Shibendu Lahiri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shibendu Lahiri

Shibendu Lahiri (born 1939) is an Indian yogi and the great-grandson of yogi Lahiri Mahasaya (1828-1895).[1] He teaches Kriya Yoga throughout the world. 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.[2]

Overview of Kriya Yoga

Kriya Yoga is an ancient yoga system revived in modern times by Mahavatar Babaji through his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya 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.
