await the “Imram Kriya” project.
We wish each of you joy and fulfilment upon the Path! Until we meet again!

WHAT IS THE UNIQUENESS OF KRIYA TECHNIQUES?
The techniques of Kriya Yoga are as follows. When you do certain techniques, visualisations, whatever they may be, sensations, perceptions, body position in space, which are all connected, it affects your bioenergetics. And the bioenergetic, informational component changes your psychology.
All of this begins to resonate with the space of the universe. We jump very high in consciousness. And this “jumping high in consciousness” is very clearly reflected in our body. We connect the two poles. The highest and the lowest as physical. Or the very deep, the very high, with the superficial. Then everything changes.

What is a Retreat?
A retreat presents a wonderful opportunity to accumulate energy, gain knowledge, direct the mind where it is most needed, and form new neural pathways rooted in goodness.
Imram
Imagine more than 400 people practising together, receiving wisdom from Imram and Khadija, undergoing profound inner transformations, and discovering answers to their most compelling questions.
A retreat is not simply an event — it is a powerful catalyst on the path of self-discovery and the conscious shaping of one’s reality.⠀
This autumn, the retreat in Turkey will take place on the Mediterranean coast, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Taurus Mountains. It is a rare opportunity to rest deeply and restore your strength among people for whom Kriya Yoga is a way of life.⠀
Each retreat has its own unique character, yet all share the same spirit: a warm community of like-minded seekers and an atmosphere that inspires profound inner work.
Join us for the autumn retreat in Turkey!
Date: November 5-7, 2025 (Check-in: November 4!)
Venue: Kemer, Turkey

Why do we need spiritual practice
It is extremely difficult to do without spiritual practice in today’s world. The modern world is arranged so that if one does nothing, they go backwards. That is why the holy scriptures, particularly the Qur’an, say: “Two steps forward, one step back”. Why do we need that step back? For reflection, so that we don’t rush. But then two steps forward. And if a person does nothing — he takes two steps back and then one step forward, and in the end, he goes backwards.
Imram
In the article “Why do we need spiritual practice”, Imram discusses how spiritual practice transforms a person and answers the following questions:
• Is it acceptable to skip practice?
• Are there differences between spiritual practices for men and women?
• How does the Kriya method work?
We wish everyone a consistent spiritual practice!
