I bet not too many around here are in the knowing of this:
"Sat Guru Siddhanath" was a lawyer with a family, and he left them. On top, he learned Kriya yoga from Swami Hariharananda Giri (and not as claimed from Babaji). The yoga he is teaching seems way more hatha than kriya, etc. - A real hoot, isn't it?
"Swami" Vidyadishananda, another former disciple and monk initiated by Hariharananda fell from grace - and off the Hariharananda-camp, as he couldn't help being lured into sexual intimacy with a married American woman... - indeed, Baba Hariharananda said afterwards that, "He had no chance!"
Those things aren't publicly known, I know.
And those people (there are many more) may still be able (not capable), to help one on their spiritual path.
As the saying goes - "If the disciple's heart is sincere, the master may be flawed. As long as the disciple follows the teaching, the disciple may still get liberated."
I’m attempting to see the relationship of this post to the thread entitled; Sri Yukteswar and the Yugas. Could you help me understand here thisbody? Should we start a new thread on Baba Hariharananda? I am happy for you that you have found what appears to be your spiritual path this life. And we are blessed to have the wisdom of such spiritually powerful souls you have brought to our attention. Perhaps you are telling us that they also have come with a elevated Kriya technique in this the Dwapara yuga. Which now seems somewhat more common, as we move into a higher age…. As well as others that continue to rise in soul awareness while at the same time attempting to rise above maya.
If you are also interested in discussing two or more types of Kriya we can also dedicate a thread to it. This site is dedicated to understanding all kinds of meditation and while we attempt to not disparage other paths, I see nothing wrong with bringing up different types of Kriya and spiritual practices in a thread about
it under for instance ; Masters and Saints or Kriya Yoga.
