The Real Masters of Yoga.. Lahiri Mahashaya..
The household Yogi, born: September 30, 1828 was a privileged disciple of Mahavata Babaji and the guru of Sri Yuteswarji. Lahiri was given the tasks to spread Kriya Yoga science by Mahavata Babji. Lahiri who lived at home with his family which is unusual for a Yoga guru, though paved the way for modern day Yoga so everyone could practice, whether in a temple or at home. He would initiate people into Kriya Yoga from all faiths.
He once said "Always remember that you belong to no one, and no one belongs to you. Reflect that some day you will suddenly have to leave everything in this world–so make the acquaintanceship of God now. Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception. Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles. Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. Cease being a prisoner of the body; using the secret key of Kriya, learn to escape into Spirit"
I remember my time in Varanasi India, when I spent some time with some of his disciples, I was ready to leave the spiritual vibrations of this holy city, when I was blessed with the cosmic feelings of this great Yoga guru..
In 1895 he gathered his disciples, revealing to a few of them that he would soon be leaving his body. Just moments before his passing, he said, "I am going home. Be comforted; I shall rise again." He then turned his body around three times, faced north, and consciously left his body, entering mahasamadhi. Lahiri Mahasaya passed on 26 September 1895
