Kriyā (in Sanskrit "action, deed, effort"(in Tamil Kiriyai)) most commonly refers to a "completed action", technique or practice within a yoga discipline meant to achieve a specific result. Another meaning of Kriya is an outward physical manifestation of awakened kundalini, such as a spontaneous body movement related to Kundalini energy flow. O Kriya ''Shakti'' is "a power of thought" said to be greatly studied by yogis.〔Helena Petrona Blavatsky (1893 - 1897), ''The Secret Doctrine'', London Theosophical Pub. House, 1893-97, ISBN 0-900588-74-8〕 ==Etymology== ''Kriyā'' is a Sanskrit term, derived from the Sanskrit root, ''kri'', meaning "to do". ''Kriyā'' means "action, deed, effort". The word karma is also derived from the Sanskrit root ' (kri) , meaning "to do, make, perform, accomplish, cause, effect, prepare, undertake".〔see: * (kṛ,कृ ) Monier Monier-Williams, (Monier Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary (2008 revision) ), pp 300-301; * Carl Cappeller (1999), Monier-Williams: A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, Etymological and Philologically Arranged with Special Reference to Cognate Indo-European Languages, Asian Educational Services, ISBN 978-8120603691〕〔Mulla & Krishnan (2009), Do Karma-Yogis Make Better Leaders? Exploring the Relationship between the Leader's Karma-Yoga and Transformational Leadership, Journal of Human Values, 15(2), pp 167-183〕 Karma is related to verbal proto-Indo-European root *kwer- "to make, form".〔John Algeo and Thomas Pyles (2010), The Origins and Development of the English Language, 6th Edition, ISBN 978-1428231450, pp 54-55〕 The root ''kṛ'' (kri) is very common in ancient Sanskrit literature, and it is relied upon to explain ideas in Rigveda, other Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, the Epics of Hinduism.〔〔See Rigveda 9.69.5, 10.159.4, 10.95.2, Svetâsvatara Upanishad 2.7.v.1, Mahabharata 1.5141, etc.〕 The root "kri" also appears in the word Sanskrit, to imply a language that is "well made". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kriyā」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
