Natalia from Moscow has been asking questions about herself and the meaning of life since childhood. Numerous lectures, trainings and books have failed to provide answers. While asking herself deep questions once again, Natalia saw Master Imram’s first lecture on the Internet.
“The second day after that, Imram came to me in a dream. And after that, things startedhappening immediately. I have been listening to Imram day and night. I listened to him in the morning, I became a vegetarian right away. I’ve changed dramatically. So abruptly. Apparently, I got that divine “kick” from Imram in a dream. Not only that, but my 13 years old daughter has also changed. Now you can see for yourself that she is here. Her progress gets better and better every time.
3.5 months ago I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. After a month, I realised that I was not injecting painkillers any more. It was unbelievable. I meditated every day. Even if I didn’t have time to meditate, I would at least close my eyes for five minutes and meditate at work.
Then I saw that Imram is giving a lecture in Moscow, “No Enlightenment”, and I went there, of course. I always knew for sure that Imram was my Master and I would never stray from that path again.
At the first day of the retreat I couldn’t get up from my knees, people were helping me. Imram said “I will see you running soon.” Today, on the fifth day, I am running ahead of Imram. I don’t have any pains. At the moment, I’m just floating like a butterfly. I’ve lost 13kg in these 3 months. Nothing could help me before.
Kriya is a miracle. I wanted to do yoga, but I had never heard that there was this type of yoga. That you can discover yourself through this yoga, make your body young. You’ll see that I’ll be here again in a year and I’ll be completely different. Because it feels so light, like you’re 18. I take advantage of a moment like vegetarianism and I get claircognizance. I had this vision when I switched to vegetarianism, that Imram would have very many schools all over the world.
I approached Imram on the third day of the retreat and said, “Imram, I want to be a yogini, your disciple. This is my dream.” He said: “All right, you and I will agree that Sai Baba will be your teacher.” I said: “Yes, and you will be the Master.
” I want to reach the highest path — to become a yogini. To become a non-toxic cell in this world, to help people.”

In yoga, there exists a concept known as brahmacharya. It is regarded as a pivotal milestone on the spiritual path, essential for further progress. In its broader sense, brahmacharya represents the art of self-discipline, the ability to control one’s desires. More specifically, it pertains to celibacy and a commitment to a chaste life.
From the perspective of yoga of the high path, brahmacharya is not merely the act of abstaining from desire. Rather, it involves perceiving all social interactions and any attachments through the lens of spiritual transformation. This means resisting them internally—in thought, emotion, and action. A brahmachari is someone who does not yield to their desires—not only sexual ones, but all other forms of desire as well.
To illustrate this further, consider monasticism that is often misunderstood as a withdrawal from the world. But authentic monasticism is about inner discipline: this is a retreat not just from the external world, but also from internal attachments, all while remaining present in the world through service.
Brahmacharya entails mastery over the mind and emotions. It involves the conscious control of energy—including physical and creative (or sexual) energy—ensuring it is not squandered. This process is deeply personal. True brahmacharya means using all forms of energy with detachment, without falling under their influence. This is the deeper meaning of brahmacharya.
Many, however, misunderstand it as the repression of sexual energy, rather than its transformation—a mistake that can lead to health issues. That is why, in Kriya Yoga, this principle is approached with greater awareness. Brahmacharya is not a rigid prohibition against sexual relations. Rather, it requires knowledge—an understanding of how to express this energy harmoniously and righteously. If one is unable to transform this energy, it is wiser to embrace family life to avoid falling victim to it. Ideally, one should have a single partner, and the relationship should be rooted in love, with a certain degree of restraint and moderation—but not suppression.
Sexual energy is coarse in nature. Its primary function is procreation and the reinforcement of the ego. It’s an essential part of our existence. However, for those seeking to transcend the ego, this energy must be refined through specific techniques, such as those taught in Kriya Yoga. Kriya-kundalini-pranayama helps transmute this coarse energy into light accessible to higher centres.
Muladhara and Svadhisthana—the lower energy centres that operate at denser frequencies—are the domains where sexual energy resides and is experienced. The consciousness remains tethered to these centres. Yet, through transformative practices, we can elevate this energy through special channels, refining our consciousness in the process. This transformation is what turns sexual energy into creative and transcendent power.
Once this energy enters the body, it is first made coarse by our consciousness, and then, through inner work, it is purified again. This mirrors a natural cycle unfolding within our inner microcosm, governed by universal laws. The knowledge of how to do this is traditionally passed from teacher to disciple.
The transformation of sexual energy is essential not only for those who live in celibacy, but especially for those who live within the bonds of family life. It swiftly elevates people to a higher level of being. This transformation brings strength. Energy is often wasted through mental activities, egotistical behaviour, and unrestrained sensuality. Time and again, we come here through the cycles of birth and death to learn how to master these laws.
If you wish to extend your life and imbue it with creativity, the key lies in transforming sexual energy into a higher power.
Across the many religions, traditions, and spiritual paths—if we were to separate them—the theme of sexual energy transformation appears in various forms.You can explore it through tantric techniques, the “Tao of Love” approach, qigong, or certain schools of Buddhism—the choice is yours. In Kriya Yoga, Kriya pranayama practices help us channel sexual energy to the higher centres and elevate it. This is how this technique works.
