Babaji's mission in India has been to assist prophets in carrying
out their special dispensations. He thus qualifies for the scriptural
classification of MAHAVATAR (Great Avatar). He has stated that
he gave yoga initiation to Shankara, ancient founder of the Swami
Order, and to Kabir, famous medieval saint. His chief nineteenth-century
disciple was, as we know, Lahiri Mahasaya, revivalist of the lost
KRIYA art.

of modern India.--see babaji.jpg]
The MAHAVATAR is in constant communion with Christ; together they
send out vibrations of redemption, and have planned the spiritual
technique of salvation for this age. The work of these two
fully-illumined masters-one with the body, and one without it-is
to inspire the nations to forsake suicidal wars, race hatreds,
religious sectarianism, and the boomerang-evils of materialism.
Babaji is well aware of the trend of modern times, especially of
the influence and complexities of Western civilization, and realizes
the necessity of spreading the self-liberations of yoga equally in
the West and in the East.
That there is no historical reference to Babaji need not surprise
us. The great guru has never openly appeared in any century; the
misinterpreting glare of publicity has no place in his millennial
plans. Like the Creator, the sole but silent Power, Babaji works
in a humble obscurity.
