Mahavatar Babaji Maharaj and Mataji

Babaji is an immortal avatar who was born on the eastern coast of India in 203 AD as the boy Nagaraj. The story goes that he was kidnapped by pirates as a child and sold into slavery. His owner recognized special gifts in the boy and released him to wander and study.

He was initiated in Kundalini Yoga by the greatest teacher of that time. While still in his teens, he achieved immortality through the practice of Siddha Yoga and Siddha medicine. Babaji added his enhancements to Kundalini Yoga, renaming it Kriya, and gave us the powerful Cosmic Cobra Breath, his most precious gift to humanity.

"Babaji" is a title, meaning "honored father" a title used by many spiritual leaders. The immortal Babaji Nagaraj is unique, not to be confused with others.

An avatar is a perfect manifestation of Divinity in human form. Avatars live in continual full consciousness of their Divine nature, an example of what is possible for humankind

Babaji is called the MoolaGuru ~ expert of Mooladhara, the root chakra and seat of Kundalini. He has taken responsibility for the yogic education of the souls incarnated on Earth. He encourages and supports anyone who wishes to become a Babaji. His presence brings a sense of great comfort, that all is well and that you are protected and appreciated. It is the energy of pure unconditional love.

To attune yourself to Babaji you can do so through the Kriya practices, gazing at the yantra that represents his energy, meditating on his image or by repeating the mantra that invites that energy into your being: "Om Kriya Babaji Namah Aum."

Babaji lives in an ashram high in the Himalayas, said to be a shangri-la with meadows, waterfalls and perfect climate. He lives with his beautiful consort Mataji, who has also attained immortality. She is referred to in most Kriya systems as his sister but, acknowledging Babaji as a ta***ic master, we recognize her as his partner.

Mataji, spiritual companion of Babaji, is a mysterious figure about which little is known, other than the entries in "Autobiography of a Yogi" or "Voice of Babaji."

In India it is common for saints (even the gods) appear in a masculine way and his female counterpart. The male aspect is like Shiva, the principle of consciousness, and the female is Shakti, energy manifestation of that principle. As with Shiva and Shakti, the male principle worships the feminine principle of energy, and the feminine principle worships the male principle of consciousness.

Mataji is said to have the same spiritual development Babaji, but has chosen to follow the role of disciple, serving Babaji, his teacher. Thus, she is the embodiment of the perfect disciple. It is said to be harder to find a good disciple a good teacher. In the second initiation one can receive the mantra of Mataji and develop a personal relationship with her can become guru student.

A famous story explains how Babaji Mataji got retained his physical body for the benefit of all devotees. This fact is told in "Autobiography of a Yogi" and "The Voice of Babaji"

"At midnight, suddenly, Lahiri Mahasaya ordered the hermit Ram Gopal Mazumdar who was alone and immediately, the ghat Dasasamedh in Varanasi. The order was carried out promptly. Ram Gopal sat in that isolated place and after time was astonished to see that a huge stone slab opened, revealing a hidden cave, which came Mataji, the sister of Babaji ecstatic, through a yogic levitation process. Soon after, Lahiri Mahasaya and Kriya Paramgurú materialized. All three fell at the feet of Babaji.

Babaji: "I shed my form and plunge into the Infinite."

Mataji, "Master, (pleadingly) have glimpsed your plan why you have to leave your body.?".

Babaji: "There is no difference between being visible or invisible".

Mataji: "Guru Deva, if there is no difference, please do not despise your way."

AUM! The beloved Master consented to retain his physical body, which would be visible only to a chosen few. Thus, a crisis of first degree Kriya movement was averted by the intervention of the holy sister. Jai Mataji! "

Mataji, the personification of compassion, got so Babaji bless his devotees preserving their physical body through the ages.
