Superb

Man, it is simple. He holds the belief that he surpasses all other beings in terms of awakening and claims that no one else in history has come close. When questioned about the basis of his belief, he often evades the question and provides vague responses like "it's beyond your understanding" or "CONSCIOUSNESS" or that this is not enlightenment but awakening, as if we were engaging in a mere play of semantics. He thinks anything in his experience is indicative of being more awakened than someone else. He continues to believe he is a doer or an 'achiever' of a super knowledge or understanding that mankind has never experienced before. He consistently delves into the contents of experience to assert his claim of being the most awakened being in the history of the universe. This is a huuge ego trip and it's so evident.

I like both books. While Culadasa may possess extensive theoretical knowledge and has written a good book, he engaged in years of infidelity, which raises questions about his ability to embody the teachings he espouses. What Ayham said is my view as well.

Leo is as deluded as they get. It's almost comical. Guy is on a full-on ego trip.

Hi. I've been practicing Kriya yoga for a long time, and I honestly can't recommend SRF. I have heard multiple times their teachings have been changed and are not the "original" Kriya Yoga of Lahiri Mahasaya. I just think you should look somewhere else, there are plenty of options, even online, there is a known free book that has shared basically all the secret techniques by someone with decades of Kriya yoga practice. Maybe you should start there! Cheers.
