Sudharas Kriya
Sudhāra Kriyā is a practice for purifying the inner self and balancing body, mind, intellect, and emotion. It is connected to a sāttvic vegetarian diet, with raw foods noted for being easily accepted by the body. This Kriyā influences the gland systems and supports immunity, beneficial for health and spiritual development. Many practice various religions or spiritualities for years without cleansing their inner being. A story illustrates this: one monk carried a woman across a river, but his brother carried the memory of it for years, showing how the mind holds onto impressions. If you cannot purify your inner self, external practices alone will not end suffering. You must turn away from negative influences. Only you can help yourself; you are your own obstacle or agent of destruction. This Kriyā aims to restore a normal way of thinking and purify the inner instrument.
"Sudhara’s Kriya is to balance body, mind, intellect, and emotion, and to purify the Kośas, to clear the consciousness."
"If you cannot clear your inner self in a positive way, it does not matter how many holy books you read... you will always be the same suffering person."
