I believe that Shibendu has settled into the teachings of his father, his grandfather and his great grandfather Lahiri quite faithfully.

As a householder he was a professional and successful demographer, starting as a math major in college. This householder life is what his father expected and recommended. He raised three children to adulthood, his wife passed. His father urged him to enter into the teaching of Yoga. He wandered through other traditions for a while before settling into his family tradition.

My father did the same thing in the early 1900's, wandering through India and Burma and South China in search of enlightenment in the many Indian and Buddhist temples.

The path of experiencing many traditions by moving for a time between them was, according to my father, simply part and parcel of the Brahmin priest "recommended educational" system of itinerant holy men and Yogis, as he knew it then.

I find Shibendu's current viewpoint and Yoga in perfect accord with those I learned from my father and from Yogananda in the 1930's. I cannot speak for the past.

He is still evolving, as we all do throughout our lives.
