Cosmic Chants and Meditation - Paramahansa Yogananda

Devotional Chanting increases the light of the heart chakra and deepens our love for God. This carries over to our ability to love others in our daily life; loving the light within them.
The chanting is followed by breathing techniques;
example is the Hong Sau technique;   breath in and mentally think “Hong”
                                                                       breath out and mentally think “Sau” ( saw )
Paramahansa Yogananda became my guru when I was 14 years old. This technique has stayed with me all of my life and can be practiced at any time during meditation and also during any activity. It was very helpful during childbirth.

Paramahansa Yogananda brought the initiation of Kriya to the west from India. You can read about it in his book called, “Autobiography of a Yogi”. Kriya is a very avanced technique passed down from the ancient yogi, Babaji, who even now, maintains a close connection to this octave and can materialize his body for the devotee to see him. One can be personally initiated by Babaji into Kriya yoga or recieve initiation from one of Babaji's disciples.

It is a blessing to be a Kriyaban. Kriya is the most advanced yoga technique. The responsibility of the initiation is to practice and apply what One has been given. There is a saying that goes, ” Don't cast your pearls to the swine”.  A master of light holds the balance for the student during initiations and throughout the yoga training process. It is important to conntect with your inner guru for soul guidance on the inner planes of existence. There is an existing heirachy which includes all Sons and Daughters of the Light and all Ascended and UnAscended Masters. This is called “The Great White Brotherhood”. It pertains to the White Light which is the Divine Christ Light or Christic Light which is the Divine Radiance and Energy of God which sustains all of creation.
