Babaji Teaching Me Chanting
Shared by Peter

My first experience with Babaji. I found myself in a void/dimension isolated with just Babaji and me.  Since reading the "Autobiography of a Yogi" I have been very interested and intensely motivated to talk and communicate with Paramhansa Yogananda and MahaAvatar Babaji.  One day while youtubing Paramahansa Yogananda, I found a video where Paramahansa Yogananda was teaching people how to properly sleep.  In this video, he also explained how he would go into SuperConsciousness utilizing the sleep process.  I practiced this technique everyday I could.

Eventually, after many years of practicing the sleep technique taught in the Youtube video by Paramahansa Yogananda, I found myself communicating with many masters that I hold deeply in my heart. I found myself during the sleep technique to have reached and received the loving and compassionate energy field of my Christian Lord Jesus Christ as I was calling months and months for him to answer my prayers.  Later days, I found myself utilizing the same technique to get the blessings of my beloved living guru, Paramahansa Nithyananda, oh such a blissful, joyful energy field he was radiating to me on that day. And last but not least, I had finally reached Babaji with the sleep technique. Babaji showed two faces and bodies to me but it was within one body. Its like seeing two faces and bodies of Babaji in one Babaji body. That's at least how I remembered seeing him.  One body and face of Babaji, was exactly like the picture drawn of him in the "Autobiography of a Yogi".  The other body and face of Babaji that was also radiating at the exact time and exact space/spot was exactly like the young Haidakhan Babaji picture that Marge D. had sent me. Babaji was radiating an all knowing/all wisdom energy field to me.

Babaji's message to me. While I was with Babaji in that void/dimension, he was teaching me how to chant and/or that I should learn chanting. I did not catch the Sanskrit chant/words he was giving me. I was very nervous due to the excitement of being in his presence and because I wasn't able/strong enough to hold the vibrations together to be in that dimension very well. I eventually got frustrated because I could not understand/catch onto the Sanskrit meaning and chant well. And so, I believe and felt that due to this frustration I lost hold of the vibration to keep me in the void/dimension with Babaji.

I have been chanting Om Namah Shivaya for some time now but I know that this was not the chant he was teaching me that day/night.  I couldn't really figure out what chant he was teaching me until lately that is why I am back visiting this site. I have now realized just today that the Sanskrit words were more in tune with puja chanting, something that I have been energetically (in a loving way) pulled towards but have been slacking on practicing. Because of this experience with meeting my Lord of Kriya Yoga, I have gained an energetic boost to pick up the puja book and start practicing.

Thank you Babaji for visiting me when I called out your name, thank you for guiding me to Christianity, thank you for guiding me to the Vedic tradition, and thank you for guiding me to my Swamiji.

Om Namah Shivaya

My First Babaji Experience
Shared by Francisco

Hello everybody, I would like to share my first experience with the energy of our beloved Mahavatar Babaji.

I am fresh so to say, in this path of search for the light within. For a couple of months I've been reconnecting to the self that I forgot for many years,  due to bad life experiences for many years ive lived in the delusion,  focused on the wrong things and searching for happiness in wrong places, like drugs bad habits and even often guided by negativity.

Since my beautiful son was born that I've started connecting again with my true self, guided by this great unconditional love I've came across the teachings of Yogananda through Swami Kryananda for whom I have great love and devotion.

After a couple of months I came across a video which talked about this amazing light called Babaji. Straight away I went to read on the internet and decided to meditate on him.

Now what happened after is extremely simple to describe yet the presence I felt I cannot describe in words ... for ten minutes my eyes cried and cried, yet my feeling inside was of great joy and some how I felt like I was fulfilled.

That energy I felt made me wanna feel every second of my physical life like this.

So this has brought me to this website,

I hope that this can be another tool to help me following the path, to learn, to share, to get guidance etc.

This instant love that I felt for Babaji is probably the best thing that could happen to me and I'm truly gratefull and hunger to learn more so I can also help other people to find this path of joy love simplicity an truth.

