Letter written by Yogiraj Shyama Charan Lahiree Mahashaya
Author of the book 'Purana Purusha' - Yogacharya Dr. Ashoke Kumar Chatterjee was born in 1933 in West Bengal. The sudden demise of his mother when he was away in service intensely agonized him. He grew averse to material pursuits and became spirituality inclined. He received initiation in Kriyayoga in April 1961.
Yogacharya ji is the disciple of Shri Satya Charana Lahiree Mahashaya, grandson of Yogiraj Lahiree Mahashaya.
Yogacharya Dr. Ashoke Kumar Chatterjee authored various books on Kriya Yoga, 'Purana Purusha' being one of them. 'Purana Purusha' logically depicts the most subtle Kriya Realizations of Lahiree Mahashaya. The book is directly based on the 26 personal diaries written by yogiraj lahiree Mahashaya Himself.
Yogacharya ji's teachings are based on mainly three very basic questions -
"Where have we come from?"
"Where do we have to go?"
"How to reach the destination and attain stillness?"
He teaches kriyayoga adhering to the standards set by Yogiraj Lahiree Mahashaya without any modification in the practice itself, with an experience spanning over more than five decades.
People irrespective of caste, creed, color, nation, language, gender are all eligible for Kriya Yoga. He has large following throughout India and abroad like USA, England, France, Spain, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Bangladesh etc.
He expounds that all-pervasive Prana is dharma and God. The total creation of man, insects, animals, trees, water, earth, air, fire, sky all have the same dharma and belong to one Master. God is Still State of Prana. If Prana who inheres in the body-temple is nursed Universal Love will prevail and eternal peace be reinstated.
He has adhered to the ideals of Yogiraj by juxtaposing total domestic existence with yogic discipline as shown by Yogiraj Lahiree Mahashaya himelf.

French 35 mm camera Foca model "Standard" manufactured in the OPL (Optique & Précision de Levallois ) factory of Chateaudun, Eure, France, year 1959-1960.
This is the entry model of PF ("Petit Format") OPL Foca camera's with 36 mm screw mount lens. The camera was the evolution and the former Foca PF1 (1 star) with the possibility to interchange lenses with the 36mm OPL screw mount. The regular lens delivered with the Foca Standard was the Oplar 1:3.5 f=3,5 cm, a wide-angle (non retrofocus) lens more easy to use for zone focusing. The PF, as the Standard, had no range finder and was equipped by default with an integrated finder matching the field of the 35 mm lens. The focal shutter is also limited in the range 1/25 to 1/500s . The Foca Standard was a very reliable and endurant camera that was preferred for intensive uses for industry or by the "photo-filmeurs" in the 50 and early 60's.
This specific camera was first purchased in Nîmes, Gard, France, on August 12, 1960 in FOTOCINE shop, rue de la République. The warranty ticket was still conserved in the ever-ready leather bag with the camera. I found a Fuji HR100 negative color film inside exposed to the view 30 or 31.
The camera is not in good condition concerning the shutter curtains that are cracking in the polymer face causing light porosity. The command of the diaphragm is also a bit problematic. By means (that I should not describe) I restored the curtains enough for a test film. I used a Fomapan Action 400 film exposed for 250 ISO. The film was developed in Adox Adonal 1+25 for 6min at 20°C.
During the test session I also used a new laser range finder to determine some object distances. The results indicate that further works are necessary to make the curtains light-tight (the best would be to change them for new ones) and find better spring settings for correct curtains travels at 1/100 and 1/50s.

'C' Class ('Ca' Group) Standard War Emergency Destroyer HMS Cavalier, 1,710 tons, launched, completed and commissioned 1944, decommissined 1972, the last WWII destroyer in the Royal Navy. At Chatham Historic Dockyard, 3 March 2019. She served in the Home Fleet escorting carrier strikes on the Norway coast and on Arctic Convoys in 1944-45 and in 1945 in the East Indies Fleet where she took part in the Battle of Surabaya, followed by a period in the Pacific Fleet before paying off in 1946. Pictured are some bunks squeezed in a corridor!
These photos were taken while HMS Rose was on a Great Lakes Tour in August 1994 with a stopover in Thunder Bay . I used a Pentax K1000 film camera at the time and made digital copies from the prints. I hope that the tall ships return in the future as they are really something to see.
A short history from Wikipedia :HMS Rose was a 20-gun (Seaford-class)[1] sixth-rate post ship of the Royal Navy, built in Hull, England in 1757. The Replica was built in Lunenburg N.S. in 1970 Her activities in suppressing smuggling in the colony of Rhode Island provoked the formation of what became the Continental Navy, precursor of the modern United States Navy. She was based at the North American station in the West Indies and then used in the American Revolutionary War. She was scuttled in the harbor of Savannah, Georgia in 1779. A replica was built in 1970, then modified to match HMS Surprise, and used in two films, Master and Commander: Far Side of the World and Pirates of the Caribbean:
Renamed, Surprise, the vessel is now a part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego as a dockside attraction.
A very original car, the only modification seemed to be that side exit exhaust. I'm not a fan of it personally.
