Narada said:<br />
“Oh Lord! You have explained the Dharma to be followed by<br />
an ardent devotee very well. My mind is filled with great joy<br />
by listening to it. (2)<br />
O God! I wish to listen to the procedure of Kriya Yoga to<br />

Sri Narayana said:<br />
Chapter 26<br />
“Narada! the method of worshipping <strong>Vasudev</strong>a is known as<br />
Kriya Yoga. It has been described in many ways in the Vedas<br />
and Tantras. (4)<br />
Owing to different tastes of the devotees and different types<br />
of idols of Lord <strong>Vasudev</strong>a, this Kriya Yoga has been described<br />
in different ways. (5)<br />
There will be no end if all those are to be explained separately.<br />
Hence, I will concisely tell you that method of worship,<br />
which increases devotion (towards the Lord). (6)<br />
All those belonging to four classes, four stages of life and the<br />
ladies of those classes who have received initiation into the<br />
Vaishnava faith are qualified to perform this Yoga. (7)
