It was on the 18th of June, 2008 that an exquisite incident took place in my life which will have a long life impact on me. Therefore, it has become necessary for me to narrate it as I am convinced that this experience will influence the following posts of my blog as well, such is its overall deep impact. So Mandira, to let you know what was it, my story goes something like this…
Around 12.30 p.m. on that day, I completed my daily chores, feeling very fresh after a good bath. I came in my room and ignited two musk incense sticks on the altar to remember God, it is my daily ritual. As you know, these days my sleep pattern is irregular and erratic, so I decided to rest a while before lunch. I put my head on the pillow under the fan and began to feel relaxed as the cool air from the fan had a cooling effect on my wet hair and gave me a respite from the sweat and heat of the day. For me, all this was like any other normal day, but I soon discovered that I was wrong as it proved to be otherwise.
As the alluring scent of the musk incense sticks spread around me and in the room, it had a very soothing effect on me and the whole atmosphere was baptized. My mind became calm and the whole body felt very rejuvenated and light. My eyes closed gently on their own and I, like a gentle breeze, then drifted into another world very far away. My mind began to dissolve slowly as though I was melting away gently in a vast, deep ocean. I was getting cut off from the outside sensory world and entering the space of a higher domain which is not accessible easily. I reached and entered a Space that is very high and far away from the earth’s gravitational pull. May be higher than the skies. Then……most unexpectedly, the visual image of Mahavatar Babaji appeared before my closed eyes and in a flash of a moment it captivated me completely.
I began to float and I saw that there was a very thin sheath around me that was wrapping me like an envelop which broke, releasing me from a kind of a cover and a chain of bondage. The release gave me more freedom of movement in the upper skies or ether and I began to soar higher and higher like a light feather in the limitless sky. I was floating as though there was no gravity and I lost the sense of body consciousness and felt free at last!
At this juncture, Babaji spoke to me in a very sweet and gentle voice, “From now on, you will write from this height.”
Mahavatar Babaji, for the reader’s convenience, is an immortal soul living and moving presently in the vicinity of Shri Badrinath temple in the Himalayas. He is ever young and like Spirit, eternal and deathless. He is now more than 1,800 years old in age but His body is beyond the physical laws of decay and degeneration and therefore he is forever young. He has a world wide mission of uplifting mankind through spiritual evolution. It is Divine will that unless his prescribed mission is completed, he will not forsake his physical body.
His built is firm and complexion very fair and he has long, knee length flowing copper colour hair. He wears ochre colour dhoti or a long cloth wrapped around his waist and shoulder and he usually carries a stick or danda with him while walking.
His countenance and body glow brilliantly and the eyes are dark, deep and serene.
His smile is mysterious and enchanting while his speech reminds me of the tinkling of tiny mellifluous bells in the ears, a sheer delight and entrancing melody!
Babaji’s work includes helping humanity to rise above nationality, religion and individual self. He is extremely concerned about the current world issues and the worsening situation. The various cause of concerns are -the rapid erosion of the world environment, the unchecked spread of consumerism, greed and exploitation by the politicians and people in power, unhealthy environment and increasing pollution, the indifference of man towards his fellow men and other living animate and inanimate creatures as well, the rude and shocking exploitation of the natural resources and most important of all these is- The slow erosion of eternal spiritual values and principles known as Sanatan Dharma on which humanity thrives.
He believes in and wishes to create an egalitarian society for man’s happiness, prosperity and well being. He strives to unite the nations and spreads awareness of oneness of God through the science of Yoga and meditation and some other lost ancient techniques of God union. He preaches Love. He wishes to spread love through his teachings and kind words and he uses people to accomplish his uphill task diligently. His work goes on silently and He is capable of appearing and disappearing at will. He possesses many extra ordinary mind boggling yogic powers and multitude siddhis but he applies them only for the benefit and good of others in desperate need.
