Holy Order of Krishna

The Order of Krishna is a school of mystics, occultists and Yogis that carry out theOrders of Krishna, the God—our invisible King. The Order of Krishna has all along, since time immemorial, continued to be choosing individuals for attainments, drawing men up to Krishna (The God well-known to you, call Him by whatever name, you please) and uplifting back into the whirl of joyous life, in Krishna.

Our instructions (practical) are based on the teachings of the Bhagavad-Gita which have been a guarded secret of the select few, a hierarchy of ardent Yogis cut off from the hurly-burly life of the world. The Bhagavad-Gita is an open book available in the market and can be had for the mere asking ; but its teachings are shrouded in mystical language and technicalities that even the so called great scholars in the Sanskrit language cannot understand. The only alternative is to come in contact with those who have had the Secret-Key. The Order of Krishna is one of the oldest orders - quite a novel thing in the world of occultism, a hierarchy of  Adept Yogis of South India having unbroken descent from the Lord - who have been and are gracious enough to avail themselves of the service of The Latent Light Culture for the sole purpose of lifting up the suffering humanity provided they are willing to make endeavour to achieve this end.

The Doctrine of Secrecy (Guhya) or reserve in religious teaching which some have considered dishonest, is, as all know, based on the primal fact that it takes two to realize a Truth - one to tell, another to hear. While keeping the Instructions which are personal and confidential, it is open to Members of the order to seek further enlightenment regarding the teachings imparted but they should remain on the guard that they do not get themselves into a muddle.  It does not matter at all what religious beliefs the members subscribe to provided they do not transgress what each Member undertakes to fulfill within the Order itself. There is no compulsion anywhere, whatsoever. He who chooses to follow Krishna finds Krishna ready to meet him more than half way across the Threshold; He is Dvarikavasi, He perfumes the Threshold.

The Bhagavad-Gita as generally supposed is no book of the Mahabharata period. It need not be taken that the context of Gita was the battle of Kurukshetra of any epoch; it need not be taken that the war referred to any other war than the Holy war between quintillions of cell-lives making up yourself; each life in itself a tangled thread of thought in the texture of man's (multiple) personality; each life a fighter, in this field of body and soul; each perfectly and intimately balanced by the opposite. It need  not be taken that the Bhagavad-Gita (the song Divine) belongs to any one religion except to the one Religion that you are Beloved of the God known to yourself who seeks redemption through sacrifice in you. In the whole of ancient Indian canon of scriptures the Bhagavad-Gita is the only literature of any direct Revelation from God that has found continued acceptance in whatever form throughout the ages of the past. It is your Book of Books, the original of all Bibles, the Bible of Present as well as the future of civilization.

The Order does not recommend any platitude; does not at all recommend any withdrawal from grosser or subtler material concern; does not advise any needless withdrawal of the life-forces from the outer world and its interests; nor does it state that any such withdrawal will help on the inner force of the soul so as to withdraw himself into himself. But the Holy Order teacheth that it is possible, while in the world's turmoil, to withdraw oneself therefrom by  reaching the state of Akarma - silence beyond thought. Then comes the strange secrets of Inhibiting Thoughts and knowing the sound that resounds through the soul, and work during Silence. The lessons include the practices which finish with Equilibrium of Life & Death, Sacrifice of Death into Life, Life is not a slave to the Breath or Rhythm, True Detachment, the Use of Breath-Rhythm, Hath Yoga, Laya Yoga, Raja Yoga and the law of the Gita - SVADHARMA.

It is of course true that the majority of mankind is not in the position to give up their duties as citizens and members of families. Shri Krishna distinctly states that these duties, if not reconcilable with ascetic life in a  forest, can certainly be reconciled with that kind of mental abnegation which is far more powerful in the production of effects on the higher planes than any physical separation from the world. Thus the real importance lies not in physical but in mental isolation, which is the product of practices of the Holy Order. Lessons depict the path of a Karma Yogi in the sense a Karma Yogi is the Yogi who, whether a Jnani Yogi or Bhakti Yogi or Raja Yogi or no Yogi at all, is still a householder practicing Yoga while actively in with the world's turmoil.

The Order first issues a set of 24 practical lessons called Probationary Course, and being a correspondence course our relations do not cease with the mailing of the course to you - this is only the beginning of the bond. Its value cannot be gauged in any money equivalent. Each lesson is worth its weight in gold. After you have mastered these lessons - one to twenty four - we take you further on in the regular Degrees of the Holy Order. Herein you are given an opportunity to know more of You. Opportunities do not come to us labeled as such. They knock but once and if unheard they pass on and knock at another door. The doors are open. Strive your most now. Just enter the field. Just think what a knowledge of these would mean to you. Do not stifle the desire born in you to know more of yourself. Keep the urge going. 

Act ! If you sense The Call, Join the field.
