Avtar Baba Lahiri Mahasaya
| The information shown below is a list of "Kriya Yoga Gurus".
Simply stated, those that have been given permission by their Guru to
initiate others into Kriya Yoga.
Kriya Yoga instruction is to be given directly from the Guru to the Disciple. When the disciple attains realization the Guru may give that disciple permission to initiate and instruct others in Kriya Yoga thus continuing the line of Kriya Yoga Gurus. Kriya Yoga Gurus generally provide interpretations of the Yoga Sutras and Gitas as part of the instructions for their students. Choose carefully--It is an Eternal Bond. |
Addresses are included in [square brackets] where available. Alternate names

Special Notes:
1) No YSS-SRF ministers are Kriya Yoga Gurus. "The President of Self-Realization Fellowship, as the channel of the Guru-Founder, Paramahansa Yogananda, is the only person [in SRF] authorized to give Kriya Yoga initiation. By virtue of the spiritual authority vested in her, the president may designate other ministers to conduct the initiation ceremony." -SRF magazine, Spring 1978, page 53.
2) A list of Authorized Ministers is being researched.
3) Each disciple gets 6 Gurus. Read the YSS-SRF Kriya Yoga Pledge The minister performing the Kriya Yoga Initiation at a YSS-SRF ceremony DOES NOT become the guru for the disciple taking the initation
