Seminar Berlin

You can come to the seminar with any level of training. The seminar is about learning the techniques and mastering the principles of Kriya. It is the best place to start the practice. Master transmits 6 stages of Kriya and important principles of practice at the seminar. You will gain a system of techniques to practice at home.

Anyone who knows nothing about Kriya, but truly wants to practice, to do something for their life, themselves and others, is welcome to start the practice. Your training is not important. The Science of Kriya transforms the body and makes you more fit.

You can start developing at any age. No specific training is necessary to start practicing. There is no serious physical exertion and complicated body positions, as in Hatha yoga. In Kriya there is no such thing, you can sit even on a chair. Master says: “It doesn’t matter at what age, it’s important that you hear about it. So do not doubt. Simply start working on yourself.

Kriya practices do not require you to sit in lotus or anyhow cross-legged. The important thing is to keep your spine straight. If it is difficult for you to sit on the floor for a long period of time, you can sit on a chair or a cushion. You can sit against the wall with a straight back. There is no strain on the joints in Kriya practices.

1. At the seminar, we will energize our bodies. It is important to increase the conductivity of cells and energy channels. If you eat heavy foods, try switching to a lighter diet a week before the Seminar and drink more purified water.

2. When we understand, what we are doing and for what purpose, practice becomes more conscious and the mind calms down.

To familiarize yourself with the practice, you can watch the “Imram Kriya seminar” video on the Imram Kriya yoga YouTube channel, where Master explains how initiation into the 6 steps of Kriya is carried out.

You can also start exploring Kriya from books. The list of books recommended by Master is HERE and also mentioned in the article “What to read for self-development”

3. You can learn the basic principles of Kriya on the website under the section “Science of Kriya”. We also recommend articles about the Science of Kriya.

• Dress comfortably in light-colored, natural fabrics.
• During the practice, it is recommended to sit on a surface made of natural materials, preferably wool. You can use a woolen mat, a plaid, a scarf or just a woolen cloth (preferably 100% wool). If you find it difficult to sit on the floor, take a small cushion with you — something you can sit on comfortably for a long period of time. You do not need to bring rubber yoga mats, as they will be available in the hall.
• You can bring drinking water in a small bottle. There will be a water cooler available in the hall.
• A change of shoes to walk from the changing room to the hall. The shoes should be left outside the hall entrance.
• We will also be handing out notepads and pens at the entrance for you to take notes. You may bring your own notebook if you wish.

The seminar is two days of learning the Kriya principles and techniques. There you will get the 6 stages of Kriya from Master, a coherent system of techniques for your regular practice. The seminar is an initiation into Kriya by direct transmission of knowledge from the teacher to the disciple.

A retreat is a continuation of training, deepening into practice and consolidation of the techniques learned at the seminar. This is a 2-day intensive practice with Master, where you can get his support and ask your questions at satsangs – daily evening sessions.

Before the retreat, you need to attend a training seminar.

There are no contraindications for pregnant women because there is no heavy physical activity in the practice, including in the abdominal area. In addition, you will be able to ask questions about possible limitations and get advice from Master at the retreat.

Kriya yoga is a tool that allows a person to accelerate their evolution. Kriya is the ultimate method of comprehending the Law of the Universe, where the true answer comes from the depths of the inner Self. The eternal and invariable Law of the Universe is expressed as Truth, Righteousness, Unconditional Love, Peace and Calm, and Non-violence. The Science of Kriya is this Universal Law in action. Through this practice, intuition is effortlessly awakened, and you can gaze into the face of your Higher Self. Kriya yoga teaches us how, by controlling the breath, to calm the mind and achieve higher states of consciousness. Kriya yoga teaches us how, by controlling the breath, to calm the mind and achieve higher states of consciousness.

Kriya yoga is the ultimate method of comprehending the Law of the Universe, where the true answer comes from the depths of the Higher Self.

Ten minutes of Kriya practice is equivalent to twenty years of natural human evolution. Fifty minutes of scientific Kriya practice is equivalent to one hundred years of spiritual evolution…

“Most people think that a yogi is a person who has developed his body’s abilities to an amazing degree: he can lie on nails, walk on fire or sit in the lotus position. But the main thing in yoga is the spiritual aspect. The Principle of Unity!

Therefore, it is important to first correct people’s misconception of yoga.

Yoga is the direct path to the HIgher. I declare this with full awareness and understanding of responsibility. Yoga is a reunion with the Supreme! It is the shortest and most direct way to self-realisation. Yoga is not a religion. It is a science in which the Highest Knowledge, from which various systems and directions have emerged, is revealed.”

Meditation is a state beyond the mind, the personality, the ego. It is a state that allows us to get to know and befriend ourselves, to step into higher spheres of self-awareness. No thoughts exist within meditation.

It is the mind’s ability to focus on a High idea.

Meditation is a state when you are very close to the Creator, the Supreme. But there is a distance between you and the Higher Self to which you aspire. An analogy with a fire can serve as an example. Meditation is when you are sitting around a fire, but you cannot get close to it, because you are not yet ready. You enjoy the warmth and love of this divine radiance, you feel warm, happy and comfortable, you are close to it and have the opportunity to enjoy it.

Enjoying and rejoicing in it is meditation. Moreover, the Creator’s radiance constantly gives you what you so desperately need. In the case of the fire, it is warmth, in the case of divinity, it is unconditional love, strength, wisdom, peace, and everything that comes with it.

This is perfection, this is magic… And it changes you.

Initiation is a method of direct transfer of knowledge from the Master to the disciples, the transfer of knowledge from heart to heart. This way of transfering knowledge is very important for inner work — for deep transformation, which is what disciples come for.

Initiation into Kriya is only given at a seminar conducted by Master.

An important prerequisite for initiation is live contact between Master and disciple. During the two days of the seminar, Master imparts to each participant not only information and Kriya techniques, but also knowledge as power, spiritual energy and personal experience.

Therefore, seminar participants feel great changes in their thinking, consciousness, body, and sensations. Through deep work, a noticeable transformation occurs already during the seminar. You will have your own experience of emotions, feeling of fulfilment, a feeling that stays deep and continues to work from inside.

Spiritual power and spiritual knowledge are transferred at the seminar and the retreat. The Seminar is the first basic initiation. This initiation is like embracing a spiritual power, embracing love and the powerful creative potential of Inspiration.

The cornerstone of the Kriya teaching is the direct transfer of true knowledge and experience, through the transcendental transfer of Consciousness from the Master to everyone who comes to him. The person then continues to develop, while the Master helps.

“When you practice Kriya yoga, as you receive the transformation, you understand these processes and agree with them, you have a sense of joy that something is happening. Moreover, often people who have attended the seminar get rid of heavy karma. Through knowledge, through inner work, they come to light.”
