Mahavatar Babaji (IAST: Mahāvatāra Bābājī; lit. 'Great Avatar (Revered) Father ') [a] is a legendary immortal yogi and guru, who is said to be living in the Himalayas.
In the 1960’s, I too had a vision of Babaji. In due course, he led me to my two Gurus, both great disciples of the immortal Babaji. Following decades in training with Yogi S.A.A. Ramaiah and Sri Rudranand Giri Maharaj, Babaji took over directly.
The northern Himalayan crags near Badrinarayan are still blessed by the living presence of Babaji, guru of Lahiri Mahasaya. The secluded master has retained his physical form for centuries, perhaps for millenniums.
Babaji, also commonly known as Mahavatar Babaji, is the name of an ageless Indian siddha yogi said to reside somewhere in the Himalayas. He is said to have discipled some of the most prominent spiritual teachers of the 19th and 20th Century, including Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar Giri, and Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi.
Mahavatar Babaji is the 'deathless' guru who revived the lost scientific meditation technique of Kriya Yoga. Read the original biography of Babaji Maharaj. Paramahansa Yogananda first introduced to the world about Babaji's spiritual mission and his life.
Mahavatar Babaji is the Guru of all the Gurus on Earth, The Teacher of Teachers. Mahavatar Babaji Maharaj is both ageless and eternally young. Sometimes he is formless, while at other times, he appears before his disciples in any form he wishes to liberate humanity from its worldly fetters.
Babaji was a great siddha, one who had overcome ordinary human limitations, and who worked silently, behind the scenes for the spiritual evolution of all humanity.
