Guided by the Wisdom of the Masters
Our website is rooted in the spiritual tradition of Kriya Yoga, as taught by Lahiri Mahasaya and Babaji Maharaj. We draw inspiration from their teachings and aim to provide resources and guidance for those seeking a deeper spiritual life.
Babaji Maharaj is revered as a spiritual master and guru, known for his wisdom and compassion. His teachings emphasize the importance of devotion, self-discipline, and spiritual practice. Mahavatar Babaji Maharaj is the eternal Himalayan yogi and the immortal master of Kriya Yoga. Revered as the supreme guru by many spiritual traditions, Babaji’s divine presence has guided countless seekers on the path of Self-realization. He revived the sacred science of Kriya Yoga for this age and initiated great saints like Lahiri Mahasaya, thus ensuring its transmission to the modern world. Silent, ever-youthful, and beyond time, Babaji remains a beacon of divine light and inner awakening for sincere aspirants.
Sri Lahiri Mahasaya – The Householder Yogi and Kriya Yoga Master Sri Lahiri Mahasaya (1828–1895) was a great yogi and spiritual master who revived the ancient science of Kriya Yoga in modern times. Born in Bengal, he led a humble life as a householder while attaining the highest states of spiritual realization. His life proved that one can achieve liberation while living in the world. Initiated into Kriya Yoga by the immortal Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya dedicated his life to teaching this sacred path in a simple, accessible way. He initiated countless seekers into Kriya, opening the door to inner transformation and union with the Divine. At Anakhyara Kriya Yogashram, we honor Sri Lahiri Mahasaya as a pillar of our tradition. His teachings continue to guide us in offering Kriya Yoga, meditation, and chakra awakening to sincere seekers on the path of Self-realization.
The Divine Origin of Anakhyara Sutra Mahapurusha Achyutananda Das: The spiritual foundation of Anakhyara Kriya Yogashram and the Anakhyara Sutra is deeply rooted in the divine wisdom of Mahapurusha Achyutananda Das, the mystic saint of Nemala, Odisha. A spiritually realized master of the 16th century and one of the revered Pancha Sakha, he received direct divine knowledge from Lord Jagannath and became a beacon of light for seekers of truth. Achyutananda Das envisioned the Anakhyara Sutra as the secret path of soundless sound—a journey inward through Kriya Yoga, Kundalini awakening, and chakra realization. His mystical writings, prophecies (Malikas), and yogic revelations guide the soul toward Sahasrara, the crown of divine consciousness
