Atma Kriya Yoga

What is Soul Awakening?

Soul Awakening is a four-day immersive programme in Atma Kriya Yoga, taught by Paramahamsa Vishwananda. Participants describe it as an introduction to the practice that combines daily teachings, kirtan, meditation, and time with the teacher. Many speak of it as the moment the practice became experiential rather than theoretical.

Book my spot

Atma Kriya Yoga is a practice, not a shortcut. People who come to it often describe years of seeking beforehand — books read, teachers met, other practices attempted. What they describe about this one is that it becomes part of daily life, and continues to deepen with sincere practice.

Paramahamsa Vishwananda

Kriya Yoga is a practice with a long lineage in Indian tradition, historically taught directly from teacher to student. Paramahamsa Vishwananda teaches Atma Kriya Yoga — a practice he developed within this broader tradition, which he attributes to his guru, Mahavatar Babaji. Students describe his teaching as distinctive for its emphasis on devotion (bhakti) alongside the techniques themselves.

A shift in the experience of fear

Many participants describe a changed relationship with fear and doubt over time. They speak of it less as a technique for banishing fear and more as a felt experience of the Divine as close and present — which they describe as changing how fear moves through them.

A different relationship with the mind

Practitioners often describe moving from fighting the mind to working with it — using breath and mantra to turn mental noise into focused attention. It's a long practice; participants describe it as continuing to deepen over years.

A return to the Self

Through the inquiry into Atma (Soul) that the practice opens, participants describe rediscovering a layer of themselves underneath the usual labels of success, failure, and limitation.

Techniques you'll learn

Chanting

Chanting the Divine Name is said in the tradition to clear the mind and deepen the sense of connection to God.

Breathing

Pranayama is the conscious use of breath. In the bhakti tradition, it's described as a way of breathing in life and love of the Divine.

Power of OM

OM Chanting is understood in the tradition as a practice that attunes both the practitioner and the surrounding world.

Mudras

Mudras balance the five elements in your body and align your body's energies to help you reach your spiritual aim.

Asanas

Yogic postures are done to remind you that your body is a temple for the Divine and to support your meditation practice.

Meditation

Meditation, practiced within bhakti, is described as the cultivation of a loving attention directed toward the Divine within the heart.

Students describe what happens with Paramahamsa Vishwananda as something beyond learning techniques. Many speak of the first day as the moment something shifted for them — when the practice stopped being instruction and started being experience.

This is what the tradition understands as the transmission between teacher and student.

It's a weapon

It keeps me in good health, keeps me good on the inside, and I use these techniques to keep my personal life on form. I took the course and do the exercises every day. If you don't, the stress starts... I feel the difference. Inside, to be well, it's a weapon that I have.

Space of deep connection & purpose

Atma Kriya Yoga has given me so much inner peace and serenity. My mind used to be overactive and I would often feel stressed or anxious without actually noticing it because I was so used to this state of being. My practice helps me to find calm and just pure enjoyment of the moment. It opens up this space of deep connection, purpose and light for me and puts everything else into perspective. It has changed me as a person and I can see that in everything that I do, how I respond to situations and the energy that I feel around me.

In over 17 years of personal practice and study of Yoga, I haven't come across more powerful teachings than those imparted by Paramahamsa Vishwananda. His teachings have gifted me with knowledge that has truly shaped and transformed my life. Atma Krīya Yoga has shown me how to live with deeper trust, confidence, more clarity and a sustainable balance in life that supports a sense of greater purpose.

Transformation That Lasts

Atma Kriya Yoga isn't just techniques, it is a living blessing that will change your life. This ancient yogic system has been revived for modern times and infused with Bhakti - Kriya-yoga was created by Masters who had done just that, mastered themselves inside and out, and it has the capability to change us from the core of our being, and those changes are permanent. Kriya-yoga has the capability to change our core beliefs and reality by giving us control over ourselves, and our minds, even in the most difficult of times. The transcendental wisdom of Bhakti Yoga transmits something deep into our being. Bhakti is what our world needs today, in order to transform. The sacred practice is given with the blessing of Shaktipat - a direct transmission of grace from a living Master. It carries a sacred lineage that is very, very rarely found on earth today.

The Depth We Crave

Longing for something real and authentic, my 16+ year journey as a yogic practitioner and teacher lead me to Atma Kriya Yoga and Paramahamsa Vishwananda. In a world where we press a button, instantly gaining access to things, I think many are craving more depth, more sincerity in life. The way Paramahamsa Vishwananda transmits this ancient , timeless yoga is that rare and real gem I think every soul is calling for. Soul Awakening is beyond just a one time offer but becomes a life long companion which keeps us attuned with our deepest purpose.

Clarity From Within

Atma Kriya Yoga came into my life through the grace of Mahavatar Babaji and my meeting with Guruji. Before that, Kriya Yoga was only something I had read about, never practiced. Through Atma Kriya Yoga, I experienced deep purification and inner clarity. The practice helps me calm the mind, open the heart, and become more aligned with my true self. It gives me the strength and awareness to serve God more sincerely in daily life. For me, Atma Kriya Yoga is a powerful and loving path of transformation.

Transmission of grace and power

Shaktipat is a traditional element of the Kriya Yoga lineage — the moment of transmission between teacher and student. In the tradition, it's understood as the teacher awakening an energy already present within the student.
