Roy Eugene Davis (born 9 March 1931) is an American Kriya Yoga master.
He was born in Leavittsburg, Ohio, and grew up in a farming community. In his early teenage years he frequented the public library, reading books on psychology, philosophy, and yoga. When he was 18 years of age, he read Paramahansa Yogananda's book Autobiography of a Yogi and immediately sensed a spiritual connection with Yogananda and the kriya yoga tradition. In December 1949, he traveled to Los Angeles, California, to meet with his guru (teacher) and was accepted for monastic discipleship training.[1]
Davis was ordained by his guru in 1951[2] and was appointed as the minister of the Phoenix, Arizona, Self-Realization Fellowship Center. He later travelled throughout America to lecture and present classes in dozens of cities.[3]
He is considered by David Graham, author of Dream Your Way to Happiness and Awareness to be an authority in meditation and creative imagination.[4]
