Biography of Yogiraj Sri Sri Lahiri Mahashaya

A householder was seated in his own drawing room at Benares in the lotus posture surrounded by his disciples. His complexion was fair and his body well-built. His dreamy eyes were half-closed fixed as they were on something not of this earth. The aura of his tranquility pervaded the atmosphere. He was explaining the Bhagavad-Gita. The householder was the greatest Yogi of the 19th century whose cosmic consciousness was entirely free from the limitations of space and time. He was Yogiraj Shri Shri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahashaya. Kriya Yoga teaches man that God is to be discovered in his own body first concentrating his gaze on the point between his eyebrows.
