Now Available! Featuring -
Exclusive translations by Chris (pdf) of key passages drawn from unpublished Tantrik texts and a sacred, guided Invocation-Meditation (Sanskrit) particular to our topic.
Part I Description:
We begin this series by investigating the practice of Kriyā Yoga brought to the West in 1920 by Paramahamsa Yogānanda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. Yogananda’s lineage claims ancient roots for this prānāyāṃa-based practice; Kriyā is presented as a scientific technique that leads to liberation, one which utilizes breath mastery and the vocalization of mono-syllabic tones to invigorate and heal the body while gradually awakening consciousness.
All students who order this session receive exclusive access to Christopher's edited translation of the oldest teaching on the Hatha-based Pranayama ever revealed to modern practitioners. -- the 10th chapter of the venerated Kālottara ('Beyond Time') Tantra ( ca. 6th century).
Series Description:
This series is an immersion into the Prānāyāma which informed the Kundalinī-based practice sequence prescribed in the earliest Tantras. This sequence, clearly presented in these sources, was later obscured in the few texts which have come down to us today. Our study focuses on my translation of the unpublished 10th chapter of the Kālottara ('Beyond Time') Tantra, our earliest source for Kuṇḍalinī.
