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. |

Sri. Shibendu Lahiri (born 1939), the great-grandson[1] 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[2] 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 Sri. Shibendu Lahiri, the great grand son of Lahiri Mahasaya to spread the authentic teachings and techniques of Kriya Yoga in the world today. Sri. Shibendu has the distinction of receiving the original Kriya process from father to son over four generations. Thus the process here passed, through knowledge and genes, from Sri. Shyama Charan (Lahiri Mahasaya) to Sri. Tinkori to Sri. Satya Charan to Sri. Shibendu who was initiated in 1960 by his father Late Sri. Satya Charan Lahiri at the family shrine in Varanasi.