OM NAMAH SHIVAYA
BLESSINGS TO ALL

On my very first trip to Haidakhan (in 1991) I was staying in the hotel in Haldwani where most of the devotees used to stay. In the evening while in my room I suddenly realized that still I really didn't know how to proceed to Haidakhan the next day, although I had already paid the usual visit to Sri Muniraji's place in the afternoon. I didn't have to wait long, there was a knock on my door and in front of me stood a German devotee from Munich,  Peter, who said he just came to tell me the exact way to Haidakhan, mentioning the time when the bus to Dam Site would go in the morning and from which place in Haldwani.  He then said: "I'll now go to visit the doctor!" Having heard this there was a bell ringing in my head and I was about to say: "Can I come with you?" but didn't dare to ask, so he went and next morning I went to the bus stop.  Again after a few minutes a tall man stood in front of me saying: "Don't worry the bus will come within a few minutes!" Then he said: "Peter has told me about you - I'm the doctor of Haidakhan hospital!" So Narayan Singh and I went on the same bus and although he later proceeded much quicker than me on foot to the ashram, he made sure I would have a porter taking me the right way there.

On another occasion (1996), while camping on Montezuma beach/Costa Rica where I least expected it I saw a sign "Om Namah Shivay" in Hindi among the bushes of the second part of the beach. It turned out there was a Babaji devotee living there in a makeshift home, inviting me for a coffee  (which I had just been craving for since the beach was otherwise empty) after I had  greeted him with "Om namah Shivay" and telling me he had had a fire ceremony the night before with an Italian guy whom he described and who I could later meet.

Babaji is everywhere whenever you need him !
Bhole Baba ki Jai!!!

