MAHA AVATAR BABAJI
'MAHA AVATAR BABAJI" was known to most of the persons in the world only after the cinema of 'BABA' which was taken by rajinikanth. Mahavatar Babaji is the name given by Lahiri Mahasaya and several of his disciples who met Mahavatar Babaji between 1861 and 1935. Some of these meetings were described by Paramahansa Yogananda in his book Autobiography of a Yogi, including a first hand telling of Yogananda’s own meeting with Mahavatar Babaji. Another first hand account was given by Sri Yukteswar Giri in his book The Holy Science. All of these accounts, along with additional meetings with Mahavatar Babaji, are described in various biographies of those mentioned by Yogananda.
Mahavatar Babaji’s real name and date of birth are not sure, those who met him during that period all called him by the title first given to him by Lahiri Mahasaya. ‘Mahavatar’ means ‘great avatar’, and ‘Babaji’ simply means ‘revered father’. Some of the encounters included two or more witnesses — discussions between those who met Mahavatar Babaji indicate that they all met the same person.
A Version of His Early Life
Babaji was believed to be born on the 30th day of November 203 A.D., in a small coastal village now known as Parangipettai, in Tamil Nadu, India, near where the Cauvery River flows into the Indian Ocean. He was given the name "Nagaraj," which means "serpent king," referring to "kundalini," our great divine potential power and consciousness. His birth coincided with the ascendancy (Nakshatra) of the star of Rohini, under which Krishna was also born. The birth took place during the celebration of Kartikai Deepam, the Festival of Lights, the night before the new moon during the Tamil month of Kartikai.
At the age of 5, he was kidnapped by a trader and taken as a slave to the area of today's Calcutta. A rich merchant purchased him, only to give him his freedom. He joined a small band of wandering monks, and with them became learned in the sacred religious and philosophical literature of India. However, he was not satisfied. Hearing of the existence of a great siddha, or perfected master, named Agastyar, in the south, he made a pilgrimage to the sacred temple of Katirgama, near the southern most tip of Ceylon, the large island just south of peninsular India. There he met a disciple of Agastyar, whose name was Boganathar. He studied "dhyana," or meditation, intensively and "Siddhantham," the philosophy of the Siddhas, with Boganathar for four years. He experienced "sarvihelpa samadhi," or cognitive absorption, and had the vision of Lord Muruga, the deity of the Katirgama temple.
At the age of 15, Boganathar sent him to his own guru, the legendary Agastyar, who was know to be living near to Courtrallam, in Tamil Nadu. After performing intensive yogic practices at Courtrallam for 48 days, Agastyar revealed himself, and initiated him into Kriya Kundalini Pranayama, a powerful breathing technique. He directed the boy to go to Badrinath, high in the Himalayas, and to practice all that he had learned, intensively, to become a "siddha." Over the next 18 months, Babji lived alone in a cave practicing the yogic techniques which Boganathar and Agastyar has taught him. In so doing, he surrendered his ego, all the way down to the level of the cells in his body, to the Divine, which descended into him. He became a siddha, one who has surrendered to the power and consciousness of the Divine! His body was no longer subject to the ravages of disease and death. Transformed, as a Mah or great siddha, he dedicated himself to the uplift-ment of suffering humanity.
Babaji's Longevity
Since that time, over the centuries, Babaji has continued to guide and inspire some of history`s greatest saints and many spiritual teachers, in the fulfillment of their mission. These include Adi Shankaracharya, the great 9th century A.D. reformer of Hinduism, and Kabir, the 15th century saint beloved by both the Hindus and Muslims. Both are said to have been personally initiated by Babaji, and refer to him in their writings. He has maintained the remarkable appearance of a youth of about 16 years of age. During the 19th century Madame Blavatsky, the founder of the Theosophical Society, identified him as the Matreiya, the living Buddha, or World Teacher for the coming era, described in C.W. Leadbetter's "Masters and the Path."
Although Babaji prefers to remain obscure and invisible to others, he does on occasion gradually reveals himself to his devotees and disciples, capturing their hearts in various types of personal devotional relationships in which he guides them in their development.lahiri mahasaya wrote in his dairy that mahaavatar babaji was lordkrishna in his past life incarnation.

SHYAM CHARAN LAHIRI
Lahiri was born into a Brahmin family in the of Bengal. He was the youngest son of Muktakashi, wife of Gaur Mohan Lahiri. His mother died when he was a child — there is very little known about her, except that she was a devotee of Lord Shiva. At the age of three or four, he was often seen sitting in meditation, with his body buried in the sand up to his neck. When Lahiri was five, the family's ancestral home was lost in a flood, so the family moved to varnasi where he would spend most of his life.As a child, he studied Urdu and Hindi, gradually moving on to Bengali, Sanskrit, Persian, French and English at the Government Sanskrit College, along with study of the Vedas. Reciting the Vedas, bathing in the Ganges, and worship were part of his daily routine.
In 1846, he was married to Srimati Kashi Moni. They had two sons, Tincouri and Ducouri, and two daughters. His work as an accountant in the Military Engineering Department of the English government took him all over India. After the death of his father, he took on the role of supporting the entire family in Varanasiglish calendar, it was from September, 1828, through October, 1895. He chose specially the exceedingly holy hour of Mahasandhiskan, the great union period to leave the body. This is how the original Kriya practitioners in India select Lahiri Mahasay's birthdate and the date of his leaving the body. In his diary, an entry was found which started: "Birthdate not exactly known." In accordance with the family tradition, the long parchment document of his thikuji, the birthdate and life's chart, was destroyed after his leaving the body. As a result, it was difficult to ascertain his birthdate. However, his only bachelor grandson out of eight grandsons, Ananda Mohan Lahiri, after making a thorough research of family documents came to the conclusion that his grandfather's birthdate fell on the seventh day of Apar paksa, the Other Fortnight, or the Pitri Paksa, the Paternal Fortnight of the lunar circle of 1221 Bangabda (Bengali Year). Since then, the Original Kriya practitioners have accepted that day and observed his birthdate accordingly. The date of his leaving the body was certain: the 8th day of Matri paksa, called Mahastami or Birastami day. It may be mentioned here that some people observed his birthdate according to the English calendar of that year 1828 which fell on September 28 on that particular year. But according to the Vedic Sanskrit calendar, as stated above, the Pitri paksa, Paternal Fortnight, and Matri Paksa, Maternal Fortnight, vary in time. As a result, Lahiri Mahasay's birthdate and the date of his leaving the body into Mahasamadhi also vary.
Then there is the thirteen and a half hours time difference with India, which is ahead of the United States time. In case any Kriyanwit (male) / Kriyanwita (female), practitioner of Kriya should want to observe these in accordance with the time of India, he/she must adjust the time. Lahiri Mahasay's Divine Gurudev, Mahamuni Babaji, remains enigmatic. No information of his birthdate is possible to ascertain. He does not give out any picture of himself. There is no picture of him at all, although some devotee imagines to have his picture or photo. There is no bar for a devotional person imagining that; however, one must understand that imagination is subjective and is not real in the objective sense and is not for others. According to information available to Swami Satyeswarananda Giri Babaji Maharaj obtained while he was living with Mahamuni Babaji at Dunagiri Hill, Himalayas, at the request of Lahiri Mahasay, Mahamuni Babaji Maharaj permitted Lahiri Mahasay to give his photo to his disciple, Gangadhar Babu; that is why we have Lahiri Mahasay's photo.
