Romola Butalia writes about the legendary Master, simply known as Babaji, acknowledged through centuries of time. The legendary Babaji is known by different names in many places through centuries of time, in what appears to be a seemingly unsolvable mystery.

He has been associated with the historical figure, Haidakhandi Babaji or Hairakhan Baba, about whom there are many references and cited meetings during the late 19th century and early 20th century. Some people refer to him as Mahavatar Babaji, from Lahiri Mahashaya's meeting in 1861, made popular by Paramhamsa Yogananda-ji's book, Autobiography of a Yogi. Others have mentioned the legendary Kripacharya, or the Chiranjeevi Ashwatthama from the days of the Mahabharata, when referring to him. He is also known as Kriya Babaji. As a perfect siddha, he has been associated with

Babaji, the immortal master of the Himalayas written about in Autobiography of a Yogi. About 5,000 years old, ever youthful, he is a great server of humanity.

Babaji has every power: he travels by thought, and manifests anything needed from the air. He has promised to always stay in his physical body Guru Gorakhnath, also known as Shiva Goraksha.