Fifth Day of Navaratri - 19 Oct 2012
Submitted by Kalika

During meditation while listening to the Lalitha Ashtotram (by Craig Pruess and Ananda), I became aware that I was in the Presence of the Divine Mother, She was, in fact, in front of me. Then, I realized that in front of me were MahaKali, MahaLaxsmi, and MahaSaraswati. Almost immediately, I could see that we were sitting on a gold floor and we were surrounded by large columns that were encrusted with precious gem stones. I noticed at first, that there were more Divine Mothers present, and they were sitting in front of me in a half-moon. Then, I became aware that I was actually surrounded by Divine Mothers ~ in truth, 108 manifestations of the Divine Mother. They were in a circle and I was in the middle of them. Outside of Their circle was a ring of Violet Fire. I was connected to each of them, Heart-to-Heart, by a golden beam of Light. As I looked up, I could see that the Place we were in was very much like a Mosque, except that it seemed to have no ceiling to it. The columns went up as far as one could imagine, and coming down from above was a bright White Light that entered through the top of my head, went down my spine, and out my root chakra. As I looked below me, I could see the White Light extend from my root chakra down to the Earth, surrounding Her in a beautiful Light grid. At this point, I noticed that I was wearing clothes made of emerald green silk with gold stitching. My blonde hair was very long, and there was a piece of gold jewelry around my forehead with a sort of diamond shaped gold medallion resting on my forehead. There were gold band rings on each of my toes, and rings on my fingers – not on my thumbs. The rings on my fingers starting from my pinky fingers were gold bands with a large ruby, the ring fingers had gold bands with a large emerald, the middle fingers had a gold band with a large sapphire, and the pointer fingers had gold bands with large diamonds. The size of the stones increased from the smallest being the rubies to the largest being the diamonds. I found that I was now sitting in the middle of a large Lotus. The Lotus was turning counter-clockwise so that I could see each of the Divine Mothers, and as I turned, my connection to each of them through the gold beam of Light remained intact. Then, I saw that the White Light from above was now streaming down through each of the Divine Mothers, just as it was still doing through me, and the Light that was going through Their Root Chakras was also enveloping the Earth. Next, all of the Divine Mothers were now also sitting in the middle of a large Lotus. As I continued to turn counter-clockwise, They were all turning clockwise. When this began, white and pink rose petals began to “rain” down on us. Suddenly, I was aware that Sai Baba and Babaji were present. As I noticed them, I realized that actually Shirdi Sai Baba, Sathya Sai Baba, Prema Sai Baba, Babaji and Muktananda were all present. They each had long black hair down to Their waists and Their hair was all in dreadlocks. The ring of Violet Flame that had been around all 108 Divine Mothers now enclosed around me and engulfed me. As the Violet Flame was “burning” me, all my Babas were dancing around me in the same clockwise manner as the Divine Mothers were still turning on Their Lotuses. In my Heart center, was a large ruby with a flame inside of it. As the Violet Flame became more and more intense, the ruby became brighter and brighter in color, and the flame inside of the ruby became brighter and brighter. I stood up inside the Violet Flame and began to dance. Now, all of the 108 Divine Mothers began dancing too, and all of my Babas were still dancing around me. Suddenly, because of the intensity of the flame within the ruby, the ruby shattered into pieces. As the shattered pieces flew out, a piece of the ruby was embedded into the Heart of all my Babas and all of the 108 Divine Mothers. Then, the flame that had been within the ruby turned into the Sun. My Heart Chakra was now the Sun. The Sun expanded, larger and larger, engulfing all of my Babas and all of the 108 Divine Mothers. We were all within the expansive Sun together, One with it and each other, and still separate in consciousness. At this point my body began to expand. It expanded so large that it engulfed the Sun, which remained in my Heart Chakra, and all of my Babas and all of the 108 Divine Mothers were dancing within my body. White light was pouring out from the tips of my fingers and toes. My eyes were now the Fire. Within me, I could feel growing from the base of my spine (actually in the yoni area) a LARGE Shivalingam. As the Shivalingam grew up inside of me, it consumed every space inside of me, and I even felt a little like my throat was “choking.” Instantaneously, my outer body dissolved into ash and fell to the base of the Shivalingam. The Shivalingam was now glowing like a hot ember. Then, out of the pile of ash that lay at the bottom of the glowing Shivalingam, my body began to emerge again. As my body emerged from the ash, it was once again enveloping the Shivalingam so that it was inside of my body. I realized that my body was now very different. I no longer had white skin. My skin was pitch black. My hair was no longer blonde. It was now also pitch black and it was in dreadlocks down to my waist. My eyes were no longer Fire. They were a deep blue almost black color. At this point, I came out of the meditation and my body slumped over. It was very very weak, and I could not will it to move. I laid there in a daze as I listened to the end of the Lalitha Ashtotram. When the Lalitha Ashtotram completed, it took a bit more time before I had the strength to sit up. After I was able to sit up, I still felt very weak and the top of my head was vibrating. As soon as I was able, I sat down to recall my experience and document it.

Did this really happen to me? Is this a true experience or is my mind in delusion? I feel it must be true because I feel no separation and I only have the desire to hear “Om Namah Shivaya.” It must be true. How else can I explain the experience of my physical body?

I am reminded that when my niece began to speak, her first word, before Mama or Dada, was Kika. My sister and I thought she was trying to say my son’s name, Caleb. One day when my son and I were visiting my sister, my niece was crying out, “Kika, Kika, Kika.” We thought she was trying to get my son’s attention. I turned to him and said, “Caleb, would you please answer her.” My niece then responded, “Not Caleb. Eileen!!!” That was the moment my sister and I realized that all this time my niece had been asking for ME. Ever since then, for the past 18 years, I have been known as Kika in my family, and all children call me Kika. I knew in the moment that my niece revealed that she was asking for me, that this name “Kika” was a name she had brought in from Spirit. The name always felt incomplete to me, as if it was “baby-talk” for another name. Now, I am feeling very aligned with the Spiritual name Kalika. After what I have experienced today, I believe that is the name that my niece was trying to say, and how auspicious that it was her first word. Also, how interesting that 18 years later, I should have this experience.
