Guru-Param-Para (Lineage of the Guru Order)Guru Sisya (Master and Disciple)

Traditionally and ordinarily Guru means one from whom Sisya, the disciple, gets initiation and instructions in the spiritual discipline.

Strictly speaking, until the teacher and initiate meet, they have no relationship as Master and disciple.

The relationship between the Master and the disciple originates at a personal meeting and actual initiation by the Master.

Treating a realized Yogi of the past as Master through presumption and supposition is an idealization of the whole subject.

Since the acceptance from the Masters side is absent, it cannot be a true Masterand disciple relationship. It is merely the product of the persons imagination.

It can be mentioned here that in India many people are not able to find a teacher and then imagine some great realized Sage such as Lord Krisna, Lord Siva, YogiVasistha or Paramhansa Sri Ramakrisna as their Guru. Without meeting these personalities, there is absolutely no Master-disciple relationship.

Their situation merely reflects their intellectual disposition and predicament.

It is nothing but fooling oneself, or fooling others, to consider a yogi of thepast as ones Guru. Where is the role of Guruvaktragamya, learning directly from the living lips of a Guru in this personal idealization? How can a dead person beable to advise without the living lips? The subject is discussed in Babaji -TheDivine Himalayan Yogi and his Legacy, in Chapter 41.

It becomes imperative to mention here that Babaji maintained very strict rules in this respect of Guru-Sisya relation since it is the righteous way to be in thepath and to receive Beatitude .

Mahamuni Babaji upheld the decorum of the Master-disciple relationship when he asked his disciple, Lahiri Mahasay to initiate the group of people at Dunagiri Hill.

These people were past students of Lahiri Mahasay, and thus it was Lahiri Mahasays responsibility to initiate them, since Babaji was not their Master.

Similarly, it can be remembered when in the epic Ramayana Yogi Viswamitra (who was quite competent and qualified yet) asked Yogi Vasistha to advise Rama, sinceYogi Vasistha was the Guru and priest of the Ikkhaku dynasty.

Initiation is essential (as mentioned earlier) and so is the actual relation between the Master and disciple. It is the Master or Guru who helps the disciple find the righteous path to the ultimate Self, or Brahma.

The Guru of the Guru is called Param Guru, and the Guru of the Param Guru is cal

led Para-par Guru for the disciple. Again, the Guru of Para-par Guru is the Paramesthi Guru for the initiate.

The Sanskrit word Param Para literally means the traditional way of perpetuation ofthe spiritual discipline from the Master (the Guru) to the disciple and the lineage through which the blessings of the realized Master flow to the followers of the particular discipline.The Kriya Network

Lahiri Mahasay purposely did not start any organization. He repeatedly said that the practice of Kriya was the primary work of each individual.

He knew a formal organization would jeopardize Kriya practice for two reasons:

First, because an organization would bypass the Guru-Param-Para, Guru-disciple relationship. The sad by-product of this would be a mechanistic (and thus, valueless) approach to Kriya practice. The close, loving attention of the Guru would be lost in an organizational setup.

Second, organizations require a management and support structure. Maintaining,organizing and promoting such a structure demands an incalculable amount of timeand attention. This time and attention would be best used if applied directlyto Kriya practice.

Furthermore, Yoga is not a matter of institutionalization; rather, it is a tradition of Guru-Param-Para, personal Master and disciple relation, which is the righteous way.

That is why Mahamuni Babaji, the divine Master of Lahiri Mahasay himself, pointed out for one Not to be tempted to be involved in spiritual organizations or to start organizations around the teaching of Kriya.

Babaji further commented, Those getting Kriya from the organizations and unpermit

ted persons are not getting initiation of the Kriya discipline. The scriptures state the same sentiment in 13:10 Gita.

Lahiri Mahasay held up the advice of Babaji repeatedly to his disciples not to start organizations around the teachings of Kriya.

Lahiri Baba spread his Kriya Network through his disciples. When they attainedRealization, Lahiri Mahasay permitted them to initiate others into this holy Science.

They were reminded that Guru-Param-Para (relationship through the lineage of theGuru order) is the righteous way. Gita 4:1, 2.

Thus only the fortunate seekers actually got Kriya. His disciples started functioning as his agents, much like branch centers, as though he was headquarters.

The Kriya Network of currents of Kriya Ganges flow from the Divine Himalayan Yogi Mahamuni Babaji through Lahiri Mahasay and his selected disciples and their channels and lineage. Some of them are listed below.

(The Currents of the Kriya Ganges: Both original tradition and modified trend).

Kriya and Ganges flow from the same source: Holy Himalayas.

It is practically impossible to give an exact account of the currents of the Kriya Ganges as some Masters teach very secretly.
