Kriya Yogi Sri Mukherjee Visits Los Angeles in 2nd week of June

Sri Mukherjee author of Original Kriya Yoga is coming to Los Angeles (Brentwood) to teach and to offer initiation in Original Kriya Yoga. Meet him in Los Angeles as described at the bottom of this flyer. Sri Mukherjee teaches exactly the same yoga that Lahiri Mahasaya taught to Swami Pranabananda - who taught it to Shri Gyanendranath Mukhopadhyay - who passed it directly to Sri Mukherjee. The names of Lahiri Mahasaya and Swami Pranabananda were first revealed to the public through the Autobiography of a Yogi (a book written by Paramahansa Yogananda) where Swami Pranabananda is known as the “Saint with Two Bodies.” Sri Mukherjee practiced Kriya Yoga faithfully in secret without any fanfare for more than 40 years before deciding to offer initiation. His decision to offer initiation came about after visiting various Kriya Yoga ashrams where he saw how Kriya was being taught and disseminated. Sri Mukherjee was appalled at

what was being offered, as it was not pure Kriya Yoga, but seriously altered and far more complicated than necessary. Sri Mukherjee and his lineage of Gurus (from Lahiri Mahasaya to him today) were all householders who individually taught each disciple, and not through any organization. Accordingly, during an initiation, the Guru shows the disciple the spiritual eye. This is done privately (one-on-one) and never in a group. Kriya is very subtle and has to be conveyed subtly and practiced as instructed. The history of religion shows that the teachings of great spiritual persons are often lost, diluted, or changed after several generations of followers. Today there are many people who teach different versions of Kriya that differ in fundamental aspects. How is one to know what is authentic? Traditionally, one knows something about a Guru from his lineage, but lineages diverge into sects. Sri Mukherjee comes from a distinguished lineage, but was inspired to practice Kriya exactly as he was instructed by his own Guru. Early on, Sri Mukherjee realized this his Guru had “second sight” when he revealed that he knew about Sri Mukherjee’s activities even without being physically present to observe them. And, prior to his Guru’s death, Sri Mukherjee asked him what happens after death. His Guru said, “Let me die and I will tell you.” Sri Mukherjee laughed and thought it was a joke. After his Guru died, he manifested himself to Sri Mukherjee. These and other things made Sri Mukherjee realize that his Guru was peerless and gave him the faith to practice exactly as he was instructed without modifying the teachings. His Guru wrote Pranab Gita which is based on his own self-realization and the notes that he faithfully took from his many meetings with Swami Pranabananda. Additional Information and Kriya Initiation More information about Sri Mukherjee and his teachings can be found in his books Original Kriya Yoga available on Amazon and on his website: http://originalkriya.com. Six volumes are available in Kindle or paperback. Sri Mukherjee will be in Los Angeles the 2nd week of June to instruct and to initiate sincere and dedicated seekers in Original Kriya Yoga. Initial instruction and initiation take two days. At this point only a few spaces are still available. Prior to initiation it is recommended that people have read some of his books and begun the practice of Kriya Pranayam.
