Welcome to Enlightenment University® - School of Kriya Yoga®
Enlightenment University, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 2020, dedicated to supporting truth-seekers on their path to enlightenment. We firmly believe that liberation from the mind is achievable in this lifetime through sincere meditation practice, particularly through the advanced techniques of Kundalini Kriya Yoga.
Our mission is guided by the conviction that Himalayan Master Yogiraj Siddhanath can lead the disciples to God-realization, or ultimate enlightenment, in this very life. For those seeking enlightenment, truth, or healing, we highly recommend the transformative meditation practices of this lineage, which include Kundalini Kriya Yoga, Siddhanath Golden Lotus, Siddhanath Earth Peace Meditation, and Siddhanath Surya Yoga. These techniques are designed to help you achieve your highest spiritual goals.
Prana and Enlightenment
Prana is known as the universal life force. It is not just the breath you take, but the intelligent energy that animates all of life.
Purifying and Strengthening the Energetic Body
Just as blood circulates through your veins, prana flows through thousands of subtle energy channels in the body called nadis. Blockages in these nadis, caused by stress, negative emotions, and unhealthy habits, can disrupt the flow of prana.
Practices like Kundalini Kriya Yoga are specifically designed to clear these blockages and purify the nadis. By consciously directing prana, you strengthen your energetic system, leading to greater physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional stability. This purification is a crucial first step, as it prepares the body and mind to handle the intense energy of a spiritual awakening.
Awakening and Guiding Kundalini Energy
Kundalini is a powerful, dormant spiritual energy often described as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine. While prana is the universal life force, Kundalini is a concentrated form of prana.
The advanced breathing techniques of Kriya Yoga (pranayama) are the primary tools used to awaken this dormant Kundalini energy. By mixing and balancing the different types of prana (specifically the upward-moving prana and the downward-moving apana), a powerful current is created that helps to ignite the Kundalini.
Uniting Consciousness and Energy
Once awakened, Kundalini begins to ascend through the central energy channel, the sushumna nadi, piercing the chakras—the body's main energy centers. As it rises, it dissolves the layers of karma and ignorance that veil your true nature.
Enlightenment, or God-realization, is ultimately the union of the individual consciousness (often referred to as Shiva) with this divine, creative energy (Shakti). Prana is the vehicle that allows this union to happen. It’s the current that moves consciousness from the limited ego to the expanded state of pure awareness. When prana flows freely through the sushumna nadi all the way to the crown chakra, the mind becomes silent, and the experience of ultimate bliss and oneness is realized.
In essence, prana is the key that unlocks the door to your highest spiritual potential. By consciously working with this life force, you transform your entire being and accelerate your journey toward liberation.
