The
Thailand Meditation group was created and dedicated for all those
that are inspired and lead by Paramahansa
Yogananda and the Kriya Yoga gurus. In addition, for those
that has an interest in learning a technique to realize God and the
manifestations of love from within.
"When
you practice truth whether you call yourself a Christian, a Hindu,
a Buddhist, or a devotee of any other religion, Christ will claim
you, and so will Krishna, Buddha, and all other divine incarnations
of truth." - Paramahansa Yogananda. Kriya Yoga is a scientific
method and not a religion to help us realize the love that that is
covered up with our senses. Anyone that practices a certain religion
can keep that religion along with the practice of scientific techniques
of Kriya Yoga. This will only enhance ones particular understanding
of his or her religion on a much deeper level. All paths lead to the
same destination and that is the truth we all must learn to accept
in the world today.
Many
throughout the world that have given Paramahansa the title of Master
belong to his foundation that is called The
Self-Realization Fellowship which was founded in 1920 to
help disseminate his teachings throughout the world. There have come
to be many groups around the world that teach Kriya Yoga, many of
these teachers were former students of Paramahansa Yogananda or students
of the lineage of Kriya Yoga.
The
founder of the meditation group in Thailand is also a member of The
Self-Realization Fellowship group. While we encourage everyone that
comes to us to become a member of Self-Realization Fellowship, because
of the great resources that they provide in teachings of Paramahansa
Yogananda and Kriya Yoga it is not mandatory. However, this does not
mean that just because you are not a member you cannot come, study,
and learn the great teachings of the master.
The
Thailand Meditation Group is a Non-Profit organization and was founded
to bring Paramahansa Yogananda teachings to Thailand. By introducing
Kriya Yoga to the Thai people and establishing a place were all from
around the world can come and join our Meditation Retreat called,
A Journey In Meditation.
Only
when we are given the proper tools to quiet our restless minds, can
we begin to understand and learn that pure joy and happiness is within
all of us. Master has often said, "Kriya Yoga is the Airplane
route to self-realization." While there are many rivers that
lead to the one ocean, there are also faster routes which are better
suited for ones consciousness one can take to get to there
