Lord Sri Krishna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kriya Yoga was developed by Mahavatar Babaji<\/strong> to a more specific and systematic application. In the 19th century, Mahavatar Babaji called Lahiri Mahashaya to his Cave Ashram in the Dronagiri Mountains, near Ranikhet, India and kept him there for many days and passed on all the techniques of Kriya Yoga. These techniques were then later taught by different  Masters in eight stages of higher Kriya Yoga, depending on the spiritual progress of the disciple\/ student.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sri Lahiri Mahasaya<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Lahiri Mahashaya<\/strong> was the greatest  Yogi of the 19th century. He proved by his life as a family man and breadwinner, the compatibility of Kriya Yoga with material life and the associated social obligations. His cosmic consciousness was completely free from the limitations of time and space. The processes in Kriya Yoga as taught by Him, prepare us gradually to be ready to unfold the divinity in ourselves, in a shorter time than usual.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sri Yukteswar<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Viewed from the spread of Kriya Yoga and the spread of the message of Kriya Yoga, Sri Yukteswar is among the most important disciples of Lahiri Mahashaya. Sri Yukteswar, was an Indian scholar and Yogi, with extensive knowledge of astronomy and astrology,  has had a major influence on the development of knowledge in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sri Yukteswar is also the author of the book \u201cThe holy science\u201d. Sri Yukteswar has written this book at the request of Babaji, who appeared before him on the Kumbha  Mela in Allahabad. Mahavatar Babaji asked Sri Yukteshwar to prove the underlying unity of all religions. The book was published in 1894.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Also, Sri Yukteswar passes the knowledge of Kriya Yoga to many students of which his disciple Paramahansa Yogananda<\/strong> has become the most famous representative of Kriya Yoga. After completing his Kriya Yoga and his university study, Yoganandaji left for the USA from there to spread the Kriya Yoga and the philosophy of Kriya Yoga worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoganandaji\u2019s goal and mission were to spread clear and certain, scientific techniques to realise the personal perception of God among all people from all countries\/ nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His book \u201cAutobiography of a Yogi\u201d inspired millions of people and the book is a classic in spiritual literature. His legacy, the SRF organisation,  is still very active and vivid to continue the message of Paramahansa Yoganandaji and Kriya Yoga.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
