For ages and ages Kriya had been the preserve of ascetics and
saints who normally lived away from human society. The system was
so highly esteemed and possibility of attainments by devotedly
adopting it that the early masters thought only a very select and
deserving few should be initiated into it lest the system was
wrongly practiced and applied for earthly gains or lest the
price-less technique was in any way tampered with or
misinterpreted. Many sound religious and spiritual teachings have
been found to have been turned into unwelcome banal and vulgar
features and decayed in the long history of India's spiritual
efforts due to indiscriminate broadcasting of the teachings. The
rigid attitude of the early Gurus of Kriya Yoga, even if it appears
uncalled for and narrow today, saved the system from getting
tarnished, debased and deviated from like many other valuable
spiritual teachings.
The above barrier was, however, breached with the advent of
Shyama Charan Lahiri on the scene, towards the middle of the last
century, in 1861 to be specific. It was Lahiri Mahasaya's
large-hearted kindness and unbounded loving consideration for his
fellow worldly men and women that wrought the miracle. His ardent
prayers to his Guru ultimately softened the Guru and "the ice" was
melted. He was allowed by his god-man Guru to initiate deserving
and devotedly desiring persons, even a householder, into the
secrets of Kriya. Thus it was Shyama Charan who became the fountain
source of Kriya that spread gradually throughout the country and
abroad. Kriya performers would always remember the ever-kind Lahiri
Mahasaya for his munificence in this respect and worship his memory
in their heart of hearts.
