KayaVyuha Yoga for Krama Clearing
Introduction to KayaVyuha Yoga
KayaVyuha (Sanskrit: कायव्यूह, “array” or “sacred deployment of bodies”) is an advanced yogic siddhi that enables a realized practitioner to manifest multiple bodies—gross, subtle, or luminous—simultaneously in different locations or dimensions. These forms are fully functional, independent, and arise from purified consciousness and egoity (asmitā).
The primary purpose is Krama Clearing: accelerating the dissolution of karmic impressions (samskāras) that normally unfold gradually across lifetimes. By parallelizing experience through multiple embodiments, the yogi exhausts karma rapidly, hastening liberation (kaivalya or moksha).
This teaching draws from Patanjali, the Buddha, Lord Krishna, and the contemporary Himalayan revival by Sage Sri Amit Ray (revealed 2002–2015).

KayaVyuha in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras
Patanjali provides the classical foundation:
- Yoga Sutra 3.29 (Vibhuti Pada):
नाभिचक्रे कायव्यूहज्ञानम् ॥२९॥
nābhi-cakre kāya-vyūha-jñānam
“By samyama on the navel center arises knowledge of the arrangement of the body (kāya-vyūha).” - Yoga Sutras 4.4–4.6: Constructed minds and bodies (nirmāṇa-cittāni) arise solely from asmitā. When created by a detached yogi, these forms generate no new karma and can be dissolved at will.
Traditional commentaries explain this enables multiple simultaneous bodies to exhaust karmic seeds in parallel, bypassing sequential rebirths.
Sri Amit Ray’s Revival: Nine-Layered KayaVyuha Divya Deha Yoga
Through deep Himalayan sadhana (2002–2015), Dr. Sri Amit Ray revived and expanded the ancient KayaVyuha into the complete system Kāya Vyūha Divya Deha Rainbow Body Yoga. Sage Sri Amit Ray defines it as “the sacred formation or deployment of the body” using 114 chakras, cosmic biorhythms, and luminous awareness.

Key Features of Sri Amit Ray’s Teaching
- Nine Sacred Vyūhas (Layers):
- Kāya-Vyūha (physical)
- Garbha-Vyūha (embryonic)
- Prāṇa-Vyūha (vital energy)
- Nāda-Bindu-Vyūha (sonic field)
- Manas-Vyūha (mental-emotional)
- Jñāna-Vyūha (insight)
- Deva-Vyūha (archetypal-luminous)</liрили
- Tattva-Vyūha (elemental)
- Chaitanya-Brahma-Vyūha (pure consciousness)
- 114 Chakras & Cosmic Integration – linking the body to higher lokas and universal rhythms.
- Divya Deha (Rainbow Body) – the ultimate light-body attainment.
Multiple subtle/divine bodies serve as vehicles for parallel krāmic purification across dimensions through compassion and wisdom.
Parallels in Buddhist Tradition: Nirmāṇakāya
In Mahayana and Vajrayana, the Nirmāṇakāya (Emanation Body) allows enlightened beings to create countless mind-made bodies (manomayakāya) to teach in multiple realms simultaneously, ripening karma through skillful means and accelerating collective liberation.
Lord Krishna’s 16,108 Divine Expansions
In Srimad Bhagavatam (10th Canto), Lord Krishna manifests 16,108 identical yet fully independent forms to reside with His 16,108 queens in Dvaraka — the supreme divine example of prakāśa-vigraha (illumination expansions). Witnessing this burns devotees’ karma instantly through grace.
Comparative Overview
| Tradition | Manifestation Mechanism | Karma Clearing Approach | Number/Layers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patanjali Yoga | Samyama on navel; asmitā creation | Parallel samskāra exhaustion | Unlimited (by purity) |
| Sri Amit Ray | Nine-layered chakra activation & cosmic alignment | Parallel purification across subtle bodies; Rainbow Body | Multiple luminous bodies; 9 Vyūhas |
| Buddhism | Manomayakāya from enlightened mind | Teaching in multiple realms | Countless emanations |
| Krishna (Vaishnava) | Divine svayam-rūpa expansions | Grace burns karma | 16,108 identical forms |
Purpose and Practice of Krama Clearing
All traditions agree: multiple bodies transform sequential (krama) karma into parallel processing for rapid neutralization. Sri Amit Ray emphasizes compassionate use—healing collective consciousness rather than egoic display. Practice requires prior chakra mastery, ethical detachment, and guidance from a realized teacher.
Conclusion and Ethical Caution
KayaVyuha Yoga—from Patanjali’s ancient seed to Sri Amit Ray’s nine-layered Himalayan revelation—offers a profound path to transcend linear time and karma through multi-bodied compassionate awareness. Whether yogic siddhi, Buddhist emanation, or divine līlā, the essence remains liberation through embodiment of the One.
Pursue only under qualified guidance. Attachment to powers delays the ultimate goal: union with the Eternal beyond all forms.
