Synopsis

In the middle of the eyebrows, at the root of the nasal passage, is the abode of Nectar; if one abides there-the One Who resides there-it is He that is Eternal; He is Omnipresent; thus Supreme.-Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya from Commentary on Krishana-Yajurvediya Dhyanabindu Upanishad"Throw vayu up into space, abide as no-self in the par avastha of Kriya, remain only in Brahman with breath sealed in Brahman and do "yunjana." Via this, there will be "rechak"-meaning: you will be Still."-Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya from Commentary on Krishana-Yajurvediya Amritabindu Upanishad"Remain steadfast in the poise of Kriya and proceed accordingly and all will be good."-Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya from the Garland of Letters

About this title

Synopsis

The goal was to present - as much as possible - a literal and exact translation of the commentaries of Yogiraj Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasay. The idea was to give the English speaking reader the experience of what it is like to read the Bengali originals. The translations contained in this book are the result. They are not poetic or "interpretive," nor are they meant to be. We wish to thank those generous kind souls worldwide who contributed the funds to make the publishing possible. This book contains the following works of Lahiri Mahasaya translated into English by Yoga Niketan: CONTENTS *Introduction *Omkar Gita *Guru Gita *Avadhuta Gita *Dedication "Kutastha resides in this body. It is He Who is Guru. He is here as Atman [Self] and is also Paramatman [Supreme Self]. If there is no Atman, where can the world be? The cause of the world's existence is Atman Itself. Without the existence of Atman, how could the creation of the Cosmos-samsara and the manifestation of all forms come about? It is Atman Who has taken on the myriad forms. It is Atman Who is experiencing them from Self-whim. Atman is the One Who is all Maya. It is Atman Who is Total Brahman.In this way, meditate upon Brahman, Who is Guru, in your head.

" from Lahiri Mahasaya's Guru Gita

About the Author

Yoga Niketan was founded by Sri Sailendra Bejoy Dasgupta, an eminent disciple of Swami Sriyukteshvar Giriji Maharaj of Serampore. It was created in order to present, protect and preserve Acharya Dasguptaji's writings and those within his lineage. This mission was entrusted into the hands of his chosen and established spiritual successors who represent him and his line of Gurus. This lineage continues to this day and it is they who publish and carefully protect these books.
