(His mother is a Lahiri, of Lahiri Mahasaya fame — as immortalised in Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi: the book credited with introducing yoga to the west).

Mitter is a teacher who can deliver fast-track — and low cost — enlightenment. In my experience, Mitter promises much and delivers more.”