He can take on various forms and can speak just about any language of the world in which the recipient can communicate, but his own favourite is Hindi. His medium of transport is ether and mode of communication telepathy and intuition. He can appear in two or more than two forms and places at the same time as the need may require him to be.
Babaji’s body is made up of pure Divine Light and where ever He goes, there is a huge halo surrounding him. He is most of the time moving and has no requirement of food, water or sleep. He lives on Cosmic Light alone. He does not feel cold even in the severest of cold conditions. He meditates deeply in the caves of the craggy mountains near the river Alaknanda and lives with some of his devoted and trusted disciples in an ashram on the hills of the Himalayas invisible to all but visible to just a few if he so desires. He does not come out open in the public and leads a reclusive life in the quietude of the solitary mountains in shrouded mystery. Only those people are able to see or perceive him on whom his blessings fall gently like a divine shower of compassion and Love. It is because of our past life good karmas that he takes charge of our lives and spiritual growth. If it is destined that he come in our life as a messenger of God, then he shall.
His aura has the power of transformation and he has divine powers to change the fate and fortune of a faithful and devoted disciples and devotees. He loves those who have love and devotion in their heart, who do good and pray for others and are concerned and involved with the welfare of the society. He showers profuse blessings on those people who are pure in heart and blesses them many times who are unselfish and devoid of any evil tendencies.
He gives darshan to those who remember him in distress or are in a dire need or call him out with a clean heart for spiritual help and guidance. Through telepathic communion, he guides them in their spiritual efforts and sadhana though not physically present with them. The recipients many a times do not even ever become aware of the fact that they have or had received telepathic messages or subtle hints planted by Babaji for their advancement and growth. Such is His humility and compassion for mankind. He will relieve them from both- the worldly and spiritual sufferings in this as well as in their future lives yet to come by helping them working out their karmas of previous lives and of their present life too. He undertakes long term projects for us which are although time consuming and very far-sighted, but they involve and concern only the welfare and progressive evolution of our soul. ( Please visit The process of liberation and Our lives are in our hands-II to understand his nature and characteristics better)
He indicates and shows people their path of salvation by helping them do those right deeds and actions. He makes them fearless by giving strength to face their difficult and demanding present life situations. He provides them mental and spiritual power to overcome the heavy burden of karmic suffering and misgivings and in return gives them peace, contentment and knowledge to elevate their sufferings.
All this is very important and please listen to this carefully now. Keep your mind fully focused and absorbed in what is being told to you and retain it very well for times to come, my child.
Once the devotee is liberated and free from karmic obligations, He involves him or her in the world wide mission of God’s continuous work of human upliftment. He blesses those lavishly who do not consider themselves to be the doer of any action and whose heart and mind are devoid of any pride, vanity or prejudice. Blessed are those who realize one day and know that we all are the children of one God and selfishness, hatred, jealousy, contempt, hostility have no place in our heart. We must forsake all these undesired thoughts and beliefs as they are the doors of hell and untold misery.
Good actions such as brotherhood, unity of all religions, love, compassion, kindness, empathy, mutual co-operation and understanding are dear to God as we are all God’s children. Blessed are those who live and work for God, who worship God through service and God manifests in those people who worship mankind !
Dear Mandira, to wrap up this post, I am inclined to add one poem which I wrote in the early days of March this year in a meditative mood one evening. I hope you will appreciate the theme behind it and try to live up to that.
Grace in solitude
————————————
Solitude is the time when the soul comes in direct contact with the Spirit. The Spirit, the source of true knowledge and understanding.
As I returned from a quiet evening walk to my abode, the Spirit silently descended over my being and revealed to me that was so far unknown.
I remembered a dear soul whose heart ached and could no longer hold its own weight. My heart went out to give solace and tend to this tired soul.
Our ache and helplessness became one, from where came the source of the pain and who was sharing it became blurred.
His pain became mine and I the source of his load, the way it is difficult to differentiate the light from its glowing radiance.
Just then my eyes became moist and wet, and a drop of tear filled the eyes.
