Get it Straight From the Source

If you are practicing kriya, in any of its many current permutations, you really owe it to yourself to read everything you can by Lahiri Mahasay. I'll give you a good example of why this is so: one of his students wrote him a letter asking exactly how much kriya he should practice to really get anything profound out of it. The great yogi wrote him back that he should be doing six hundred kriya pranayams and thirty mahamudras.

Now, I ask you, doesn't that throw quite a bit of light on exactly what it takes to get anything out of this? I think we should try to get the details straight from the source without having it filtered through any organization or person. The problem with organizations is they tell you to practice way too little. I don't know why. Maybe they don't want you to get out from under their control. But if you read it straight from "the man" as we say in the usa, you can't have any doubt--he'll tell you exactly what it takes.

Good luck in your practice.
