"In accordance with ancient custom, the master gave to people in general a neem oil for the cure of various diseases. When the guru requested a disciple to distil the oil, he could easily accomplish the task. If anyone else tried, he would encounter strange difficulties, finding that the medicinal oil had almost evaporated after going through the required distilling processes. Evidently the master's blessing was a necessary ingredient."

Paramahansa Yogananda referring to Lahiri Mahasaya in Autobiography of a Yogi. If we regard Kriya Yoga as providing the ultimate solution to all human suffering then the meaning of the story becomes clear.

It is not right for anyone to set themselves up as a teacher of Kriya. When that happens over time the message will be lost, and those who follow false teachers will not receive the full benefits of Kriya.

I do not believe that Karma should be used as an excuse. Someone may well be starving as a result of their Karma, but perhaps it is also their Karma that you will give them some food.

If you see someone about to harm themselves do you simply say it is their Karma, or do you try to warn them?

I believe we are entitled to discuss those who set themselves up as Kriya teachers. If they do not desire publicity they should not promote themselves.

If some people are helped by the discussion here then this board has done some good.
