in studying the work of sri yukteswar and paramhansa yogananda i find repeated mentions of a mystic named babaji, a mastrful yogi. and i was curious if anyone was aware of any other mentions of him in other vedic or eastern text.

You mean the invisible babaji that no one has seen him for the last 10,000 years? :D

that is the same one i believe, but according to my research he had direct contact with lahiri mahasaya in the mid 1800's and then contact with paramhansa yogananda in the early 1900's.
 
Actually around 1968, I met an engineer from Geological survey of India who told us that the survey team met with a babaji in the remote part of central India who could speak French, German and many other languages fluently with very little accent (I have posted this in this forum somewhere). There was a French speaking German in the team that talked to the Baba. The Baba claimed he talked to Napoleon and I think another name in 1400 AD (I can not remember)....

Life is full of mysteries...
 
Maybe he resurfaces every 12 years in the Kumb mela...very incognito ofcourse.

Babaji's Guru !

Babaji's Guru could be contacted if you are deterministic ! He is believed to be wandering in one remote jungle of Tamil Nadu, India.

Like we hunt animals in their feeding places, if you after these holy men, hunt them in their own jungle !!!

:m: :D :m:

The babaji is supposed to be a wandering mystic who's immortal. He was the subject of a movie as well, which released last year. It's most likely pure fiction.

Not a hindi movie sarge, it's a tamil movie by this moron called Rajnikanth. You really do not want to see it. If you're still interested, the name of the movie is....'Baba'.

I couldn't agree more with you, km. :D

Yes very much ! Babji's name is mentioned in many eastern Vedic books as one of the great saints who got initiated in the "Nada Parampara" (sect of people who practice the tune) and believed to be initiated by a Tamil Saint at Kutralam (a place in Tamil Nadu, India) and supposed to have achieved very high stages of Pranayama. The founder of Nada parampara is actually a heavenly saint who is supposed to be immortal.

Oh yes i have heard of that. Wait that's what it was about. I don't see Rajnikanth as a mystic baba....unless babaji was a mytical action hero in his spare time.

Nono sarge. Rajnikanth isn't the baba. The baba talks to rajnikanth and blesses him with extraordinairy powers and shit. See the movie if you want a laugh :)
 
I was listening to the radio the other day, for those of you in Australia it was Doctor Karl on JJJ, a walking encyclopedia, he was saying that nobody realy knows why we die of old age, but that our cells are programed to grow old, and theoreticaly if we could reprogram ourselves in such a way, there is no reason why we couldn't maintain the body of a twenty year old for as long as we could support it, so at least as long as we can exist on this planet.
It's of course been noted that Yogis can do extrodinary things to their bodies, one guy has been recorded to create a 16 degree teperature difference between two places on the palm of his hand, and I'm sure there have been cases of much more extrodinary things that this, though this one was well documented.
-----For instance the same Yogi told a story of how his Master in old age, left his own body on the banks of the Ganga and took the dead body of a recently dead young man floating down the river.------
If this kind of control could be pushed to it's upmost, I mean REALY pushed, like the imagination (and gulability:eek: perhaps) of some of you will have to be, then it could be quite possible for a person to control the programing of there own cells.
This is not considering the possibility of the light body, many storys have been told about this, like the one from the biography of Milarepa when He came to make multipul copies of Himself and stand them in a cirlce around somebody (I think?) but the truth is at this stage He didn't realy even have one physical form, He was in complete control over Himslef in all repects, He could have appeared as a cat or a mouse if it would have served His perpose, or simply vanished all together, this could probably be said closest to His acctual 'bodily' form. Also Jesus is of a similar..... state perhaps, He obviously has never died, that is if you beleive He has appeared to His Disciples in whatever times they've lived, like St. Francis I think in the 11th. century and Ramakrishna in the 1800's, It's just that He hasn't kept this form constantly on earth sense His "death" though quite possibly could.
But to acctualy answer the queastion there is an essay about Babaji at http://www.alchemywebsite.com/ though I cannot find it now, I hope it's still there. There have also been a number of people that have clamed to have had Babaji's Darshan, one I have more faith in than the others, Swami Sivananda Radha, a Disciple of Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati Maharaj.
 
I saw the babaji wandering in my backyard, my dogs were ready to pounce on him. Poor fellow he ran I could not catch him. Now I hear he goes walking with George Bush.
 
Bend it like Beckham

Funny!

I was just talking about Babaji with my Indian friends. I saw Bend it like Beckham today and wondered who Babaji is. The Indians made fun of him. So i take he is not a holy and important person?

Is it true that they hover in the air when they pray? I have not only heard that but seen it on Ripleys, the TV show :) where they documented a group of gurus/yogis (are the same?) hovering a foot or two above the ground while they were praying. That's amazing!!

Also Jesus is of a similar..... state perhaps, He obviously has never died, that is if you beleive He has appeared to His Disciples in whatever times they've lived, like St. Francis I think in the 11th. century and Ramakrishna in the 1800's,
What's this, Jesus appearing to Ramakrishna in the 1800's?? Can anyone tell me the story.
 
I dont know about Jesus appearing before Ramakrishna, but I do know that Ramakrishna practised different religions - Islam, Christianity, Sikhism and Hinduism, and he found that they all lead to the same god.

I haven't seen anything of this sort. The belief of yogis hovering and being able to fly is most probably a myth. Yoga, can however enable a person to perform amazing feats with his body. A yogi well versed in yoga, could for example consume only butter and cream and grow thinner, not fatter.
