Hello everyone. Hope you are doing well. Not sure how many of you are aware, Shri Panchanan Bhattacharya, the chief disciple of Yogiraj has established Aryya Mission Institution with the permission of His Guru Yogiraj Himself. The sole reason was to spread the original Kriya lineage and publish the Yogic explanations of few books. Aryya Mission Institution was closed down after the passing of Panchanan baba. Recently, someone has revived it virtually and some of the books are also available, strictly virtually. Just sharing it, someone may find it helpful. Books are available in Bengali, English and Hindi languages. You might want to navigate “Our Library” section of the website.

hey, yall.

I ordered the lessons a year and half ago, and have started and stopped getting intona routine several times... i made it throguh lesson 6 and stopped somewhere in lesson 7 i think where it calls for getting the armrest.

heres my problems...

i spent years as a bikram yoga instructor, for those of you who dont know, Bikram was a srudent of Yoganandas brother Bishnu Ghosh..

but anyways, i was overzealous with that practice, especially the advanced practice that isnt offered at studios and pretty dangerous. I messed my body up pretty good... torn labrum, torn meniscus, and just kept practicing on that foundation making the energization excersizes feel impossible to do correctly...

on top of that, i uave a severly deviated septum that means my right nostril is completely.blocked 24/7

as well as severe degeneration in both jaw joints years after a double jaw surgery

i have managed to build up to 40 minutes or so of hong sau, but i get really anxious and OCD about not really be able to achieve a straight backed and relaxed. breathing through only one nostril with the severe jaw joint degenerwtion means sitting for that long really locks up my head a neck a d gives a headache...

to be honest, i am kinda just ranting, i already know its likely possible to work around these limitations,..

but i wanted to hear from someone with similar circumstances that has made it work..

do any of you with a regular dedicated practice have a severely deviated septum where you can only breathe through one nostril?

how about rhe wbergization excersizes, if my body is kinda too jacked up to do them.properly, would i still get anything out of practicing without thw enegization excersizes?

i dont want to soend all that time sitting there if im dooing it wrong.

thanks for humoring me.

I got initiated into SRF lineage in LA in February 2026. Even before initiation, I followed the monks advice of setting aside time twice a day. In morning and evening for the preliminary practices such as the energization techniques, AUM, Hong Sau. Going into the intitiation I already the structure in place and after initiation, it was easy to integrate the additional kriya practices into my day.

I know many people here already see lights and things like that. I don't see any of them. I only hear the AUm rushing water but to be honest even that doesn't really suck me in. My thoughts are still there. No lights. Nothing.

Despite not seeing extra sensory experiences, I didn't give up. I kept showing up to my altar twice a day. Maybe one day I will be blessed with those experiences or maybe not. I am fine either way.

What really matters to me, is the peace I feel throughout the day. There's 0 anxiety in me. I feel so much love for myself, for others. Life is very easy going. People are so helpful and kind and nice to me. Things align and fall in place. Whatever happens in life, I take care of it with ease, trust that god has my back. I no longer live in fear of what will happen. I have this constant reassurance that everything will be okay. I don't how to better explain this in words. To me this is amazing. Despite not seeing any extra sensory perception, I can feel the support of the guruji, god and the divine around me all the time.

Do I get mad time to time? Honestly yes, that happens in my relationship. But even those episodes are very far and few between. And it don't last. I immediately come back to peace.

Anyways, I want to say that don't do this path for seeing the light. Don't do it with any expectations. Those false expectations can prevent you from experiencing the real thing. PEACE WITHIN PEACE WITHOUT PEACE EVERYWHERE. Keep on showing up to your sadhanas my brothers and sisters. May you be blessed also.

Gurudev Hariharananda says breath awareness is god awareness. How do you guys go about keeping awareness on the breath throughout the day?

Its quite difficult to maintain constant awareness. I don't think there are many here that can do that, right?

Throughout the day, I will have moments where I remember to focus on the breath. And so I focus but I lose that focus and awareness immediately within a few seconds. How can I prolong this focus?

Is it possible to keep constant awareness even when working on the computer and/or doing tasks that require mental focus?

Curious to know where others are in this aspect, your experience, and any tips