My heart was filled with a mild and poignant pang and in no time it took over my complete self.
How else can I give relief and more comfort to the soul who wants to help itself but does not know how to do so?
A few fleeting moments passed by when my Spirit, in the form of a Voice spoke to me in a calm tone – “Vasudeva is very pleased with you. You have risen many steps upward today.”
“Higher than the worship of deities is the worship of Guru. Higher still is the worship of mankind.
God is worshiped best if worshiped through mankind. Those who love and worship humanity is loved the most by God himself.”
Note: To know and read more about Sri Mahavatar Babaji, read the book ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ by Sri Paramhansa Yogananda, chapter 33.

Thanks for visiting my blog and expressing your opinion. All that glitters is not gold. The level of spiritual state of revd Sri Mahavatar Babaji is inconceivable by the average mind. Whenever two or more people gather in one place, there is bound to be some case of condradiction, conflict and apathy. The only way to really know the real character of Sri Mahavatar Babaji is to meditate on Him, either by keeping his image fixed on the third eye, or by chanting his name reverentially or meditate on Him as pure Light. I may write another article on ‘The Light of the world- Sri Mahavatar Babaji-II’ to provide more insight. Please stay tuned. Warm regards. Sarika.
Dear Sarika:
I want to thank you so very much for taking the time to share your beautiful and uplifting experiences with our most beloved Sri Mahavatar Babaji in your blog. I was delighted to find this a few days ago.
I am very fortunate to be in the lineage of Sri Parmahansa Yoganandaji and am very much connecting with your words. I just returned from my first trip to India and wish I would have known about you before I was there as I was wishing that I could connect with other Kriya yogis there. Well, I got my wish when I returned! 🙂
I want to say to David Hunter that I agree with your sentiments about people making money off of spirituality, especially when they makes things up, but you know, the Europeans who do not know any better are on their path. It is good that they are seeking. Who knows what it could lead to? Maybe it is not for us to judge their path. Those who can open their hearts will know what is true. I don’t think that Sri Mahavatar Babaji would be very interested in punishing anybody because he is all about Unconditional Love and that means also to let others find their way; because all paths lead to God….eventually, right?
It takes some people longer than others, but the point is that they are seeking, even if it seems ridiculous to those who have more knowledge. If we ourselves can be tolerant and focus on seeking out our own illumination, we will be a light in this world to help guide the others who have an interest in their spiritual development. Let us encourage them to look deeply and let them know that this is possible. And teach them. That is why I love Sarika’s blog because she is teaching. Please help others to find her words.
Namaste,
Claudette
Dear Claudette, it feels great to know you thru the blog. I should be thanking you for spending your precious time to find out what I wish to say!!I am very surprised at myself as to how could I ever write about Babaji and his imposing stature. It is his given shakti to me that can reveal something about himself. Words flow because He wants His devotees to reach out to Him thru this medium. I feel blessed singing His praises and it is never enough.
I am trying to contribute whatever is in my capacity to spread His words. Hope my efforts give peace, solutions to problems and spiritual guidance to those who have faith and are willing to aspire. You have explained to David Hunter better than me, thanks for that. My namaste to you. Sarika
Dear Sarika:
Who knew that technology would be so positive for spiritual matters? We are very fortunate to have this medium to communicate through your blog, as we probably would not have the opportunity otherwise. Thank God Sri Sri Babaji is speaking through you. I have been wanting to connect with him in a more substantial way and this is an answer to my prayers. Once again, I am grateful for your service to those of us here on the earth plane by sharing his wisdom and Love!
My daughter found your blog one day after we were speaking about my Guruji and Sri Mahavatar Babaji. She is also seeking, as your daughter is, and I am thinking that maybe they are close in age.
I am very encouraged that many young ones are seeking the light and trying to do something to bring more balance to themselves and to this world. They need all of the support that we can give them now.
