According south Indian Kriya yoga tradition, Babaji is Shiva in the human form on Earth throughout the present age, quietly guiding seekers and teaching people on their spiritual quest.

The most of us first learned about Babaji through popular book Autobiography of a Yogi, written by Paramahansa Yogananda and first copy issued in 1946. In this spiritual book, Yogananda tells that Babaji is a timeless master whose wisdom and compassion have guided great holy men and spiritual teachers since ages.

Since the issuing the first copy of Autobiography of a Yogi, millions of readers around the world have come to know the story of Mahavatar Babaji. Although Babaji lives in solitude without drawing public attention, we believe that he is watching us with love, guiding us, protecting us, and inspiring to those who sincerely seek God and spiritual truth.

Today, Babaji’s divine cave in the Himalayan mountains of Dwarahat range of Uttarakhand, India, has flourished a site of pilgrimage where Babaji came to meet Lahiri Mahasaya. today pilgrims and seekers come to meditate, pray, and experience the peace associated with this extraordinary spiritual Himalayan master.
