The Kriya Yoga Masters

Our lineage of Kriya Yoga Masters

In the Satya Yuga, God revealed Kriya Yoga to Manu, the first human king and lawgiver. In the subsequent Treta Yuga, the Gurus of Lord Rama Chandra continued to teach it.

In the subsequent Dwapara Yuga, Lord Sri Krishna(our ancient Kriya Yoga Guru)continued to teach it (as mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter4, Verse1,2 &3).

In the present Kali Yuga, Mahavatar Babaji taught it and was continued by Yogiraj Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasaya and so on by our lineage of Gurus. This is how it spread all over the world.