I feel that many souls are now incarnating on the planet who can lead the collective to where we have not yet been able to go. It is an exciting time and I am happy to be here now, even though I am in a western country. Many people here are waking up and realizing that there are more important things than striving for material possessions. We are indebted to the saints and sages of India and Asia for helping us to find the path.
Namaste to you, my Friend.
Claudette
Dear friend Claudette,
Namaste.It feels good to hear from you, more so because of what you think. Who knows that you could be an Indian soul but in the western country to tide over your karmas of destiny? Dispassion over materialistic cravings and thoughts is the call of the day as we see the global transformation and inclination towards consumerism in every society. In the process we are slowly losing ourselves and also our spiritual insight.More and more people should awake and understand that a balance between spiritual upliftment and material progress can be balanced provided first the base of spirituality is made very strong.
The role of spiritual teachers is very important as they are the torchbearers and we, as parents must pass on the legacy to our future generations.
As a seeker of truth and peace, I will walk that extra mile as my token of gratitude for my beloved masters.
We will stay in touch.
Affly
Sarika
(As I wanted others to read your good thoughts, I did not reply thru email.)
Your are bless with blessing of Babaji.
Those who know Babaji, who listen to his glory with devotion and who remember him with reverence are blessed. Those who are reading about him are blessed too. Anyone who recieves his instructions and teachings are blessed by him.
Feels great to visit this Blog. To know more about Mahavatar Babaji…….
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation
Dear Sarikaji,
Wonderful to read this post of Sri Mahavatar Babaji here. I have not met him yet but have prayed many times to have his darshan and talk / see him one to one.
I have read the *Autobiography of a yogi* Book many years back and that is how I came to know about Beloved Babaji.
When I was in Bangalore, I met this person Dr Rajgopal Nagraj. He communicates with Babaji directly and he helps people solve any kind of problem through Babaji’s guidance. He is such a pure, kind soul and definitely not into making money only. I have also taken a remedy from him since I was jobless and after a few months of getting his remedy, I got a job at Infosys. All Babaji’s grace and blessings. I also purchased from him a powerful Sarva Mangala Babaji yantra which bestows many benefits and all the cash he gets from the sale goes into noble activities of his non profit org. His ashram is at New Yelahanka town, Bangalore. Dr Rajgopal’s website for those who wish to contact him is http://www.babajisannidhan.com
I just noticed his domain name has expired so website may not open so in that case anyone interested can call him at
09880062706 or
09945200200
Om Satguru Babaji namaha.
Dear Sarika!
In the ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’, a lot of importance was given to Kriya which Master Lahiri Mahasaya started for the benefit of Householders on the spiritual path. Sri Paramhansa Yogananda too has admitted to doing Kriya in the book. So has any exercise, Kriya or pranayam been prescribed by Shri Mahavatar Babaji to tune our physical bodies to become perfect receptacles? Or even any daily regimen which will help us?
Pranams to the ever compassionate and omniscient Babaji and all the Masters who have guided souls to liberation!
Many Thanks to you too!
With love,
Vanita
Dear Vanita, on 26th March night I left for Sri Lanka. Prior to that, a day before in early morning in my meditation, Shri Mahavatarji instructed me to tell three people to go to YSS and take Kriya Deeksha. Kanchana was informed on that same midnight and I left her a message about this divine message. It was a very important message and was delivered instantly.
Recently, she informed me about her doing Kriya everyday and she and her husband have become a regular at YSS meditations. Now that is very encouraging and I appreciate all her efforts and sincerity.I am very happy for her and Bharat.My blessings with her!
The other two people who were told to take Deeksha were you and Sunita Rao. Somehow, this topic got drowned somewhere in my busy days.Today this issue has got the attention by God’s grace and I am very glad that you are reading the blog religiously like a Bible daily and I instantly remembered this message for you from our Babaji this moment after I read your comment here. I was anyway waiting for the right day to tell you that you should join YSS and take Kriya Deeksha. The main centre is in Wadala, so close for you fortunately.The name of the building is Ashirwad and I have this old tel no-24103168. Try to call them and start going for their meditations and later take a deeksha of Kriya when you feel fit and ready.Even before you take Kriya or begin meditations on a regular basis, cleanse your body and lose some weight. You will feel lighter and purer.
