The Power and the Grace of Atma Kriya Yoga
Paramahamsa Vishwananda talks about the grace and power of Kriya and Mahavatar Babaji
How Much Karma does 1 round of Kriya Yoga Burn?
One Round is 12 years! - 10 rounds is 120 years
120 years of karma being burned in 10 rounds of kriya per day, morning and evening.
Itâs true, when you are practising your Kriya, and this is the difference between Kriya Yoga and other Sadhanas, other Sadhanas, donât burn the karma, whereas Kriya Yoga, releases you.
These 12 years of karma that we are talking about, or 120 years per day, you should not take it literally as what you hear. Because these years are not human years. They are Divine years. Because Divine years and human years are different. You also have to understand, the vibration, and how karma is created, it is not that I do something, and itâs one year of karma. Itâs never like that. You can do one thing and it has a regression of Karma for 1000 years.
This is the interesting part of it, because, you see, in the mind of men they think that, doing one action will result in one karma.
This is how you think about it, but in reality is not like this.
Because karma can have a regression of a really long-term, for example, you kill an animal. This karma of killing an animal can make you come to earth maybe 10 or 20 times to finish that karma. This means that a certain frequency of karma â it doesnât mean one â the ratio of it is not 1:1. Itâs the intensity of what you are doing.
So per day, it could be that you create karma for maybe a thousand lives. Just an example Iâm talking about right now!
You understand? So out of these thousand lives of karma that you create per day, if you have done something very bad and you feel very guilty about it, of course, the karma is higher. So, out of these thousand, you are burning only 120! Not much.
Thatâs why I was explaining; that the intensity of karma depends on the action that you have been doing. Because a certain action can give you an effect of more karma.
An easy example; one of the worst things that gives you karma â One of the worst! There is a whole list of worst things. â But one of the worst things which daily people do without realising the intensity of that is? Judgement.
One of the worst things that people do every day, even without realising the intensity of the karma which such a thing does, is judgment. You constantly judge others. But thatâs one of the worst things that you do every day. Unknowingly you do it, but it is there. The second is gossiping.
But there is a catching point to that, those who practice kriya yoga, have a benefit. The benefit is â Mahavatar Babaji is very merciful. He likes to see people making an effort. He waits till the endpoint where you long for Him, long for the result.
So He will give you lots of tests. But He waits to see how sincere you are. Because He doesnât reveal Himself just like that. He reveals Himself only when you have sincerity inside of you, when you are sincere about your practice, sincere about what you really want, then He helps. At night, you know, whenever you practice your kriya, whoever practices their kriya in the morning or even when you donât practice it in the morning, He comes and blesses you.
But Babaji comes and gives His blessing, energises you on your path, helping you. So that what is left, when He sees that you are sincere about your practice, that 120 years from the thousand which is the 880 years which are left, He removes it. Thatâs how merciful He is. So every day He cleanses you and renews the Kriya Shakti inside of you. He energises the blessing inside of you.
This is what Atma Kriya Yoga stands for, and it stands also for devotion because itâs only through bhakti that one becomes humble. If there is no bhakti then the other two qualities will take over: Karma and Jyaana. And if Karma and Jyaana take over then you can forget about attaining the Divine in this life. You can forget about attaining Realisation in this life.
Also, realise in the presence of the Master when you practice Kriya Yoga, you burn much more than that. Thatâs why when you practice your Kriya Yoga it is said firstly to call upon the Masters. When you call upon the Master automatically the Master is present there. So the effect of Kriya is stronger.
You have the Grace of Mahavatar Babaji with you, one of the greatest avatars who have ever walked the earth, which is still alive, which is still here.
So when you are practicing know that He is with you, know that I am with you and know that all the kriya saints, sages, are with you.
This is the blessing that you got while receiving the Shaktipat. The Shaktipat is not just the transfer of the Kriya energy to you.
Itâs not just a key to unlock. Itâs a transfer of a Grace of the Master to you. And that Grace each one of you who practice Kriya, you hold upon that Grace inside of you, you have it.
Thatâs why Babaji said that you are all yogis because He has made you His yogis. And as He has made you His yogis you carry His Grace and blessing with you.
So, thatâs the blessing that after this life, you know, you will attain Him. And if you donât succeed in attaining Him in this life, He will help you, of course, but if your karma is too high, like I said, you have not even a thousand lives of karma, you have a billion lives of karma, then the Grace will carry on in next life as it has carried on from last life to this life.
Because throughout lives, you know, all these thousands of years, you have been practicing also. And because He wanted you to know about Him, He has graced you with His blessing of knowing Him. And above all, He has graced you with the Supreme blessing of bhakti.
So you are very fortunate to receive this Grace, you know. You are very fortunate to be among His chosen ones. Let His Love, Let the Love which God has put inside of you radiate through you. Each time when you are practising your kriya, know that when you are invoking Him, He is next to you.
I pray to Babaji that He showers His blessings upon you, that you advance in your spiritual growth, and that your Kriya sadhana bears its fruits and that you bring His Love, His Grace, to the world. You are the carriers of His blessings, you are His apostles, so bring His Love to all. Bring His blessing to all and fear nothing! Know that He is with you.
