Message
from Babaji:
Love and serve all humanity.
Assist everyone. Be happy, be courteous.
|
|
In the foothills
of the Himalayas in the
eternal truths, but he focused
the teaching on present day problems.Kumoan region - the birthplace of many of India's great saints - lived Haidakhan Wale Babaji. Paramahansa Yogananda called Mahavatar Babaji the 'Yoga-Christ of modern India'. Babaji is a great manifestation
of the Divine,
His teaching is supportive
of all religions
|

Babaji's manifestations
came at a time when humanity is undergoing major changes and challenges
that have a potential for purification and the elevation of the whole human
race - and, by example and teaching, helps transform a few people who may
be inspired to share the teachings and help humanity take a few more steps
forward on the path toward conscious reunion with the Divine source of
this whole Creation.
Babaji is a spiritual being who serves constantly as a link between the formless Divine and the physical creation, between God and humankind. He states that he is a manifestation of Lord Shiva, one of the names India gives to the divine - a form of God known as a renunciate, a helper, and the greatest of Teachers. |

He does not
make an issue of his divinity. It helps in the transmission of his teachings
if the disciple acknowledges that divinity, but he accepts any honest seeker
of Truth who is ready and open to learning and spiritual growth.
People saw him in many roles - as Lord Shiva, the Supreme Guru, purifier, friend, the Divine Child, the Divine Mother, Divine Father, Supreme Yogi, a healer, an Immortal. His is all of those things and we see in him that for which we look. His chief concern is with the human spirit or soul - that in humankind which is closest to the Divine, which carries the spark of the divine. He teaches from a point of seeing the Creator and all of the Creation as One. He sees the whole Creation as the Manifestation of the Divine. |

All forms - human and other
- are so tightly interrelated that we cannot abuse one form without disrupting
the rest; and that interrelationship is so close that beneficial actions
offered by one created being to another have beneficial results throughout
the whole universe. The very vibrations of our emotions or being have effects
throughout the Creation. Babaji seeks to bring humankind back to an awareness
of its unity with the Divine and with all other created forms in the universe.
He comes not to espouse any particular religion - he says all religions
lead to the Divine - but to show and teach a way of life. Babaji called
this way of life Sanatan Dharma - the Eternal Way or Law or Truth.
He indicated that the Creation was manifested and is extended and maintained in accordance with the Sanatan Dharma; that humanity's deviations from this Law of Life create imbalances and disruptions in the harmonious operation of the Universe, and that he comes to help restore balance and the Sanatan Dharma. He teaches people and shows by his example that leading lives based on Truth, Simplicity and Love can restore to the individual, to societies, and to our whole world the inner peace and balance on which alone world peace and social justice can be established |

Discipline
- of mind and body - is an essential element of Babaji's teaching; without
discipline and hard work, nothing valuable
is achieved. Babaji looked not only to one's inner spirit but to the results, the products, of people's lives. He looked for beneficial action performed in harmony with the Divine Will and all of Creation . |
 |

Babaji lived and taught
squarely against the Western quip of 'you only live once'. He taught from
the position that the human soul, like its Source and Goal, is eternal
and that the essence and experience (of millions of lifetimes in various
forms) of the soul proceeds in a continuum from life to life. Each life
in human form is a opportunity and challenge to build toward perfection
of the soul, which returns again and again (through reincarnation) until
the soul attains perfection. The Soul's goal is to return to a state of
unity with the Divine Perfection from which is came and from whence it
has strayed in its experiencing itself and life's
pleasures through constantly expanding senses and the concept of itself as an individual body, rather than as a manifestation of the Supreme Soul. Each lifetime can take the should and its temporary human body closer to the goal of reunion, or we can throw away a lifetime's opportunity through carelessness, ignorance or wilfulness. |

In his teaching
and life, Babaji used miraculous powers, but indicated (as have other Masters)
that they are at by anyone who
can exercise the discipline to focus his or her mind and follow their Path to unity with the Divine. When he had given his message, through example, experience and teaching, Babaji left, in order that people might absorb the message and learn to live in Truth, Simplicity and Love, rather than to blindly follow his charming and beautiful presence like so many sheep. Babaji's last appearance was from 1970 to 1984 and even today although not in a form Babaji's presence and individual teachings are still felt by many people across the globe. He appears to people in their meditation and dreams and continues to inspire and guide those who he calls. |
