Beautiful presentation, thank you. According to the unanimous opinions of the Lahiri family and all of Lahiri Mahashaya's closest disciples, Lahiri Baba had a very ambivalent attitude towards Sannyasa, dismissing wearing ochre robes as a trap for the ego. He unambiguously recommended the householder state above complete renunciation of 'the world'. Lahiri Baba's chief disciple, Panchanon Bhattacharya, was a sannyasin when he first met his guru, but soon became an avid householder, because he wanted to embody the ideal set by the example of his guru. He also saw, by the example of Lahiri Baba, the advantages of being married, for true spiritual growth. Panchanon Bhattacharya, was even given to practising his sadhana together with and alongside his wife for most of the time, as did the ancient rishis of India. Pranavananda, Keshabananda, and Kebalananda were exceptions, this is because were also already Swamis before they met Lahiri Baba. The great Sri Yukteshwar became a sanyassin only after the death of his wife and the prediction of Babaji. However, Sri Yukteswar did not perceive the householder path as being inferior to the monastic life. Motilal Baba, a householder, would most likely have been Sri Yukteswar's successor as a teacher of Kriya Yoga. Yogananda was Sri Yukteswar's foremost disciple only because... well, he was Yogananda, what more can be said than that!!!
This poem was given to me by Lahiri Mahasaya when I was having a spiritual crisis- the poem is about Christ. It was channeled through my wife: The Word And the word was one with his thoughts where he sat with lips parched from speaking. He wandered the land and began his journey to impart the practice of his heavenly art, painting love and kindness across the face of the world, drawing the lonely, anguished and bereft to him, healing the spirit by the flesh, conquering the beast that titillates the people to pain and misery. Speak the truth of humanity and the need of man, to trust until beyond the end in the one who created them. Today is tomorrow is yesterday, and all join together to exalt his presence among the people, where the most exalted is today where you are living. Do not blush with shame when he calls your name, but know that he will welcome you to enter his arms. He calls your name even when you do not hear him. He has searched for you among the ruins of your empty faith, and your earthly actions that have blanched your soul until it is a shadow of the death that you would feel without his presence in your life- with your sins unforgiven. He has gathered to you all the tools that you require, but even as he gave them, you began to divest yourself of meaning. Upon the birth of existence he was, and is, your only salvation. There is only one possession that will open your heart to his word and that is love, that only he has given you so you may be arisen. The gift surrounds you in essence and in action, but has been forsaken when you have denied it to yourself and your kin. Open your eye to the power of the word and his love that pours into your vessel. To deny the good works of others is to deny Him. His gifts are not to be denied or tarnished by denial or repentance. Hold dear the power of love given freely and steadfastly at your feet. It is the word. Love your brother as yourself. It is the word. Remain steadfast to those who hold to you and do not waver. The reed will remain strong in the storm if he is imbued with love. All is love. All is God. My wife doesn't know Lahiri Mahasaya nor has she read about him in Yogananda's book Autobiograhy of a Yogi. After she transcribed the poem and gave it to me she told me it was from him-- she pronounced his full name exactly the way it should. I was honored that he came to help me. And now we know he is a gifted poet and very much alive in our times.
On Thursday September 26th 1895 Lahiri Mahasaya's last words to some close disciples were, "The sublime and immortal Yoga, which has been obtained from Gurudeva and revived, will be practiced in every household in the future, and gradually, man will proceed towards the path of salvation. As in the past, the path of salvation will become widened. The time for my departure has arrived. Do not grieve. Though the mortal body disappears, the Esse of the Sadguru remains. I am always amidst you."

The Word
And the word was one with his thoughts
where he sat with lips parched from speaking.
He wandered the land and began his journey
to impart the practice of his heavenly art,
painting love and kindness across the face of the world,
drawing the lonely, anguished and bereft to him,
healing the spirit by the flesh, conquering the beast
that titillates the people to pain and misery.
Speak the truth of humanity and the need of man,
to trust until beyond the end in the one who created them.
Today is tomorrow is yesterday, and all join together
to exalt his presence among the people,
where the most exalted is today where you are living.
Do not blush with shame when he calls your name,
but know that he will welcome you to enter his arms.
He calls your name even when you do not hear him.
He has searched for you among the ruins of your empty faith,
and your earthly actions that have blanched your soul
until it is a shadow of the death that you would feel
without his presence in your life- with your sins unforgiven.
He has gathered to you all the tools that you require,
but even as he gave them, you began to divest yourself of meaning.
Upon the birth of existence he was, and is, your only salvation.
There is only one possession that will open your heart to his word
and that is love, that only he has given you so you may be arisen.
The gift surrounds you in essence and in action,
but has been forsaken when you have denied it
to yourself and your kin.

that pours into your vessel. To deny the good works
of others is to deny Him.
His gifts are not to be denied or tarnished by denial or repentance.
Hold dear the power of love given freely and steadfastly at your feet.

Love your brother as yourself.

All is love.
