Mahavatar Babaji

Have you read Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramahansa Yogananda? In the cave where Mahavatar Babaji imparted Kriya Yoga to his pupil Lahiri Mahasaya in 1861, you can meditate. Babaji, who is supposed to have maintained his physical appearance for many centuries, is still present in the area. The Yogoda Satsanga Society, which was founded by Paramahansa Yogananda and has an ashram in the region, is in charge of the cave. It is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day. In addition, Dunagiri Retreat has a beautiful view of the cave and is a relaxing location to stay. The cave can be reached by hiking through the forest.

Mahavatar Babaji Cave is one of the most spiritual caves in the Himalayan region, and it is where Yoga Guru Lahiri Mahasaya received direct Kriya Yoga teachings from Mahaavatar Baba Ji. Every day, a large number of pilgrims and Kriya Yogis from various gurus visit the cave. Devotees are advised to read Chapter 34 of the Autobiography of a Yogi, "Materialising a Palace in the Himalayas," and "A Blessing from Mahavatar Babaji" from Sri Sri Daya Mata's Only Love to gain a better understanding of the cave's historical significance. Mahavtar Babaji's Cave is the birthplace of Kriya Yoga in this Dwapara Yuga, as it is where Babaji started Lahiri Mahasaya in 1861. The ancestry of all Kriyabans in the world may be traced back to this incident. (The 150th Anniversary of Kriya Yoga is in 2011)
