Strengthening & Activating the Kriya Yoga Centres

To propagate Kriya Yoga and the teachings of the Kriya Yoga Masterseffectively, it is desired to have active participation of local Kriyavans in the KriyaYoga activities held throughout India. The social scientists advocate participation ofthe beneficiaries to ensure success of any developmental projects. So also the growthand development of any social institution demands active participation of its people.

It was suggested before Sri Guruji in a meeting at Cuttack to strengthen theexisting centres and open new centres with more freedom and flexibility, autonomyand authority so that they can come forward to take up the activity of their owncentres without depending on the instructions and funds from Head Office of thePrajnana Mission and at the same time act an instrument for the overall growth andexpansion, contributing and participating in kriya programmes, supportingashrams and other projects of the Prajnana Mission.