Even for Sunita this programme will do good and help her to do the purification of body and mind. I meant Kriya deekshs here. Kanchana is also from Pune and if Sunita is interested she should contact others and get initiated. It is ideal for all seekers to have a direct contact with the Guru and mentor and if Sunita wishes, she can come in contact with me directly; so far she has kept a very low profile on the blog and keeps no contact with me. Help cannot reach her if she does not stay in touch with me through emails, comments on blog and other communication means. This path is very good and fast yet dangerous as we all are prone to fall if we do not follow the safety rules.
Every seeker should make sure that if the path has been chosen by them, they should not waver or neglect their spiritual duties. So stay connected with Shri Mahavatar Babaji, Shri Paramhansa Yoganandji and other line of Gurus through me and this blog. You will see Light guiding your life and chosen path and you will have peace of mind.You will make a speedy recovery and will save a lot of time by not going here and there. You are at the right place now and should spend all your time and energies in one place only.
With love and fondness
Sarika
Dear amma,
I had read this blog post long ago. I am glad you told me to read it again. Anything written on Babaji, not necessarily gyan, but even small insights into His life and mission, gives me a lot of joy.
Some of what you have written here naturally tallies with what Guruji wrote in AOY.
If Babaji’s code of communication is telepathy and intuition only then I have to become much more subtle and calm than I am presently. Remember in AOY Babaji told Shri Yukteshwarji that he had blown him away with his enthusiasm and that he needed to meditate more? If He told Yukteshwarji that, what would He tell someone like me!
Without constant calmness all telepathic messages from Him will get missed, won’t they? The intuition works sometimes but it gets mixed up with intellect/the mind and it’s hard to differentiate between the two. May be more calmness, centeredness will solve this?
Other points in the post that I particularly like:
• It is because of our past life good karmas that he takes charge of our lives and spiritual growth.
• He has divine powers to change the fate and fortune of faithful and devoted disciples and devotees.
• Once the devotee is liberated and free from karmic obligations, He involves him or her in the world wide mission of God’s continuous work of human upliftment.
• Good actions such as brotherhood, unity of all religions, love, compassion, kindness, empathy, mutual co-operation and understanding are dear to God as we are all God’s children.
Reverently,
Mandira
Dear Mandira, I am delighted to hear from you on the blog and expect you to keep in touch with me so that a continous series of Q & A takes place between us.Pick up from where you left.Escalate your speed of learning and rest in between if you wish.
Babaji’s level of Consciousness is extremely high. To communicate with him we have to upgrade our knowledge and raise our own consciousness so that we can communicate with him easily.
Next is the method of communication. Telepathy and intuition is about catching the thought or sankalpa of someone that is intentionally or unintentionally sent and is present in the atmosphere.
To enable oneself to catch this floating thought coming from the mind of a divine entity like Babaji, we will have to first of all calm down our mind completely.They are extremely subtle.
Stilling the mind can be improved and mastered by two methods- doing pure deeds and meditating daily. The more you practise silencing your mind, the faster you will be able to improve the sensitivity of your brain to pick up the slightest arrival of the thoughts in the atmosphere, more so from Babaji if that is what you are aiming at. The mixing of thoughts, the fogginess will disappear with long practice of concentration and meditation. If you are successful in achieving this goal, you can get all your personal instructions and unlimited wisdom and spiritual knowledge directly from him.
Read this article atleast three times-How to increase the level of your Consciousnes?-I and come back to me.
Knowing Babaji is knowing the attributes of God. Perhaps if someone is so centred and so determined, that person can achieve this extra ordinary pursuit in this life time itself. Babaji’s Spirit is Universal Self. If you raise your own consciousness and increase your awareness, you can be a part of Babaji’s missionary work too.It depends on your sankalpa.
