Mahavatar Babaji

Mahavatar Babaji (IAST: Mahāvatāra Bābājī; lit. ’Great Avatar (Revered) Father’) is the name given to his guru by Indian Yogi Yogiraj Lahiri Mahasaya (1828-1895), and several of his disciples, who reportedly appeared to them between 1861 and 1985, as described in various publications and biographies. According to Yogananda’s autobiography, Babaji has resided for at least hundreds of years in the remote Himalayan regions of India, seen in person by only a small number of disciples and others.
