Sri Yukteswar Giri
From SourceryForge
Priya Nath Karar,whose monastic name was Sri Yukteswar Giri (1855-1936),was a prominent teacher of Kriya Yoga in India,and the guru of Paramhansa Yogananda.
His 1894 book The Holy Science seeks to show the unity of Eastern and Western religion,though its reliance on Hindu mythology as prehistory when scientific support for the past civilizations it claims existed have not been found presents an obstacle to the modern reader.
Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi tells many stories of Sri Yukteswar.