Lots of love
Amma
Thank you , Amma.
“Stilling the mind can be improved and mastered by two methods- doing pure deeds and meditating daily.” Important point. Carefully noted.
“Perhaps if someone is so centred and so determined, that person can achieve this extra ordinary pursuit in this life time itself. ” TALL order, but I think it should be attempted at least. May not make it in this life time, but it will all add up one day.
Yes Mandira, every little right effort in terms of right attitude, right action and right thought matters.The rest is in God’s hands so making effort is very important. That is in the hand of the disciple and if tried with pure intentions can yield bountiful results. May God bless you in all your efforts.
Love
Amma
This message for me too…What mandira di said exactly word by words i was thinking the same..This is Babaji’s way of conveying to ones who can’t receive clearly the message directly…Aunty i am trying to fill the interstices of daily works with conscious breathing..it is taking time but am firm i can succeed in clearly observing it as it divides high and low…to put it back on His Consciousness…
“Conscious Breathing is the anchor for mind”
Dear Asim, just saw your comment. Suggest you read ‘How to increase the level of your consciousness-II’ with attention. It is going to give you a lot of further insight.
To still the mind there are two choices or methods-cleaning the breath with Pranayam and meditation and thereby cleaning our spinal chord. Second method-Doing new, unselfish deeds or nishkaam karmas. Do both incessantly, it will yield great results.
What you are doing at the moment is also very beneficial,it will slow down the rate of your breath and give you peace of mind and lingering calmness. The gap or interstices are the magical moments and if caught and held well, will do all the work. At that time, worship God and Guru both and take their blessings…..
With lots of love
Sarika Aunty
“God is worshipped best if worshipped through mankind”
When we find our consciouness expanded through every atom,selfishness disappears automatically…
A great feeling even to seek for…
Thank you aunty…
Yes, Asim I did not know about this hidden fact until Babaji told me about it. Until then I thought serving the Divine Master was the highest attainment, but the highest form of God worshipping is serving the humanity.
Rise higher and higher……
God bless….
Sarika Aunty
Dear Sarika
What an inspirational article and blog. A few months ago, after reading AOY, I started to see Babaji very regularly in my dreams. And he spoke to me on a couple of occasions. ( I have read AOY previously, and for some bizarre reason, had no previous recollection of Babaji!) I really needed to talk to someone about my experiences and had no idea who to speak to. After trawling through the internet,(and no doubt through Babaji’s guidance) I was so pleased to have found your website. Not sure if I am imagining the next bit, and sometimes, I close my eyes and think about him and can feel his presence close by.
Kind regards,
Shireena
Dear Shireena, Shri Mahavatar Babaji has initiated this blog to call many of his devotees who are ready to move ahead. He has answered to so many people’s questions and dilemmas through this blog. It is also a self learning, long distance classroom. So unravel all the mysteries that were shrouded from human eye and get down to relish every word and post that has been delivered since many weeks.
Sensitive people who have been devoted to Babaji earlier and have been worshiping him will feel his presence and energy in their auras because the minds get connected. If you wish to know more, then get down to note down everything from the blog that concerns you and start your self study. Apart from knowing who is Babaji and what he wishes to tell us you will re-discover yourself……..
More later
Sarika
With deep reverence and gratitude for the Divine Radiance of this sublime message, I say Dearest Sarita-ji Thank You from my Eternal Heart <3 <3 <3
THANK YOU dearest God, Shri Babaji, Sarika mom and all the divine masters for helping us all through this sacred blog.
Happy and auspicious Guru Poornima 2014 to everyone here <,3
“How else can I give relief and more comfort to the soul who wants to help itself but does not know how to do so?”….
This line is my fav..:) it reflet everything..
atleast i could imagine the holy master in my mind by reading this
“His built is firm and complexion very fair and he has long, knee length flowing copper colour hair. He wears ochre colour dhoti or a long cloth wrapped around his waist and shoulder and he usually carries a stick or danda with him while walking.
