Lahiri Mahasaya's quotes on Kriya yoga, Yogic Realizations and Advaita – Part I

On the onset of Satya yuga, Yogiraj Sri Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasaya revived the supreme science of Realizing the Soul or Self – Kriya yoga. The most sacred path of being One with the God within, already manifested in all of us. Through Kriya yoga, He bestowed upon mankind – the Sadhana of Prana – ‘Pranayama’, exactly as described in the Bhagavad Gita [Chapter 4, Sloka 29]. Prana [Life energy] is the most primordial existence of Universe. Static state of Prana is God itself.

Bhagavad Gita terms this secret Sadhana as ‘Brahmavidya’. This only is mentioned thousands of years back in ‘Yoga Sutra’ of Maharshi Patanjali.

 “tapahsvadhyayeshvara pranidhananikriyayogah”  [Sadhana Pada : 1^st Sloka]

The name was later on changed by Lord Sri Krishna as ‘Karmayoga’ in the Gita. Lahiri Mahasaya again revived this most divine route of ancient Sadhana as the Yoga of Sanatana Dharma [eternal Religion]. Dharma, which is beyond any caste, creed, community and color; the infinite Dharma to reach the ultimate state of Advaita or Non-duality.

Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya Himself is Swayang Brahma. Yuga-changer. He arrived when Kali Yuga completed its cycle and the Universe entered into blissful Satya Yuga [Satya Yuga started from 1895]. He is reverentially addressed as “Yogiraj” or “The King of Yogis”. Lahiri Baba used to write down His most exalted Yogic Realizations in His personal diaries which were kept confidential and were in the custody of Mahayogi Sri Satya Charan Lahiri Mahasaya [grandson of Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya]. 26 such divine diaries. They are invaluable treasures in the abstruse path of Yoga.

On a later date, Sri Satya Charan Lahiri Mahasaya – commanded his most advanced disciple and an exalted Kriyayogi by then – Yogacharya Dr. Ashoke Kumar Chatterjee Mahasaya to write divine books, directly based on those 26 diaries. The books are authentic documentation on the sublime exalted Yogic life of Lahiri Mahasaya, the science of Kriya yoga and commentaries on ancient scriptures as expounded by none other than Lahiri Mahasaya Himself.  

The books are:

Divine Quotes :

• “The dazzling sun of the sky, whose brilliance has made this macrocosm radiant, that sun’s form, fire, resplendence, heat are all Me. When there is nothing barring Me in this universe then along with the sun of the sky I only prevail amidst the total creation. Without My Immanence the resplendent sun of the sky will be absent, thus I have created and am maintaining the totality. In this manner all the forms noticeable in this world are My Form only, My manifestations only. Therefore I only am the Master of creation, preservation and mergence taken together.”
  

• To familiarize the readers about his Guru Babaji ,Yogiraj, in his personal diary, has delineated a human face and thus recounted beside it -
  

             “Ehi Babajike rupa, ehi yama, ehi dharma”

• “This Atmasurya is Mahapurusha Brahma, He only is the Container of the universe; everything evolves from here and ultimately everything merges here.”
  

• Jab pran vayu sir ke upar chadha tab babaji se mila, jab babaji se mila tab kya nahi kar sakta hai…
  

• Jo kisun so badua baba
  

• Khod Babaji kaldand liye upar surya candramake bhitar dekhlai diya
  

• jo kabira surya ka rup so hi abinashi brahma so hi hum
  

• Hum hi asmanka suryarupa – Hum choday dusra koi nahi
  

• Soul Sun Narayana, Bhagavan, Jagadiswara, omnipresent is I Myself
  

• When I am the Soul Sun then whatever I state is Vedas- this should be known for sure
  

  

  Lahiri Mahasaya’s divine quotes on Advaita [Non-Duality]

• I only am Krishna
  

• The Primordial Male Energy in the Soul Sun is I Myself. Brahma Form of the Soul Sun is Mine
  

• Whatever one thinks just at the moment of death, one becomes that.
  

• Living being infers kineticism, thus there is no option other than the still state -Pranayama stills.
  

• Increase Kevala, Recaka, Puraka this will impart siddhi (fulfillment) – gradual increase entails Samadhi, having Recaka, Puraka it is like a closed well, effect the flow of Pranavayu, the mind becomes static – if further augmentation occurs disease is eliminated, – sins are burnt, purification ensues – knowledge dawns, ignorance or darkness is destroyed.
  
  
• Prana only is the source of all power. Engrossing in Pranasadhana entails every sadhana practice.
  

• Practising Kriya and remaining in Kriya’s transcendental state – this entails saying everything.
  

• Entering into the realm of the soul is not possible if you do not consider yourself to be small.
  

• Household asrama (garhastya) is the biggest asrama as other asramas are based on it.
  

• Settlement is the advaita (non-duality) stte removes the difference between God and the devotee.
  

  

  Swayang Brahma – Yogiraj Sri Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasaya

   

• Bhagavan marks His Advent as a Guru controlling His devotees and He imparts knowledge, counsel to ones whenever it is necessary for them. This Guru only is the Sadguru.
  

• Special knowledge is science. This only is Atmajnana or soul- knowledge.
  

• The One Who is All – Pervasive infinitely in the macrocosm, visualizing that unchangeable one is soul-visualization or Brahma – visualization. He is Infinite Soul but can be realized.
  

• The state in which the knower, known, knowledge becomes one that only is the state of science. This is the true devotion or true knowledge.
  
• Ignorance spontaneously is removed through the practice of excellent Pranakarma.
  

• If one had to travel to a distant place for a few days, some requisites would be necessary. In this instance, the traveller is conversant about the place and period of stay. Yet without the prescribed requisites, travel is impossible. But when this body is abandoned and you have to proceed to an unknown path for an indefinite period of time, then how many requisites would be necessary? No material objects will be required then. The destination and duration of stay is unknown. That requisite has to be acquired in this present life through yogasadhana and carried over and that sadhana-derived experience will be the only requisite in the form of reformation. This requisite is imperishable.
  

• The impurity of jaggery is removed by a certain process, similarly continuous Pranayama entails purification.
  

•  The one who does not envision the Kutastha according to the Guru’s advice is blind.
