Should I introduce my super spiritual brother into Kriya Yoga?

8 posts in this topic

CONTEXT: My younger brother is VERY Christian - goes to mass every week, prays every day, keeps images of Christ around etc. He also 

 - Doesn't want to get married

 - Wants to become a priest

 - Very adherent to Christian moral principles

 - He doesn't jerk off he has next to none or zero sex drive

All of this seems like typical monk/yogi behaviour so should I try do it and if so how? He is already deeply rooted in his faith.

But I was Christian until 10, atheist for 3 years, then became spiritual at 13. If I could make the transition then can he?

Why not ask him?

If yes: 2) From your POV, how do I do the intro best ?

Best you can do is inspire someone to seek god and then let them be. They will find their way according to their own inclinations. It's not for you to know what's best for them. If they want your guidence or opinion on something, they will let you know.

You would not offer it at least once? Gently asking without expectations?

Mm.. maybe. Idk, personally I've never bothered telling my family members what I practice. Occasionally when someone inquires about it, then I share a little in proportion to their curiosity.

Meditation might be an easier in than Kriya yoga ~ Christians can have a block (the bible says you can't) practicing other religions, yoga may be percieved as having stronger connotations of having religious roots where meditation has/can be white washed enough by the western lens to be percieved as more dissonant from the religious connotations. If he has this block, try offering meditation.
