Purana Purusha Yogiraj Sri Shama Churn Lahiree: A Complete Biography

A beautiful book in very good condition providing a biography of the Yogi master written in Hindi. Gourmohan was a virtuous, devout and religious person. He used to engage himself performing puja, reading the sastras and discussing religious facts. He was also an earnest devotee of yogasadhana. He had sincere regard for all gods and goddesses. Muktakeshi Devi too used to daily worship the household deity, Siva with sincere devotion. Before worshipping Siva, she would not even accept breakfast. Whenever any beggar arrived, she would part with whatever she had. Muktakeshi Devi was extremely compassionate, charitable and good-natured. Therefore she commanded respect from all the neighbouring women. A Divine Child is only to such parents. God has also declared: — Suchinam srimatam gehe yogabhrashtoabhijayate Athava yoginameva kule bhavati dhimatam Etaddhi durlabhataram loke janma yadidrisam —— Gita 6/41-42 A person who has not been able to pursue his yogasadhana due to his untimely demise is born in a holy and noble household or in the family of realized yogis. Such births are scarce. This is more of a biography. This book is actually a hand-book to Kriya Yoga practitioners. In his life-time, Sri Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya had noted the spiritual aspects of his Sadhana in his journals. This is printed as this book, with the help of his grand son Shri Satya Charan Lahiri
