    Soka,

    Two of the image clues are for historians who closely keep track of all previous puzzles. :)

    Answer for Puzzle @ 8167
    [​IMG]


    "LAHARI MAHASAYA"

    The entire first row and first three images in the second row give only his alias and original names.

    Row 1
    Image 1 - The Key word is Yogi
    Image 2 - The Key word is Raj
    Lahiri Mahasaya is popularly known as "Yogiraj".
    Image 3 - The key word is "Kasi"
    Image 4 - The key word is "Baba
    Lahiri Mahasaya is another popularly known name is "Kashi Baba".
    Row 2
    Image 1 - The key word is "Shyama"
    Image 2 - The key word is "Charan"
    Image 3 - The key word is "Lahiri
    Lahiri Mahasaya's real name is "Shyama Charan Lahiri"
    Image 4 - Paramahamsa Yogananda talks about Lahiri Mahasaya, his Guru extensively in his book "Autobiography of Yogi".
    Row 3
    Image 1 - Thanks Giving
    Image 2 - Puzzle
    These two images together would reveal the answer is solution posted by @Gowri03 in her index as Thanks Giving Puzzle # 110. That is why I have made the comments that the historians of puzzles will know the answer.
    Image 3 & 4 - Together indicates "Kriya Yoga" also known as "Kundalini Yoga"

    Mahasaya means in Sanskrit "large-minded", the clue given by @Gauri03.

    "First and last among the greats" is the clue given by @sokanasanah. I will let him explain as he always comes with a very unique answer that I would never guess. "Music has no relation only Musician's name" is the clue from @jskls meaning "Shyama" is the first name of one of the three great musicians but this person has no connection to music. @kaniths gave the clue "Kriya Yogi" meaning the one who propagated Kriya Yoga to the world.

    Kriya Yoga was taught by Patanjali initially and then when Lahiri Mahasaya claimed to have met with Mahavatar Babaji in Ranikhet and learned how to teach Kriya Yoga to many disciples and spread Kriya Yoga throughout the world. It is known as a method to achieve self realization.

    Here's an amuse-bouche of a puzzle, above - one gulp and you're done!
    Easy, if you don't overthink it. As always, I have laid it on pretty thick, with some mild obfuscation & complexification. :wink1:

    If it takes you more than a few minutes, you're probably on the wrong track. No prior knowledge required. It is solvable even if you can't tell the difference between a 4 x 4 and a physicist! :lol:

    As usual, the puzzle is an excuse to bring something interesting to your attention in case you didn't already know about it. Unusually, this is something I expect quite a few people here to know!

    It is both jokey and real. What is it?

    I should have said: "If it takes you more than a few minutes to get most/all the clues you're probably on the wrong track". The integration is designed to be mildly tricky!:wink1:

    No clue! The first two rows are easy to decipher, despite owing singer sewing machine at home and not the one of your choice. With row#1 and row#2 you synthesise the puzzle but nothing qualifies the further amuse-bouche. ah! This is funnily exciting karke!

    Good! That's by design. Fairly easy clues, one or two slightly demanding of Google-Fu. Then it's all in the final integration.:lol:
