10 June: Kriya Yoga Introductory Film Evening
THURSDAY 10 JUNE 2010
TIME: 6-7.30PM
VENUE: WELLPARK COLLEGE, 6 FRANCIS ST, GREY LYNN, AUCKLAND
TOPIC: INTRODUCTORY DISCOURSE (VIDEO) ON KRIYA YOGA
The brain and spine are the two special gifts of God for human evolution. A healthy spine is reflected in its flexibilty. With a flexible spine our life and our health will be better. Further to this, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda explains how the chakras (spinal centres) regulate our life and how Kriya Yoga meditation can bring us peace, joy and all round development (physical/material, mental and spiritual).
This 45 minute discourse gives a wonderfully simple explanation of Kriya Yoga. The message is conveyed through a mixture humorous stories as well as technical explanations. A tangible eternal radiance is felt from the Swami's presence - even on film five years after it was recorded. For guidance on living a spiritual life with balance and moderation this is a film evening not to be missed.

5 August: Kriya Yoga Introductory Film Evening
THURSDAY 5 AUGUST 2010
TIME: 6-7.30PM
VENUE: WELLPARK COLLEGE, 6 FRANCIS ST, GREY LYNN, AUCKLAND
TOPIC: THE LIFE OF PARAMAHAMSA YOGANANDA - THE EARLY YEARS
Kriya Yoga comes to the west. Hear about Autobiography of a Yogi and the Kriya Yoga lineage. How Paramahamsa Hariharananda was initiated by Yogananda into higher Kriya techniques and witnessed his state of samadhi.
This documentary video - written and produced by monks of Self Realization Fellowship (the organization Yogananda founded in 1920) – follows the great Master’s footsteps during his pioneering efforts to introduce the West to the timeless spiritual heritage of the East. It features beautiful archival photographs of Paramahansa Yogananda and his activities, as well as rare motion-picture footage of the Guru. We also see scenes of the places where he lived and taught and hear poignant anecdotes of students and friends whose lives he profoundly changed.
