Salient points in the life of Vidyaratna Babaji

Vidyaratna Babaji (Swami Satyeswarananda Maharaj) was educated as a resident student for eight years in the hermitage school.
He learned Kirya from Swami Satyananda with whom he was closely associated for long twenty years.
Graduated from the University of Calcutta with a B. A. Philosophy honors, received an M.A. in philosophy specializing in Vedanta philosophy, concurrently received a LL.B.(Law) degree, and also worked for Ph.D. program.
He was a professor of law and an advocate (attorney).
He entered into the order of Swami with the blessings of Jagatguru Sankaracharya Swami Krishna Tirtha Bharati of Puri Gobardhan Math and Bidyananda Presided over the ceremony.
He lived in a small hut for twelve (12) years in Dunagiri Hill, Himalayas; sometimes with Mahamuni Babaji who frequently visited him.
Suddenly, without taking a vow, he observed Continuous Silence... (akhanda mouna) for three long years and was known as silent sage, Mouni Baba, Mouni Swami.
In 1974, he received "Kriya Sutra" the message of Mahamuni Babaji at Dunagiri Hill Himalayas.
In 1975, at the instruction of Babaji, he toured the world and lectured in European countries.
In 1976, Mahamuni Babaji initiated him into Purna Kriya in the Himalayas and commissioned him to re-establish the Original Kriya.
In 1982, Mahamuni Babaji sent Vidyaratna Babaji to America. He was lived in America ever since.
He has authored more than forty-five (45) books. Some of them are as follows:
1. Babaji and His Legacy,

5. The six systems (Sara Darsan), and

As a sannyasi, he lives and stays alone; and eats meals prepared by himself (swapak). Like Mahamuni Babaji and Lahiri Mahasay, he is free of asrams, centers and organizations. As a servant of all (sakaler das) he serves only the qualified, since and serious seekers of truth form San Diego, California (U.S.A)

 

Publisher's Note

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 These are historical documents which will clearly demonstrate beyond anybody's doubts that Lahiri Mahasay wrote the commentaries of these scriptures.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.
