Despite
all
tall
claims
by
others,
no
one
is
perhaps
as
authorised
as
Shibendu
Lahiri
(born
1939),
the
great
grand
son
of
famous
house
holder
Yogi
Lahiri
Mahashay
(1828-1895),
to
spread
the
authentic
teachings
and
techniques
of
Kriya
Yoga
in
the
world
today.
Yet
he
says
in
utter
humility
that
wise
wields
no
authority
and
those
in
authority
are
not
wise!
Organisations
assert
authority,
but
authenticity
may
be
lacking.
Mobilisation
may
create
a
mafia,
but
the
most
sacred
may
remain
untouched.
Cultism
has
no
place
in
matters
deeply
spiritual.
Lahiri
Mahasay
(Full
Name:
Shyama
Charan
Lahiri)
became
known
to
the
truth
seekers
all
over
the
world
through
Paramahamsa
Yogananda's
famous
book
"Autobiography
of
a
Yogi",
which
has
been
translated
in
many
languages.
Shibendu
has
the
distinction
of
receiving
the
original
Kriya
process
in
the
age
old
Rishi-tradition
of
India,
that
is,
from
father
to
son
-
generation
after
generation.
Thus
the
process
here
passed,
through
knowledge
and
genes,
from
Shyama
Charan
to
Tinkori
to
Satya
Charan
to
Shibendu
who
was
initiated
in
1960
by
his
father
Late
Satya
Charan
Lahiri
at
the
family
shrine
"Satyalok"

Kriya
Yoga
:
Kriya
means
action
and
Yoga
means
integration.
Kriya
Yoga
emphasises
integration
of
separative
consciousness
(generated
by
unceasing
movement
of
thought)
with
an
awakenedness
(that
is,
a
non-elective
holistic
attention
free
from
mental
fragmentations)
through
actions
of
perception
and
not
through
the
activities
of
conceptualisation.
Kriya
deconditions
and
sets
the
seeker
free
from
the
past
karma.
It
transforms
fundamentally
the
gross
ego-centre
of
the
seeker
into
a
subtle
individual
uniqueness
which
also
includes
universality.
It
brings
harmony
with
the
wholeness
of
life
by
piercing
through
the
ignorance
of
the
ways
of
self.
It
is
a
unique
combination
of
Hatha-Raja-Laya
Yoga.
It
settles
the
seeker
in
his
natural
state
in
which
his
body
receives
instructions
only
from
glands
and
Chakras.
Thought
does
not
interfere
as
interloper
to
create
psychosomatic
problems
and
pursuits.
Kriya
Yoga
does
not
tell
stories,
does
not
indulge
in
miracle
mongering
to
keep
the
seekers
amused
in
poor
and
paralyzing
consolations.
Organisations
promoting
surmises
and
fictions
are
stragglers
from
the
path
of
truth.
Kriya
Yoga
encourages
seekers
to
investigate
if
experiencer
and
the
experienced
can
become
one
unitary
movement
without
any
dichotomy
whatsoever.
