Identity

This debate is absurd. The whole point is to realize that Babaji is God and EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is God. EVERYONE IS BABAJI. When all of these different saints are saying they are Babaji, there is no contradiction. If they all were together in one room, they would not argue, "I am Babaji" - "No, I am!" It would go "I am Babaji," - "Yes, I am too." NamasteYonderboy 19:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

That is very true! In the deepest sense, there is no contradictions whatsoever! --Siva1979 09:32, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

iUniverse sources

I'm not sure when these sources were introduced, but iUniverse books are self-published. The listed author, "Yoga Nikitan", does not appear to be a recognized published authority. These sources are not reliable and need to be removed. Any comments or feedback before I do so? Yworo (talk) 01:16, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Mahavatar Babaji Nagraj

With the most uptodate authentic first hand experience reveleations about this great Yogi by living yogi Sri M in his autobiography " Apprenticed to Himalayan Master-Autobiograhy of a Yogi".There are atleast 3 occassions Sri M had direct experience with Babaji narrated in his book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kgm.amogh (talk • contribs) 06:56, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

A note on age and dates

"In his book The Second Coming of Christ, Yogananda states that Jesus Christ went to India and conferred with Mahavatar Babaji. This would make Babaji at least 2000 years old."

Just a note - Ahmadi Muslims among others believe Jesus lived to one hundred and twenty years. While this is still at odds with the given birth date of 203 CE, it does mean the quoted sentence above should read "almost" 2000 years old rather than "at least" 2000 years old.

"Cave" section needs a bit of love and care

Hi, I'm new to editing Misplaced Pages. I noticed that the "cave" section of this article requires a lot of editing to make it appropriate for Misplaced Pages community standards. I hope someone can help with the tone and sourcing of that section. Let me know if I didn't flag it right--just learning based on documentation. Thanks!--Annika Skunkhaus (talk) 03:41, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
