Principle of kriya

Just like blood flow, breathing flow and thought flow, you have something called energy flow continuously happening in you. In this energy flow, if there is a disturbance in the energy circulation in some part of the body, like heart, kidney, liver - that is when you start developing diseases and disorders and disturbances. Disease, disorders, disturbances expresses itself in different ways. When your body is put in certain yogic position, the wiring gets properly aligned, and the energy blockages get removed. After that, the kumbhaka (breath-holding technique) starts pumping energy into the circuit. Asana removes the blockage and makes the energy circuit perfect. Through kumbhaka, energy gets pumped into the circuit. Even for few seconds, if the circuit is aligned and energy is pumped, you are out of the disorder, you are free. This is the exact principle on which Kriya works.

Nithya Kriya has 7 ingredients: Asana, kumbhaka, pranayama, visualization, verbalization (internal chanting of mantra), shiva tandava karanas, and the modernday discovery of weightlifting. Putting all these seven together, I am working on creating a yogic body and vedic mind. I call a body as yogic body when it has power, stamina, flexibility, physique and energy. Nithya Kriyas are not just ordinary asanas, yoga postures, kumbhaka, pranayama. The proper combination is the important thing. If you practice two different Kumbhakas separately, it may remove the disease in years. But when done in proper combination, it can remove this disease in just few days.
