There is a very good biography on Lahiri Mahasaya in Italian, by Swami Vidyananda Giri, in which there is a quote atributed to the Yogiraj, where he says something like this: "At night put your fingers on your ears and listen: 1) the voice of a cricket; 2) the sound of a flute; 3) the sound of a thunder; 4) the sound of a bell; 5) the sound of a gong; 6) the sound of a trumpet; 8) the sound of a bumble-bee."

Swami Vidyananda is an old direct disciple of Yoganandaji, since 1935, and still lives in Purulia, India. He is his nineties now.

The title of that book is "Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya", and the Italian publisher house is "Vidyananda" (the copyright is 1984, and the print house is "Grafica 2002" Città di Castelo - Perugia - Italia).

I am so sorry that I could not find that book in English. A friend of mine who knows Italian has this book in Italian and translated some parts for me.

He has other book (this one I have in English --my friend has the Italian translation), and it is his Gita commentary, "Geeta Bodh". This book was acquired by my friend in Vidyanandaji's YSS ashram in Purulia, West Bengal. Maybe the Yogiraj biography can be find there in English.

If the quote above is accurate, it is an evidence that Lahiri Mahasaya was familiar with and taught the Om technique or a similar one; of course, he also could be just refering to the Yoni/Jyoti Mudra.

That quote is the last part of the book, chapter "Some sayings of Sri Sri Thakur Lahiri Baba".
