Sri. Shibendu Lahiri (born 1939), the great grand son of famous yogi Lahiri Mahasaya (1828-1895), is spreading the authentic teachings and techniques of Kriya Yoga throughout the world. Sri Shibendu Lahiri 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.

Overview of Kriya Yoga

Kriya Yoga is an ancient yoga system revived in modern times by Mahavatar Babaji through his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya (c 1861) and brought into widespread public awareness through Paramhansa Yogananda's book Autobiography of a Yogi. 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 fragmentation) through actions of perception and not through the activities of conceptualization.

Dynastic Lineage of Kriya

No one is perhaps as authorised as Shibendu Lahiri, the great grand son of Lahiri Mahasaya to spread the authentic teachings and techniques of Kriya Yoga in the world today. 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 in Varanasi.

Biographical sketch

Like his ancestors, Shibendu Lahiri is also a house-holder and has passed through all aspects of being a human so that the spiritual journey does not appear too steep for the seekers. He received high university education and supported his family well, through remunerative jobs.

Since 14 January 1988, Shibendu spends his time sharing the teachings and the kriyas all around the world. Year in and year out, he travels at the invitation of devotees and disciples. Countries he has covered so far are: USA (including Hawaii and Puerto Rico), Canada, Australia, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, South Africa, Mauritius, Chile (South America), Norway, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, Bulgaria, Russia, Nepal, Sweden, Netherlands, England, New Zealand, Brazil, Greece and of course, various places in India. Many other nationals also come to him during his Kriya Yoga programmes in many places.

Shibendu Lahiri has no organization, institution, sect or cult. He has no ambition to influence anybody. He only invites seekers to share the insight which has flowered, generation after generation, through the Kriya process. His yearning is to see that human beings live in peace and amity without ache, agony and animosity, without this monstrous culture of killing and being killed in the name of some fragmented flag or phoney fanatic idea in the name of religion.
