Lahiri Mahasaya’s Birthday & Mahasamadhi Meditation

  • Ananda Temple 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA, 94306 United States (map)

Friday evening, 5:30pm

Join us in person or attend online.

In Autobiography of a Yogi, Lahiri Mahasaya entreats Babaji to share the ancient technique of Kriya Yoga with all sincere seekers; as a result of this imploration, Yogananda shared Kriya Yoga here in the West with each of us. Lahiri tells us in this great text, Kriya Yoga “will not lose its efficiency when I am no longer present in the body to guide you. This technique cannot be bound, filed, and forgotten, in the manner of theoretical inspirations. Continue ceaselessly on your path to liberation through Kriya, whose power lies in practice.”

In honor of this great yoga-avatar’s mahasamadhi, join us for a 2-hour meditation as we honor the life of Lahiri Mahasaya and “continue ceaselessly” on our path to liberation.

Led by Brahmacharini Lakshmi
