Kriya Yoga Vichara: Integrated Techniques and Philosophy of Ramana Maharshi and Paramahansa Yogananda

All the practices are explained clearly

A very practical book on how to go about Kriya. The author is able to provide insights and steps that are generally not put down in writing or in such detail. One who wants to practice seriously is expected to get initiated through a Guru or teacher but this book provides sufficient details for a person to move on the path of kriya all by himself. A novice wanting to embark on Kriya practice would find this book very helpful. The Kriya yoga instructions is covered in about 35% of the book. Balance vichara may be a subject that one would like to hear from more learned and enlightened souls. Addition of few simple pictures/ outline diagrams of the various postures and details would have made the book that much more interesting and useful.

Excellent. Very practical guidelines

Absolutely love this book! Accompanied by Ryan's other Kriya books it's everything you need to know. Not dry or hard to comprehend, Ryan has done an exceptional job in teaching and describing the practice whilst keeping it easy enough to follow. He also has an incredible YouTube channel with countless hours of teachings however it's all here in the book!

Excellent Book ..........Good for many practical instructions on meditation

Really good book

Ryan is an excellent author. He is extremely concise and thorough in his explanations of concepts, with excellent use of analogies. He elucidates many concepts which can prove tricky for some people to wrap their minds around. I would highly recommend this book. It's based on the Yogananda lineage of Kriya Yoga, which means it's not very dogmatic and is extremely practical.

When I opened this book I could not put it down until it was virtually finished. Ryan clearly took great care writing this and this book is something to be cherished. The meditation practices in the book are well described, but the most important aspect I think, are the beautiful musings and observational techniques that one can glean and put into practice almost immediately which lead to higher spiritual truths. Of course, WE must put in the work. A1 read.
