In reply to: Hendrik - 1 Apr 2004 's message, "Re: 'completing' the kriyas" on 03:16:59 04/25/04 Sun


Hendrik said--"The higher Kriyas constitute Shibendu's "process" -- but apparently only one at a time is being practiced, adding to the First Kriya which goes on as usual. After a certain number of a Higher Kriya or sub-Kriya is finished, it gets replaced by the next higher one, meaning you always have First Kriya plus ONE higher Kriya. At least that is how I understand it and how it works with Second Kriya.

Lahiri Mahasaya's teaching of Higher Kriyas must have been different from that of Shibendu's, because the Patravali letters are there and show that advanced disciples of LM practiced up to half a dozen or so different Kriyas, pertaining to several stages, simultaneously i.e. within one session, not one being discarded for another."

This is Hendrik's guess. But a friend of mine who has all but the last of Shibendu's kriyas says that Hendrik's opinion is "crapola" (crapola emphasis mine). Hendrik hasn't gone through the higher kriyas and this man has. Bottom line.
