Mahavatar babaji cave visited by Rajinikanth – performed babaji kriya yoga
Mahavatar babaji cave was recently visited by Tamil superstar Rajinikanth who has performed babaji kriya yoga. Some of Rajini kanth babaji photos are here for our readers.
Mahavatar Babaji is the name given to an Indian saint by Lahiri Mahasaya and several of his disciples who met Mahavatar Babaji between 1861 and 1935. Some of these meetings were described by Paramahansa Yogananda in his book Autobiography of a Yogi (1946), including a first hand telling of Yogananda’s own meeting with Mahavatar Babaji.
Mahavatar Babaji’s given name and date of birth are not known, so those who met him during that period all called him by the title first given to him by Lahiri Mahasaya. “Mahavatar” means “great avatar”, and “Babaji” simply means “revered father”. Lahiri Mahasaya wrote in his diary that Mahavatar Babaji was Lord Krishna.
Kriya Yoga revived by Mahavatar babaji
Babaji revives Kriya Yoga, which Siddha Patanjali refers to in his famous “Yoga-Sutras.” Patanjali wrote his classic text of yoga about the 3rd century A.D. In it he defines Kriya Yoga in II.1 as “constant practice (particularly by the cultivation of detachment), self-study and devotion to the Lord.” However, along with what Patanjali described as Kriya Yoga, Babaji added the teachings of the tantra, which includes the cultivation of “kundalini,” the great potential power and consciousness, through the use of breathing, mantras and devotional practices. His modern synthesis of “Kriya Yoga,” includes a rich variety of techniques. It was in 1861 that Babaji initiated Lahiri Mahasaya into his powerful Kriya Yoga system.
Kriya Yoga pilgrimage is conducted in south India every year which was attended by sevearl film stars and foreigners.

I would like to have more information about Babaji.I am not a very staunch follower , as I have recently came to know about him and the kriya yoga. I want more information and would like to have indepth knowledge so that we can spread the awareness.

Baba is an example in life
Do not follow. Understand him. Read the book “Autobiography of a yogi” to get an idea.
Understand your self is basic. Visiting cave will not yield anything unless you have a feeling of detachment with things around you. (Magnets,only when apart-detached , have more attachment). If you have more wish for other things, do not crave for people like baba’s cave.
If you wnat to know nature vist Himalaya or at least upto Deva prayag (where from Ganga starts when Alakananda and Bhagirathi joins- 70Kms from Rishikesh).

Have heard and came to know about it around mideighties. Have used Babaji’s name and prayed to him and instant help came. Guidance comes in the form of taking the right decisions whenever one asks for it from Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Yukteshwargiri or Yogananda. It is really amazing.

April 23rd, 2010
Not much is known about Mahavtar Babaji. Perhaps we should not try to understand him because he represents the ultimate reality which defies understanding and analysis. By practicing Kriya regularly we can go close to him spiritually.

pranams to gurudev mahavatar babaji,
babaji always say, guru krupahi kevalam and matrukrupahi kevalam,
his message is always is surrender your ego to the lotus feet of guru, and take up
the path of light i.e, kriya yoga. raja yoga is the only answer for all queries it is beyond comprehension A state of advaidta.

pranams to babaji, babaji says guru krupa is the essence of the sishya
implicit faith in guruji,followed by devotion will bring close to his grace.
he appears whenever he wishes not otherway round.Practice kriya under an able master, the master will search for the sincere sishya if babaji grace is there.see babaji grace while practcing kriya.
gurukrupa,
matrukrupa hi kevelam.
