Mahavatar Babaji - Kriya Kundalini Pranayama Yoga - Hinduism - India
Mahāvatār Bābājī (Great Avatar)
is the name given to an
Indian yogi by Yogiraj Lahiri
Mahasaya, and several of his
disciples, who reported meeting
him between 1861, 1935 and 1980.
Some of these meetings were
described by Paramahansa
Yogananda in his book
Autobiography of a Yogi,
including a report of
Yogananda's own meeting with
the yogi.
Another account was given by
Sri Yukteswar Giri in his book
The Holy Science.
According to Sri M's autobiography
Babaji was Lord Shiva. In the
second last chapter of his book,
he mentions Babaji changing his
form to that of Lord Shiva.
According to Yogananda's
autobiography, Babaji has
resided for at least hundreds of
years in the remote Himalayan
regions of India.
At the age of eleven, he
made a difficult journey
on foot and by boat with a
group of ascetics to Kataragama,
Sri Lanka. Nagaraj met Siddha
Bhogarnathar and became
his disciple.
Nagaraj performed intensive
yogic sadhana for a long time
with him. Bhogarnathar inspired
Nagaraj to seek his initiation
into Kriya Kundalini Pranayam
from Siddha Maharishi Agastya.
Babaji became a disciple of
Siddha Agastya. Nagaraj was
initiated into the secrets of
Kriya Kundalini Pranayama.
