On the sublime evening of 30th September 2019, Bangalore Yogoda Satsanga Dhyana Kendra celebrated the Avirbhav anniversary of the great Yogavatar Lahiri Mahasaya. Guru Lahiri Mahasaya is the chosen Master who brought Kriya Yoga to the modern world. Mahavatar Babaji, is the great Master who revived this ancient technique of God realization for the world. Lahiri Mahasaya was chosen by him to lead the life of a simple householder yet practise the technique of God Realization in order to be an example for all modern humans. He was an exalted disciple of the Mahavatar, and lived and initiated hundreds into the technique of Kriya Yoga.

At 5 pm, the devotees gathered, began the evening with the Hymn to Brahma. This was followed by devotional chanting and a period of meditation. The reading then followed. The topic chosen covered in-depth, the great technique of Kriya Yoga and its practise. The entire life of Lahiri Mahasaya was spent on teaching this great technique to the world. Silently yet powerfully, from the quiet streets of Banares/Kashi, the science of God Realization spread forth; due to the tireless efforts of this Yogavatar. The reading spoke of the importance of Kriya for the modern world and its benefits in detail. Nuances of the practise were also described as spoken by the erstwhile sangahmata of YSS/SRF.

This was followed by chanting and meditation on the divine. As the program came to a close at 7 pm, a group of devotees chanted Bhajans to the Gurus, while devotees proceeded towards offering Pranaams at the Altar. Prasad was then distributed to all the devotees and the beautiful evening came to a close.
