Kriya Yoga - “The Eternal Way” (The Inner Meaning of the Bhavagad Gita
“The Bhagavad Gita has spiritually nurtured and inspired millions of people for over two thousand years. A common translation of the title is descriptive of a holy or divine song: Sanskrit bhaj, to revere or love, to share wealth and glory; and gita, from the verb-root gai, to sing.”

About Kriya Yoga by Roy Eugene Davis
The Sanskrit word kriya means "action." Yoga can mean the
practices used to facilitate overall well-being and
spiritual growth, or oneness-consciousness: the final result
of practice. In Patanjali's yoga-sutras, a two thousand year
old treatise on super conscious meditation, kriya yoga is
defined as discipline of mental and sensory impulses,
meditation, and surrender of ordinary self-consciousness
(egoism) in favor of God-realization.
Although kriya yoga has been known and practiced for
centuries, it was Roy Eugene Davis' guru, Paramahansa
Yogananda, who first emphasized it in the west. Yogananda
traveled from India to America in 1920 and lectured, wrote,
and trained disciples for 32 years before his passing in
1952. His best known book, Autobiography of a Yogi, is now
published in multiple languages around the world.
