Thank you so much! Great! Seems like the om to me.

A friend of mine went to India in 2001 for the kumbha mela. He spent time at YSS ashrams and met Bidyananda. He took a photo of him in his room practicing japa setting in a western chair. It is said the man is very powerful. He has charge of a small YSS ashram somewhere--or maybe it is a non denomenational ashram that YSS people go to. There was some unique situation I can't recall.

Achalananda of SRF speaks highly of him and he told Achala to follow Yogananda in all things. He said "it worked for me--thats how I got there". I take it he means nirbikalpa samadhi.

That man is a treasure of a recource about all things kriya I am sure. It is Indian tradition that when a chela attains he opens his own ashram and writes a commentary on the gita. No one disagrees with him doing so in YSS? See, Roy Davis tried it here but many people don't like it.

Does Bidyananda give kriya for YSS or by himself?
