Talk:Kriya Yoga school

message: I've been studying a kriya-based yoga tradition in India that is partially based on Babaji practices but draws from other Kundalini / Himalayan kriya techniques that come from the western Himalayas, and which have also been influenced by classical Tantra. So, although there is some great content here, it seems overly focused on what we could call the Babaji / Yogananda lineage. It would be more accurate and comprehensive if it included at least some mention of other kriya-based practices such as Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan (which I do not practice or teach) and similar styles like Sattva Yoga, which I do teach. Given the popularity of Kundalini Yoga, this seems like the biggest omission. Just my $0.20. Thank you.

message: Good Job Joshua! Just one more thing, I don't think Kripalvananda initiated his disciples into Kriya Yoga. I read the articles and all that was mentioned is Desai describes Kripalu Yoga and its intuitive flow of postures as a bridge between the "yoga of will (astanga)" and the "yoga of surrender (Kundalini)" There is no mention in the yoga journal of Kriya at all. In the encyclopedia it mentions Kriya Yoga in the first sentence but no where else. I have seen many errors in this encyclopedias. In order to put him on this page, we will need to find a secondary source stating that he initiates people into Kriya. What are your thoughts? I went to his website and there is no mention of Kriya Yoga there either.. Red Rose 13 (talk) 23:45, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Kripalvananda

message: I wonder if the title for this article (Kriya Yoga school) could be more natural or recognizable without losing precision. To me, school evokes a building or institution of learning. A more natural title might be "Kriya Yoga technique" or "Kriya Yoga tradition". Hopefully either of these would still distinguish the topic from others on Wikipedia.
I don't think I've encountered a source that refers to Lahiri Mahasaya and Yogananda's Kriya Yoga as a school. The sources used in the lead section both refer to Lahiri Mahasaya and Yogananda's Kriya Yoga as a technique. (Miller 1995, pg. 183, 429) (Jones and Ryan 2007, pg. 256, 393, 513) Jones and Ryan also use the words teaching(s) (61, 392), practice (122, 256, 394, 518), and system (518) in connection with this subject. Maybe I'm missing something though.
I haven't moved/renamed a page before, but I understand there's sometimes a sort of vote. Not sure if that would be necessary here. Any thoughts? Perception312 (talk) 16:44, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: School, tradition or system would be synonymously, all translating :darshana and :sampradaya. But "school" is a commonly used word; it may not be perfect, but it's workable here, I think. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 05:17, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I trust your judgement. I suppose there is no perfect translation for sampradaya. Perception312 (talk) 17:18, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
