'Samadhi' - excerpts from the Holy book 'Purana Purusha'; spiritual biography and commentary of Yogiraj Sri Shyama charan Lahiri Mahasaya

Prana Vibration along spinal Cord

Yogically by practising austere samadhi one has to surmount each step and proceed, samadhi will arrive at the final stage.

In the samadhi state there is a cessation of body-consciousness, mind and sensory faculties. It is now that the state of sahaja samadhi arrives.
 
Advancing deeper savikalpa samadhi occurs. Then also soul-visualisation is existent.

Yogiraj Sri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahasaya

Delving further deeper in the recesses of yoga, a yogi arrives at nirvikalpa samadhi or mahasamadhi which is Kriya's transcendental state. In this state the yogi merges with the Absolute.

Common man opines that in the state of mahasamadhi, one does not return but this is an erroneous concept. Even after merging with the Absolute to effect human welfare a yogi does return but does not digress from this state.

Yogiraj Sri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahasaya on ‘Karmayoga’

“The action which causes an union with God is karma and to remain united with that karma incessantly is Karmayoga. Others are all inactions. God is not an Object Who has descended from the sky, this is a state. This is the still state of Prana. Still Prana in a living being deriving vibration has assumed the forms of intelligence, mind, senses etc. and remains enchanted by this. This is a living being’s deviated state from his original form or else this is the state of declension from still Prana to dynamic Prana.
Stillness is a living being’s original form. Dynamism represents a living being and stillness represents Siva.
Therefore the action which terminates that dynamism and reverts a living being again to stillness or the action that causes a living being’s state to be extinct and elevates him to the state of Siva, is known as Karmayoga.“

Lahiri Mahasaya – Swayang Brahma Himself re-established the eternal and most sacred knowledge of ‘Kriyayoga’. 

‘Kriyayoga‘ is mentioned in Yoga Sutra of Maharshi Patanjali, 15000 years back :

“tapahsvadhyayeshvara pranidhananikriyayogah”  [1^st sloka of Sadhana Pada]

Due to Yuga decadence, this most sacred Yoga almost lost into oblivion. But, as Bhagavan promised in Bhagavat Gita that He will appear at the junctures of two yugas, He again descended in the human form as Bhagavan Sri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahasaya at the Kali yuga -Satya yuga juncture. And again He revived Sanatana dharma, which is purely based on Yoga in its truest form.
