WHAT IS THE
SKY INITIATION?

The Shiva Kriya Yoga (SKY) Initiation is the beginning of a path of inner transformation and self-knowledge for those who feel called to raise their consciousness through practices and teachings offered by Mahavatar Babaji and Mataji Shaktiananda for these times.

Through the Initiation, you will receive specific techniques that integrate conscious breathing (kriyas), postures (mudras and bandhas), mantras, and meditation to refine and expand your energy system and consciousness.

Shiva Kriya Yoga is an ancient wisdom for dissolving karma, healing the soul, and progressively achieving true states of inner peace and Self-realization.

FREQUENT
QUESTIONS

SHIVA KRIYA YOGA INITIATION

cerrado
What is Shiva Kriya Yoga?

Shiva Kriya Yoga is a system of teachings and practices for the transformation of consciousness that integrates conscious breathing, postures, and mantras revealed by Mahavatar Babaji and Mataji Shaktiananda.

What is an Initiation?

An ancient practice, present in Eastern and Western traditions, in which the internal energy channels are activated, allowing the Kriyas to unleash their transformative power.

The SKY Initiation is performed through the Sacred Fire (Homa Vidya) and initiatory mantras, according to the Vedic Tradition.

What does it mean to be initiated into Shiva Kriya Yoga?

Being initiated into Shiva Kriya Yoga means knowing and receiving the SKY Teaching, a comprehensive knowledge offered by Mataji Shaktiananda and the Immortal Masters, which contains profound transformative principles applicable to all areas of life, aimed at purifying the Self, achieving fulfillment, and elevating consciousness.

Is the SKY Teaching affiliated with any religion?

The SKY Teaching is not affiliated with any religion, cult, or dogma.

It is based on Vedic teachings (Sanatana Dharma), the eternal wisdom that transcends religious boundaries. You can practice SKY regardless of your religion, or even if you have no religion at all.

Do I need prior experience in yoga or meditation?

No. All that's required is a genuine openness to universal spirituality and a sincere desire for self-knowledge.

The SKY Initiation is a path of profound transformation, intended for those who feel a real intention toward the development of consciousness. It requires consistency, a willingness to engage in inner work, and the understanding that raising consciousness is a process sustained by daily practice, not by isolated experiences. This teaching is not geared toward the search for healing techniques or superficial approaches to spirituality, but rather toward genuine self-knowledge and the realization of the Being.

What teachings will I receive during the Initiation?

During the Initiation weekend, the student is introduced to the first level of SKY teachings: the Circle of Fire. This level offers knowledge of the techniques, tools, and wisdom that will allow them to begin working on the purification and reconnection of their internal photonic circuits, with assistance from the Spheres of the Immortal Masters.

The Circle of Fire Initiation specifically includes four main components:

1. Areas of SKY Wisdom

2. Teachings of Revelation

3. Shiva Kriya Yoga Techniques

4. Fire Initiation

What is the Divine Values ​​School?

The Divine Values ​​School (DVS) is the organization that transmits the Shiva Kriya Yoga teachings of Mataji Shaktiananda and Mahavatar Babaji in the Americas and the world.

Its purpose is to preserve and disseminate the eternal wisdom of Sanatana Dharma for this time.

Who are Mataji Shaktiananda and Mahavatar Babaji?

Mataji Shaktiananda is a direct disciple of the Eternal Mahavatar Babaji, offering a new branch of Kriya Yoga adapted to our times through the SKY Teaching.

Mahavatar Babaji is the realized Being who has transmitted Kriya Yoga to humanity for centuries, guiding the expansion of consciousness in every age.

Does becoming initiated imply establishing a discipleship relationship with the Masters or Guides of this Teaching?

Not necessarily.

Receiving the teachings of Shiva Kriya Yoga does not commit you to a Master-disciple relationship.

Each student approaches it at their own pace and with their own freedom.

Is Kriya Yoga knowledge exclusive to a specific lineage or Master?

No. Kriya Yoga is not the property of any particular Master or lineage.

Those who claim absolute authority over this knowledge forget its divine origin and the universal nature of this wisdom.

That said, it is important to recognize that although Kriya belongs to no one, it is Mahavatar Babaji who traditionally transmits it to beings who have attained Realization: those who have accessed higher states of consciousness.

This transmission follows precise principles so that the teaching remains clear and undistorted throughout time.

If I want to begin, what should I do?

The SKY Initiation has two phases designed to give you a deep understanding of the program:

PHASE 1: PREPARATION.

Three sessions to learn about the SKY Teachings and determine if they are right for you. Phase 1 provides you with tools you can use regardless of whether you proceed to the Initiation.

PHASE 2: INITIATION

If, after the Preparation phase, you feel a genuine calling, then you undertake the formal Initiation.

How to register:

The form for Phase 1 is available on our website. Dates are published in advance, and you can choose the one that best suits your schedule.

What is the cost of the Initiation?

Phase 1: $50 USD · Phase 2: $100 USD. This includes all meetings, digital materials, and meals in Phase 2 (if attending in person).

The monthly SKY Instruction meetings have a suggested contribution based on each student's means.

These contributions go towards the logistical and operational expenses of the EVD Headquarters and Ashrams and the transmission of the teachings.

What are the Levels of the SKY Teachings?

The Circle of Fire Initiation is the first level of the SKY Teachings. The SKY Teachings comprise a total of 7 Circles designed by Shaktiananda Ma and the Masters to offer a synthesis of the Light and Ascension Codes for this time.

Each Circle is completed in a period that can vary between six and eight months, except for the most advanced ones, whose study and work lasts twelve months. Two teaching books are given for each Circle, with a four-month interval between each one.

However, if a student takes longer to begin the next Circle, they should not feel delayed, as the Kriyas are operating throughout their entire Cosmic Being. Babaji has said that only by performing the first Maha Kriya can one reach the state of the unified field, or Samadhi.
