I know this is going to be a shattering and devastating thought, but what if there is no one 2000/500 years old and he is just an imagination? I know he sits on the altar, on the table you do psychic reading or the painting in your hall, but, I just have my doubts.
Where did I come to know about Babajee? Of course from the book called “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Swami Yogananda. I believed and followed the path. I went on to learn the Kriya Yoga. I learnt a lot of meditation techniques that took a lot many years of my life and for which I am thankful.
But when it came to the great gurus I am ‘Now Skeptical’!
Yes, I know the importance of guru. The Sanatan dharma has always emphasised on the importance of guru to an extent where they say first bow before guru and then God.
I learned from Yogada Satsang a term called spiritual indigestion that when elaborated meant your incapability to distinguish between right and the wrong spiritual teaching. Another says - when you think of something too much you start manifesting, lets keep this aside and keep our stuffs simple.
Mahavatar Babajee was first seen and claimed by Lahiri Mahashaya. Then by a lot of highly spiritual enhanced beings, as per their own claims. Lahari Mahashaya in one of his talks said - he is Krishna, and followed another that said I am him, quite an appraisal.
His direct disciple Yuketswar Giri, writer of The Holy science, also claimed that he met Mahavatar who resembled Lahiri Mahasaya. Latter a lots of sheeps claimed about the resemblance. But when you try matching the photos of the two, both are different one has a cheek bone while the other is pulpy, the prior has a half close eyes while the latter is almost invisible.
Coming back to the claims of Lahiri Mahasaya of being Mahavatar which is directly proportional of being Krishna. Sri M another witness writes in his book that Mahavtar became Shiva in front of him. No sir I am not buying the theory of united ‘power’ corporation at this point.
Further, when Yogananda writes about him, he talks about Krishna and Christ. Yes, Krishna from another Yuga, we don’t have any proves of our existence prior to 2200 years, and Christ who was first mentioned somewhere 300 after his claimed last walk on earth.
India has always been a land of spirituality, realisation and miracles. But here is one person now incharge of Himalayas. All the great Gurus have one common master Mahavtar Babajee. You walk to Himalayas and you know the truth and then end up selling your Ferrari.
There are a lot of stories of Great Gurus and the great knowledge and superhuman powers they possessed BUT they all were humans and not in hiding.
The way Kriya Yoga is practised is also strange you need to have a altar like a witch and have photos of everyone from Krishna, Christ, Mahaavtar followed by your linage. On earth how did they managed so many photos before printing press reached Himalayas. Have you seen the marriage ceremony of the Kriya Yogis performed by Swami Yoganada as directed by Gurus, youtube, you will die laughing.
I do not doubt the existence of great Gurus in India. We had Devraha Baba whose age is said to be more than a couple of centuries, I met a nath Yogi in Mount Abu who is 140 years and still as fit as I, I met another at my hometown Ranchi who is 116 years old. We have Kashmiri Baba in Junagarh - people claims his age is more than 150 years. So we have example but all have proofs that we can see.
The Nath yogis of India have a concept - the body is meant to perish. Stories make us feel better and a supporting shoulder is miracle. But Spiritual journey is all about practising and realising.
Lets not believe in Rajnikant’s Guru like his movies, Explore!
