"Receive the blanket of love the Gods wish to wrap around you and let it take you home to the everlasting peace you all long to remember, live and rest within." - Babaji

Atma Kriya: The teachings of Atma Kriya were given by Mahavatar Babaji to Swami Vishwananda. Atma Kriya is a highly effective yoga practice anchored in an ancient tradition, but adapted to the modern life. Atma Kriya’s speed of progress and suitability for householders has been the reason for its rapid rise in popularity. 

Quote from Mahavatar Babaji about Atma Kriya: "From time immemorial man has lived upon the Earth in various levels of consciousness or awareness. As time progresses in each Yuga or age, enlightenment occurs in Divine timing. So it is that in the present age of Kali Yuga the Divine has given Kriya meditation as a vehicle capable of raising one's consciousness into higher levels of vibration. Now is such a time when Kriya will take one to the heights of the Gods as has been recorded in scriptures left on this planet by the Gods who come to live among man to assist in his awakening in each age.

I am one who exists in obscurity to the unaware eyes of man but contiguously lives with man on the planet throughout the ages to assist with this process of man's freedom from the cycle of birth and death and the reincarnational wheel. Never before have I come as close to unenlightened man as I now am offering myself to the disciples of Swami Vishwananda. In times past, I have worked with the Prophets or Enlightened ones of mankind, who then take my message of Living Light of Love to the rest of humanity. It is within the Divine Plan that I am coming closer to all mankind at this time through Atma Kriya and in general. Let it be so.

The Atma Kriya given to Swami Vishwananda contains the keys to freedom of the soul taking flight, riding upon the golden wings of Garuda, Vishnu's vahana, that takes the soul to the heights of Divinity and the realms of Narayana and Maha Lakshmi, the Supreme Lord and the Divine Mother. Those souls who are poised upon this pinnacle of Divine Timing presently are divinely inspired and will take Atma Kriya home to freedom, enlightenment. And so it is written, and so it is!" - Babaji

Quote given by Babaji to Utpalavati (August 2009)

The journey to the heart through Atma Kriya: As Swami Vishwananda says, “I want humans to love in the same way that God loves you, for it is through love that we will transform this world and it is love that is the basis of all religions and spiritual traditions. Love is the thread that binds us to the Divine. Love should be the thread that binds us to each other as humanity. But this needs to be experienced in a very practical and profound way, not just limited to a concept." The practice of Atma Kriya allows this love to awaken and grow within each of us.

The Techniques and their Benefits: The techniques will purify and strengthen your physical body, immune system, nervous system and chakras. There is also a gradual awakening of Kundalini Shakti which often results in people having more energy for daily activities. Mental functions develop such as improved concentration, creativity and intuition. Emotionally people can experience less stress and be able to get through life and its challenges with greater confidence. Wisdom, understanding and discrimination become your constant source of inner guidance and support.

Om Healing: Atma Kriya includes an ancient group healing technique called Om Healing, which has been brought back to the world by Mahavatar Babaji. Om healing restores imbalances within our families, our society, our environment and us. It fulfils the promise that the results of yoga will benefit not just the practitioner, but everyone.

Science and Research: A greater interest has recently been shown into the benefits of yoga from Western science. Many people in the West are now turning to Yoga for help in addressing their physical, mental and emotional needs rather than relying solely on traditional medicine.
