Being with a Guru | The Kriya Yoga Podcast IS26

In episode 26 of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, host Ryan Kurczak reflects on what it means to be with a guru. Drawing from the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, Roy Eugene Davis, and his own years of spiritual practice, Ryan explores the guru as a dispeller of darkness and a living access point to wisdom, clarity, and spiritual freedom. He discusses how a sincere relationship with a teacher can support meditation, deepen discernment, and help practitioners attune to the inner guidance that leads toward liberation. This episode also considers how students can remain connected to their teachers through study, meditation, remembrance, sacred texts, recorded teachings, and the practical application of spiritual principles. Ryan emphasizes that being with a guru is ultimately expressed through attunement, integrity, devotion, and the willingness to live what has been taught. - 🌟 Stay Connected & Deepen Your Practice If you’d like to participate in future live sessions, consider joining the Kriya Yoga Online Patreon Community or applying to the Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship Program. 📘 For continued inspiration and instruction, check out Ryan Kurczak’s latest book: An Essential Guide to Kriya Yoga Practice, available in hardcover and paperback on Amazon. 🧘‍♂️ Your host, Ryan Kurczak, is a Kriya Yoga meditation teacher and author, authorized to teach in 2005 by Roy Eugene Davis, a direct student of Paramahansa Yogananda. 🔗 Explore more resources: Patreon Community: Support the work & access live sessions 👉 https://www.patreon.com/KriyaYoga Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship, blog posts & books: 👉 https://kriyayogaonline.com Online Classes for All Levels: 👉 https://kriya-yoga.teachable.com/ Hundreds of free videos on YouTube: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/user/KriyaYogaOnline Thank you for listening, and may your path be filled with clarity, strength, and peace.
