A Collection of Biographies of 4 Kriya Yoga Gurus
"The Lord's advanced disciples used to keep His life so guarded that any inquiry about Him would bring about a typical response like, 'What would you understand about my Lord; what could you possibly write about that immense Divinity?' Some would become fearful of the idea that a biography might be written about Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya - perhaps there could be misinterpretations; maybe the work would represent Him as ordinary and small. They desired to maintain the untainted and clear vision of Sri Guru in the sadhana bestowed upon them by Him." --Swami Satyananda Giri, from his Preface to Yogiraj Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasay: A Biography.
