Sri Sudhin Ray - Kriya Yoga Guru and scientist

Dr Sudhin Ray was born in a devout Bengali Brahmin family in Kolkata to Late Akshay Mohan Ray and Late Kamala Ray on the 20th of August 1949. His early childhood days were spent in Beadon Street and Kankurgachi areas of Kolkata and later on he settled down in Uttarpara in the Hooghly district of West Bengal. His forefathers belonged to Barindra Brahmins clan of Kannauj, the ancient city, now in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Some of those ancestors from Kannauj had gone to Mymensingh (now in Bangladesh) wherefrom one of his forefathers settled down in Kolkata.

Dr Sudhin Ray obtained his Doctorate in Bio-Chemistry from the University of Calcutta in the year 1979 and thereafter served as a scientist in various scientific and academic establishments. In the later years he joined as Scientist at SSKM Hospital, Kolkata where he rendered service till the date of his retirement in 2009. He is a householder and a proud father of two lovely daughters who are happily married. His wife, a pious lady, is the adorable Gurumaa of all kriyabans of RYKY Mission. Dr Sudhin Ray is well accomplished in sarod playing as well as painting. Since his early childhood days Dr Sudhin Ray was a Shiva devotee and unlike other children of his age was very much skeptical and inquisitive.

His inquisitiveness into the fathomless paved the way for his initiation into Kriya Yoga in the year 1992 by Shri Mahewsari Prasad Dubeyji who later on realizing the potential of his disciple ordered him to take forward the Kriya Yoga lineage in the largest interest of mankind. Presently Gurudev Dr Sudhin Ray is carrying out the orders of his revered Gurudev initiating deserving seekers into Kriya Yoga since 2000 for which he has laid the foundation of RYKY Mission. Dr Sudhin Ray has authored some books in Bengali like Kriyayoga Prosange Alochana (Vol I to IV), Adhyatmikta, Kriyayoga Aar Atmabodh while few are in the pipeline. Also the translation of Gurudev’s works in English and Hindi are being done by some of his disciples. One such disciple Shri Shiv Kumar Jha has brilliantly translated into Hindi the Bengali version of Adhyatmikta, Kriyayoga Aar Atmabodh under the title Adhyatmikta, Kriyayoga Avom Atmabodh. All the books including the book Kriya Yoga Rahasya in Hindi authored by Shri Maheshwari Prasad Dubey as well as its translated version in Bengali are available at the registered office of Raj Yoga Kriya Yoga Mission against nominal prices.
