Thank you for this insight. He does use Sant Mat terms now that you mention it.

I think Satyananda says Yogananda hung out with some Radhasoami people as a youth also. This is in "Yogananda Sangha" I believe. Why not--it is a powerful path with what is essentially the SRF om technique.

That technique may have been inspired by Sant Mat--I have heard Lahiri taught hongsau to a few and Yukteswar and Kebalananda lines taught it to many. But did Lahiri teach om technique as what he calls Nada yoga or pranav sadhana? These 2 things are mentioned in his writings. Usually they refer to the 3 higher kriyas I think--their purpose is to hear om in deeper degrees.
Someone please shed light.

Sant Mat is a powerful path. Other than our line I like the lineage of Siddha Yoga of Nityananda and Sant Mat of Kirpal Singh. I don't blame Yukteswar and Yogananda from seeing them in their youth.

There is some connection with our kriya lineage is my feeling. Lahiri said he was Kabir in the past.

The end goal of kriya is to merge in om according to traditionalists. This is more importnat than penetrating kutasta. This is the same teaching in Sant Mat.
