Ascended Master -  Babaji

Please note this image is only a partial print of the original to show you some detail.

Information:

Babaji urged people to "follow the religion that is in your heart" and taught that he had come to revive the Santana Dharma, the ageless Eternal Religion from which all religions have come. He stressed three basic principles: Truth, Simplicity and Love.  He emphasized constant repetition of the mantra "Om Namah Shivaya" - "I surrender to God" and selfless service to mankind.

Babaji's devotees believe that he has continually manifested since Creation to help humanity. One manifestation of Babaji was around 1800 when he travelled extensively in the Kumaon region of the Himalayas, gathering his devotees and disciples. In 1922 he traveled to the meeting place of the Kali and Gori Rivers, seated himself on the surface of the water and disappeared in a ball of light. 

Babaji's recent physical manifestation was between 1970 to 1984, when he appeared in a holy cave near the remote village of Haidakhan, India. Haidakhan Wale Baba lived in the foothills of the Himalayas, in the Kumaon region.

 Shri Babaji is acknowledged as the Shiva Mahavatar Babaji described by Paramahansa Yogananda in the book "Autobiography of a Yogi”: 

A Mahavatar is the human manifestation of the Divine who can materialize a body at will.

His divine power has been experienced in many ways: in September 1970 he ascended Mount Kailash and sat on the summit without food or sleep for 45 days; several people saw him simultaneously in different places; he healed the sick; and brought transformation into many people's lives.  He built a large and breathtakingly beautiful Temple and Ashram overlooking the Himalayas.

Babaji left his body on 14 February 1984.  He had come to give a message to the world and having done this, left.  His last message was: "I am always with you".

Babaji chose not to take his ascension/final liberation by reason of the Bodhisattva vow, which means he desires to stay on earth and assist mankind until everyone has gained immortal freedom. Yogananda says, "Babaji is ageless. No one knows how old he is."

Some people say he is hundreds or thousands of years old.  His body shows no sign of ageing and he needs no physical food, therefore he seldom eats.  Also he is only recognized if he wants to be.
