Abstract:

In an era characterized by rapid technological advancement, heightened work pressures, and pervasive stress, the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga emerges as a holistic solution to enhance mental clarity, productivity, and overall lifestyle transformation. This paper critically examines the impact of Kriya Yoga by integrating the profound insights of classical yogic texts—such as the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Mandukya Upanishad, and Hatha Yoga Pradipika—with contemporary scientific research. The review synthesizes evidence from modern studies that demonstrate the efficacy of Kriya Yoga in optimizing cognitive function by increasing alpha and theta brain wave activity, reducing stress hormone levels, and improving emotional regulation. Findings indicate that the systematic practice of Kriya Yoga, which incorporates pranayama (breath control), dhyana (meditation), and disciplined lifestyle practices (yama and niyama), leads to significant improvements in attention, decision-making, and work efficiency, while also mitigating burnout and fostering resilience. Furthermore, Kriya Yoga contributes to holistic lifestyle transformation by enhancing physical health, emotional stability, and spiritual growth, thus promoting a balanced and purposeful life. This integrative review underscores the relevance of Kriya Yoga as a non-invasive, cost-effective, and scientifically validated intervention, offering practical implications for its incorporation into corporate wellness programs, educational curricula, and individual self-care routines. Overall, the study supports the assertion that Kriya Yoga can serve as a powerful tool for navigating the complexities of modern life and achieving sustained personal and professional excellence.
