Haidakhan Babaji

Haidakhan Babaji , also Haidakhan Shivani († February 14, 1984 ) was a yogi who - like Mahavatar Babaji before him - was called Babaji ("revered father"). It is said to have been announced by a traveling master named Mahendra Baba and appeared in 1970 as a meditating young man in Haidakhan, northern India . His disciples see him as the incarnation of Mahavatar Babaji and the embodiment of Shiva .

Haidakhan Babaji's teachings included the unintentional meditation with the mantra "Namah śivāy" ( " " is usually as "om" or "Auṃ" transliterated ; the mantra in the original Sanskrit : नमः शिवाय्) - in English and German books about Babaji Internationally simplified as "Om Namah Shivay" (" Om , glory be to Shiva") - to calm the mind and the experience of divine reality as well as karma yoga . Simplicity, truth and love were the three cornerstones of his teaching. He spoke little and mainly taught through his way of dealing with people, more practical than theoretical.

Babaji, who was also called Bhole Baba (“simple father”) or Mahaprabhuji (“honored great lord”), rarely gave speeches to his students and visitors who came from all over the world. He referred to the Mahakranti (great destruction, revolution) and the coming times of great transformation. In 1984 he died unexpectedly.

Haidakhan Babaji's story is in the diary of his disciple Gora Devi (née Valeria Bonazzola), The Adventure of a Transformation. 12 years with Babaji . In addition to his teaching, Haidakhan Babaji left numerous ashrams in many countries, including the ashram in Haidakhan, where he stayed most of the time. He appointed Muniraji († August 4, 2012) as his successor, who should take care of his students .
