Origin[]

Lahiri Mahasaya was an Indian holy man, a yogi, who revived Kriya Yoga. One of his teachings was that one must not consider oneself to own, or be owned, by anything considering that all material things are lost upon death. One must strive for God and enlightenment on Earth rather than fleeting possessions. Believed that meditation was the answer to difficult questions, as man's innate intuition and God's inner light would guide one through difficulties.

This artifact was used by Artie under the effects of Ferdinand Magellan's Astrolabe to indicate to the Steinbruk family that he was from the Warehouse and to be trusted in the episode "We All Fall Down".

Usage[]

Forms an apparition of a cobra out of the smoke that is contained within the basket. The snake can't actual hurt anyone, but it will make every effort to scare people. Those unattached to earthy things will only see smoke.

Collection[]

Cataranga won this off a pawn shop owner over a game of chess.
