Lahiri Mahasay made commentaries of 26 classical scriptures and treatises in the light of Kriya in Bengal, his mother language.

We have produced his handwritten letters written to his chief disciple, Panchanan Bhattachary. These are historical documents which will clearly demonstrate beyond anybody's doubts that Lahiri Mahasay wrote the commentaries of these scriptures.

At the instruction of Mahyogi Mahamuni Babaji (the Divine Himalyan Yogi, Guru of Lahiri Mahasay), Swami Satyeswarananda, Vidyaratna Babaji, have translated these scriptures into English and have added his annotations in difficult portions.

In 1983, Swami Satyeswarananda Vidyaratna Babaji undertook "the complete works of Lahiri Mahasay" project and published in America "the "the complete works of Lahiri Mahasay in several volumes" with his other books which he authored.

It is observed that books published in America are very expensive for the Indian Kriyanwits to afford. In fact, it is impossible for average people of India to procure these books from U.S.A Considering this difficulty, the author is undertaking the project as a servant of all to extend the service to the Indian seekers of truth in general and the Kriyawins /kriyawints in particular; especially for the non-Bengalis.

The author took this opportunity to Reorganize the series and put all Gitas and Sangitas in Volume 1, and all the tantrik scriptures in the title: Chandi and the other Scripture in Volume 2. Lahiri Mahasay made interpretation of five Upanisads which are published together in Volume 3. and the Six System, volume 4.
