Lahiri Mahasaya Samadhi - Varanasi

I cannot give any star less as His Holiness has shown way to world to Baba Mahavatar. However, Samadhi is closed and outsiders are not allowed in. Only one Pujariji visit there for Puja. I tried to contact him for timing so that I could have glimpse from outside but alas, I couldn’t even reach him. One Sattan Yadav (who weaves Sarees nearby) tried to help me but seems there is still time to pay my homage!

I visited lahari mahasaya samadhi to experience the enlightened beings place. Its a small house ina narrow lane. Upon asking, local people will guide us to the place. After visiting i came to know that it'll be opened once a year during guru poornima. I hope to visit on guru poornima again.

It is very peaceful and offers blissful and serene atmosphere for meditation

The Real Ashram of lahiri Mahashaya.Located inside from Godualiy Chauk.Earliar it was not possible to know but now hording helps so much. Jai Guru.

Despite all tall claims by others, no one is perhaps as authorised as Shibendu Lahiri (born 1939), the great grand son of famous house holder Yogi Lahiri Mahashay (1828-1895), to spread the authentic teachings and techniques of Kriya Yoga in the world today. Yet he says in utter humility that wise wields no authority and those in authority are not wise! Organisations assert authority, but authenticity may be lacking. Mobilisation may create a mafia, but the most sacred may remain untouched. Cultism has no place in matters deeply spiritual. Lahiri Mahasay (Full Name: Shyama Charan Lahiri) became known to the truth seekers all over the world through Paramahamsa Yogananda's famous book "Autobiography of a Yogi", which has been translated in many languages. Shibendu has the distinction of receiving the original Kriya process in the age old Rishi-tradition of India, that is, from father to son - generation after generation. Thus the process here passed, through knowledge and genes, from Shyama Charan to Tinkori to Satya Charan to Shibendu who was initiated in 1960 by his father Late Satya Charan Lahiri at the family shrine "Satyalok" D 22/3, Chousatti Ghat, Varanasi - 221 001 (India). Kriya Yoga : Kriya means action and Yoga means integration. Kriya Yoga emphasises integration of separative consciousness (generated by unceasing movement of thought) with an awakenedness (that is, a non-elective holistic attention free from mental fragmentations) through actions of perception and not through the activities of conceptualisation. Kriya deconditions and sets the seeker free from the past karma. It transforms fundamentally the gross ego-centre of the seeker into a subtle individual uniqueness which also includes universality. It brings harmony with the wholeness of life by piercing through the ignorance of the ways of self. It is a unique combination of Hatha-Raja-Laya Yoga. It settles the seeker in his natural state in which his body receives instructions only from glands and Chakras. Thought does not interfere as interloper to create psychosomatic problems and pursuits. Kriya Yoga does not tell stories, does not indulge in miracle mongering to keep the seekers amused in poor and paralyzing consolations. Organisations promoting surmises and fictions are stragglers from the path of truth. Kriya Yoga encourages seekers to investigate if experiencer and the experienced can become one unitary movement without any dichotomy whatsoever.

This place contains the ashes of Lahiri maha sayi who is the first disciple of Mahavatar Babaji. This is very calm place. For meditation people, this is suitable place.

Just a small walk along the way from the house of the Great Saint Shri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahasay willl lead to the Ashram 'Satyalok' where the the Energy level speaks of the presence of the Samadhi Mandir containing ashes of Shri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahasay. An experience in itself holds great importance among Kriyabans of all ages.

Peaceful, serene place, a must visit in Kashi for all spiritual seekers. The locals, strangely, seem unsure of the timings. Lucky to participate in the evening Aarti and confirmed the timings from Purohit ji as 10:30am - 1 pm, 5 - 8 pm.
