The young novitiate had no inkling that this casual step to get in shape was the launch of a transformative, lifelong spiritual journey. Kriya Yoga: Four Spiritual Masters and a Beginner shares her remarkable immersion in an extremely powerful practice that leads to inner peace and supreme bliss. Logging her progress with the original Kriya Yoga, Wyder's fascinating and uplifting account takes spiritual seekers everywhere on a captivating voyage along the ancient and much sought-after yoga path known in India as the “Holy Grail.” The book does this by recounting the extraordinary and miraculous lives of the renowned spiritual master Lahiri Mahasaya, his son Tinkori Lahiri, and his grandson Satya Charan Lahiri, who passed the authority to teach others to his most advanced disciple, “Guruji” Prakash Shankar Vyas. As she explores questions surrounding prayer, meditation, healing, levitation, and the meaning of life, Wyder presents Guruji's logical and authoritative answers. Kriya Yoga now enables others to access the authentic and scientific Kriya Yoga, and further their own personal quest towards self-discovery and peace of mind.

Inspirational stories of Swama Rama's experiences and lessons learned with the great teachers who guided his life including Mahatma Gandhi, Tagore, and more.

Ganesh Baba (1895-1987) knew Lahiri Mahasaya, became a swami under Sivananda, and was the head of a sect whose followers consider entheogens to be the gift of the gods. This book contains the core of Ganesh Baba's teachings.

Countless Kriya Yogis, tracing their lineage back to Lahiri Mahasaya, have continued to disseminate the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga to new disciples in India and in the West. Through a combination of miscommunication and intentional alternations, however, much of what is taught as Kriya Yoga today is far from what was originally taught, often to the detriment of sincere practitioners. In this short, practical, and experiential guide, Sri Mukherjee reveals some key points of the original Kriya Yoga, as taught by Lahiri Mahasaya to his disciple Swami Pranabananda, which was passed down to Sri Mukherjee.What is made available here has not been altered through the distorting effects of formal organizations (which Lahiri Mahasaya and Swami Pranabananda both eschewed), but comes through guru-to-disciple transmissions. Fearing the loss of the original Kriya Yoga as taught by Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Mukherjee has generously written this book in order to record and to share this most valuable of all human knowledge.Sri Mukherjee is the disciple of Shri Gyanendranath Mukhopadhyay who was the author of Pranab Gita. Pranab Gita was compiled and written from meetings that Shri Mukhopadhyay had with his guru Swami Pranabanandaji, who was, in turn the disciple of the revered Lahiri Mahasaya. This book, along with other volumes by Sri Mukherjee, explains Kriya Yoga and builds on the website at www.originalkriyayoga.com.