His countenance and body glow brilliantly and the eyes are dark, deep and serene.
”
But, these below lines are too far from me to visulaize,
“His smile is mysterious and enchanting while his speech reminds me of the tinkling of tiny mellifluous bells in the ears, a sheer delight and entrancing melody!”
as always thanks sarika ji for writing, it is really making a strong link in my mind to Guru babaji and to you.
With all love,
Midhun PK
Aum Babaji Aum! He knows how much I needed this today. No words of gratitude can suffice. I feel blessed to be here. Infinite Pranams.
– He loves those who have love and devotion in their heart, who do good and pray for others and are concerned and involved with the welfare of the society.
– Once the devotee is liberated and free from karmic obligations, He involves him or her in the world wide mission of God’s continuous work of human upliftment.
– Good actions such as brotherhood, unity of all religions, love, compassion, kindness, empathy, mutual co-operation and understanding are dear to God. God is worshiped best if worshiped through mankind.
Dear Ma, It feels like i can read again and again each.. an every blog post.. any number of times. And each time i read them.. its like a blessing 🙂
“It is because of our past life good karmas that he takes charge of our lives and spiritual growth. If it is destined that he come in our life as a messenger of God, then he shall”
This explains why each gurudev come into our life and provide necessary guidance for our spiritual upliftment.
each moment are blessed, when someone read & remeber about him, sri babaji…the poem “Grace in solitude” is really good. you are one with all..
Sarika Ji,
The description of Baba ji is so mesmerizing that I have developed a deep devotion and love for Him. I hope some day may be in this or next birth, I will be able to meet Him.
Also, these wordings have given me a new path in my life:
” Higher than the worship of deities is the worship of Guru. Higher still is the worship of mankind.
God is worshiped best if worshiped through mankind. Those who love and worship humanity is loved the most by God himself.”
“He blesses those lavishly who do not consider themselves to be the doer of any action and whose heart and mind are devoid of any pride, vanity or prejudice. Blessed are those who realize one day and know that we all are the children of one God and selfishness, hatred, jealousy, contempt, hostility have no place in our heart. We must forsake all these undesired thoughts and beliefs as they are the doors of hell and untold misery.”
Pranam ma, babaji.. 🌼
Dearest Ma, Pranaams…this is one of my most favorite posts….I keep visiting it so many times. No where In the world can we find such concrete information about His Holiness Shri Mahavatar Babaji who has been so elusive for the general world. You have given us such treasure to withhold!!
Heartfelt gratitude!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
“How else can I give relief and more comfort to the soul who wants to help itself but does not know how to do so?”
You have provided help so many times to so many such souls, Ma!
Thank you very much!!
Dear Sarika ji,
I am so thankful to the universe and the spiritual masters to have found you through your blog.
This is what I truly want to do, this is my purpose, to be used by these divine beings as an instrument. What do we know to do anything worthwhile on our own, anyway?!
This blog post is also extremely humbling. I hope the ego is listening and will think twice before it rears its deceptive head ever again.
But the problem is we keep forgetting. Probably the biggest challenge for the current lot on earth is to ‘remember’ to be awake. We have and are waking up, many of us, but keep getting drowned in ‘sleep-state’ or maya again and again. Like you said, we should pray to the divine masters to hold our hands tight, and can be of service simply by not volunteering to hold theirs! Human nature is too unpredictable.
My dear Aditi, yes forgetting is a problem because we have spent more time in this state of forgetfulness than in a state of remembrance. If you now go back to a state of remembrance and be in that state of pure joy, silence and unalloyed peace, and live in that state for a very long time, you will not forget. It requires a few years of practice to go back to our Spirit Abode. Once we achieve that we must practice this-after we have finished our daily chores or any other task and get connected with our Spirit and immerse in it again. This is remembrance…..you can start now.
You will understand more after a few years, just begin now. Do what I have instructed and you will see the changes in you.
God bless you.
