Brief Introduction
Mahavatar Babaji is an ancient yogi from the Himalayas who is said to have an eternal body. His story has been made known, thanks to the book “Autobiography of a Yogi” written by Paramhansa Yogananda.
Babaji is an avatar (divine incarnation) who has revived the science of Kriya Yoga(an advanced pranayama technique that accelerates spiritual evolution) in this age of energy.
Kriya Yoga is the most effective technique for reaching the goal of Yoga: Self-Realization. Self-Realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come to you; that God’s omnipresence is your omnipresence; and that all you need to do is improve your knowing.
