Lahiri Mahasaya

Friday, November 28th, 2008
Lahiri Mahasaya was the guru of Sri Yukteswar, and became well-known in the west through Paramahansa Yogananda. Mahasaya was chosen by Mahavatar Babaji to reintroduce the lost practice of Kriya Yoga to the world. A sincere spiritual seeker who follows the path of Kriya Yoga with love and devotion and a desire for spiritual growth can attain Self-realization — even within one lifetime. It is derived primarily from:
  • Karma Yoga — detachment from the fruits of actions in the world, and more importantly, from the inner activity of the mind
  • Jnana Yoga — a disciplined intellect acquires spiritual knowledge, and this wisdom creates freedom through detachment from the fruits of actions
  • Bhakti Yoga — unconditional love is awakened by gratitude and by the joy arising from the oneness with all creation, which is cosmic consciousness
