About Guruji
Guruji
Yogi Prakash Shankar Vyas (Guruji) is of the same lineage as Sri Paramahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi). He was initiated and authorised to pass on the science of Kriya Yoga by Yogiraj Sri Satya Charan Lahiri (the grandson of Mahayogi Lahiri Mahasaya). If you are seeking Kriya Yoga initiation from Guruji, please read Footsteps to Freedom (or for those in India and the sub-continent: Kriya Yoga; Four Spiritual Masters and a Beginner) first.
The path of Kriya Yoga requires enormous discipline and commitment and is not a practice to be undertaken lightly. Besides the life stories of the masters in Lahiri Mahasaya's direct lineage, Footsteps to Freedom clearly explains what Kriya practice involves. It is packed with spiritual discussions with Guruji, and through the many examples and stories the devotee will be able to establish whether their motivation to learn from him is genuine.
