Overview & History

Issued in 2020 to mark the 125th departure anniversary of Sri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahasaya (1828–1895), the seminal master of Kriya Yoga who revived the ancient yogic practice in modern times. An exemplar of a householder yogi, his teachings demonstrated that spiritual liberation can be achieved while fulfilling family and societal duties. This coin commemorates his spiritual lineage.
