Kundalini Yoga is a science, a sacred science; in other words, it is a spiritual practiceand spirituality
cannot be taught, it has to be caught, like the measles. It is contagious. You have to get it from
someonewhosgotit.Whichiswhyyouwanttotuneintothelineofteacherstheyvealreadygotit
and that includes, of course, our Teacher, Yogi Bhajan, who is Master of Kundalini Yoga. It does not
meanthatyouaretuningintohisfinitepersonality,however.Instead,youarecallinguponthehighest

 KUNDALINI YOGA KRIYA

PITTRA KRIYA
Yogi Bhajan November 18, 1991

1. Pittra Kriya: Your left hand rests on your Heart Center and
1
your right hand is cupped in front of you with your elbow
relaxed by your side. Eyes are on the tip of the nose. The
right hand lifts up and passes the ear, as if you are splash-
ing water over your shoulder. You will feel the wind pass
your ear as the hand moves toward the shoulder. Your wrist
must cross the earlobe; the hand must travel that far back.
11 minutes.
TO END: Inhale and suspend the breath for 15 seconds
stretch the hand back as far as you can. Exhale. Repeat
twice more.
It will hit the kidney energy. . . it will start working with
the adrenals and then the whole system. . . the lungs . . .
the central line . . . your hip-area, pelvic bone area; it is
going to affect your body and you will become very relaxed.
Do it with a rhythm and do it with a devotion and do it just
to get rid of this stress . . . get rid of this inner mental and
physical tension. . . . You are your vitality, minus tension,
you are fine. 2

2. Place the elbows on the second rib below the base of the
breast, in line with the nipple. Hands are slightly wider than
the elbows and the palms are facing up in Shuni Mudra. The
thumb covers the nail of the Saturn finger (middle finger).
Eyes are at the tip of the nose. As you repeat Har, flick the
Saturn finger. The sound Har is very specific and made with
the tip of the tongue. The mouth remains slightly open as
you generate the sound. 11 minutes.
TO END: Inhale deeply. Continue moving the fingers.
Suspend the breath for 15 seconds, and let it open your
ribcage it will balance the chakras. Then Cannon Fire
exhale. Repeat three times more.
You have to touch the upper palate34, 35, 36 meridian
points that relate to the hypothalamus will regulate the pitu-
itary and take the secretion which you have created and
start asking the energy to open up the chakras. It will start
changing the serum of your spine. It will revitalize the gray
matter in the brain.

3. Bring the arms out in front of you in a V, about 15 above 3

shoulder height: Superman Pose. Hands are flat and facing
down. At the rate of one repetition per second, repeat Har
as in the second exercise, crossing the hands in front of you
and keeping the arms straight. Do not bend the elbows.
Alternately cross one hand over the other. Eyes are at the tip
of the nose. 11 minutes.
TO END: Keep moving the arms and inhale, hold for 10 sec-
onds and Cannon Breath out. Repeat three more times,
moving the hands as fast as possible during the last repeti-
tion.

COMMENTS:
There are thirty three minutes in your life, if you can spare,
you can eat up your own stress. . . One exercise you are
going to do is going to take care of your glandular system
and will affect the liver; it will relax you. . . The second exer-
cise will balance the chakras and the third exercise will bal-
ance your nervous system: parasympathetic, sympathetic,
and all that.

Note: These kriyas must be done together and should never

be done for less than or more than 11 minutes.
