A direct path inward
Kriya Yoga
An ancient, non-sectarian practice using the relationship between breath and mind to deepen peace, awareness, and direct experience.
The practice
Stillness with a method.
Kriya Yoga combines subtle breath awareness, concentration, and meditation in a systematic path of inner transformation.
The practice is experiential rather than merely philosophical. It invites the seeker to observe the breath, calm the mind, and gradually discover the presence within.
Temple of Peace teaches in the living lineage of Paramahamsa Hariharananda and Paramahamsa Prajnanananda. People from every faith—and no faith—are welcome.
How initiation works
Learn through direct guidance.
Authentic Kriya is transmitted in person by an authorized teacher and supported through follow-up practice.
Receive initiation
Participate in purification, blessing, direct transmission, and instruction.
Keep practicing
Build a home practice with guided meditation, follow-up, and retreats.
What to bring
Offerings in the tradition.
Initiation registration itself is free. The traditional offerings symbolize body, mind, and spirit.
- Five fruits as a symbolic offering
- Five flowers as a symbolic offering
- A donation of $200 or more to support the teaching and programs
