WHAT EXACTLY IS SELF-REALIZATION AND HOW DOES ONE BECOME SELF-REALIZED THROUGH KRIYA YOGA PRACTICE?

Self realization and authentic kriya Yoga practice is simply this:

In the Heart shaped like a lotus is boundless, pure and changeless Consciousness in the form of the Lotus Self (Atman)...

Authentic (the essence) Kriya Yoga Pranayama practice removes the ego (purifies the ego)... When the ego is removed.....

The Consciousness of Self bestows liberation of soul (Atman)...

Self realization is naturally and effortlessly Self-revealed when the ego is purified (removed)...

Self realization can be slow, fast or very rapid depending on the authenticity of Kiya Pranayama practice, one's progress in the past life (the purity of consciousness one is born with in this life) and Gurus grace... <3