Sarika
Yes, thank you very much…
Dear Sarika Ji,
Hundreds of thousands of seekers have and are benefitting from the timeless wisdom emanating from Sri Mahavatar Babaji. They take solace in his Words, thoughts, and many instances from his life. Yet, we only know of his ‘enlightened’ life.
What is the story of that one particular lifetime of Babaji, when he would have struggled to break free from the temptations of maya? Only with the permission of Babaji, may I dare to Ask you to share with us his story of that lifetime, which was a turning point for him, from an ordinary, deluded man, to a soul that begins to awaken.
With love and respect,
Aditi
Some important points to know and remember dear Aditi.
# Completely breaking free from Maya takes many, many lives.
# We require humongous number of good deeds or punyas to know God after breaking the mind free from Maya hence the long duration of recovery.
# The story of Shri Mahavatar Babaji is like no other’s story. Why he is a Mahavatar and why he is so unique and has earned the most exclusive state or position in the spiritual world is because of this reason-
It takes a minimum, minimum of 100 incarnations to live on Earth and to salvage an individual Soul. When we become a jeevatma from Atma, we are bound to get touched, tainted and affected by Maya or deluding power of God when we (mind) starts entering the attractions/circumstances created by our own desires and ego. Every action will have reaction/s and in this way a new trap is laid and humans get totally trapped. So delusion power plus the karma power of God are overbearing for all of us. These are also the repulsion powers or opposite forces since they repel us to enter and go to God who is inside us.
But sometimes, some rare human beings did not go too far, they decided to revert to their original Brahma state. They did not like the noise, diffusion, or restlessness of their minds. And during that time when Babaji was born some thousands of years ago, there were hardly any people, nature was abundant and men few on Earth. He was always remaining in his Spirit state. Very soon, he did a sankalpa or decision not to go towards Maya and did actions which were pro or conducive for deep God realizations as soon as he became Jeevatma because he loved peace, silence and Joy of God. He never wanted to leave them. Even now he hardly speaks and is in God state for more years than he was ever in Maya state!
It takes minimum 100 lives or 1,000,00 (1 lakh) years to do this whole process of reverting. We only have a handful of such people who were successful in this time frame, maybe 4 or 5 who went back to God in less than 100 lives. These Shining Stars or Nitya Jyots took may be, only 86 incarnations, 92 incarnations and so on. But the rarest of rare title, the crown of exceptional attainments is on Shri Mahavatar Babaji. He took just 76 lives to return or homecoming to complete original or Brahma state of existence! Hence he has earned the title of Mahavatar and no one can ever take it from him. No one has taken lesser time than him.
Hence, hundreds of thousands of people all over the globe, inanimate and animate beings, plants, animals and all living beings are blessed to have a Divine Being such as Shri Mahavatar Babaji on Earth today. He is immortal and will always be so.
And now back to others, the rest of us-
If we attempt today in Kaliyug, we are going to benefit much faster unlike the ancient Masters whose getting salvation was much harder than us because of non-availability of resources, we can achieve extremely fast today in twentieth century. Consequently, we must now take our life seriously, go by the advice of our Gurus and we must make our lives more congenial, harmonious and divine with the help of those teachings and guidelines. A new path has been made by which we all are getting free, unlimited knowledge of liberation and spiritual wisdom to free ourselves from this blog.
The rest is for all of us to realize and decide.
May God bless you dear Aditi and others who will read this sacred knowledge, may God remove all your obstructing thoughts and desires and may you return Home as soon as you can make it….
With love and peace to you all,
Sarika
Thank you very much.
Yes, we are truly fortunate to have a divine being like Mahavatar Babaji on Earth today and for the fact that achieving salvation in Kalyug is actually faster than ever before.
I hope that I’m able to make efficient use of the resources I have access to and also responsibly use the time you are investing in all of us Sarika ji.
I am humbled by your devotion to god and dedication to your students. Please do not lose your grip on us, ever.
I seek your blessings,
Aditi
