Hi Steve, thank you for this answer.
I have now (again) read the latest posts in the members-only section. I agree with most everything that has been written there (as far as I have read).
As for my previous two posts in this thread, I was only trying to raise some awareness that some self-styled "Masters" are around. The example and "bold claims" of one were, that he learned Kriya (and other meditation techniques) from Babaji personally. It is why I made it a point in telling, he was initiated by Baba Hariharananda which is nowhere to be found in his public bio. Instead, we find he styles himself as a mysterious yogi from the Himalayas, etc. etc. ...
Again writing this, just to clear up some misunderstanding, Steve.
All this I find of interest, but I must tell you I was trained and initiated by Paramahansa Yogananda, still I also received Amma’s IAM technique. Isn’t it possible to do both? Have you read the Autobiography. Yogananda was involved with other groups before finding Sri Yukteswar.
