This episode covers the next part of chapter 34 from:
“How remote seemed my family, the office, the world, as I…”
to
“...This is some daydream you have recounted.”

This episode covers the final stages Lahiri Mahasaya's initiation into Kriya yoga, where Mahavatar Babaji demonstrated materialisation abilities by creating a palace and a bowl of plenty that could fulfill any desire. We explored the philosophical implications of these miracles, comparing them to similar abilities described in other spiritual texts, and examined Lahiri's subsequent seven-day experience in Nirbikalpa Samadhi. We also discussed the significance of Lahiri's role as an ideal yogi householder in Benares, rather than remaining in the Himalayas with Babaji, emphasising that spiritual advancement is possible for those living ordinary lives with family and work responsibilities.
