Gertraud Reichel - Babaji - Gateway to the Light

The book

Inspired by his dreams, a young Indian went searching for and found a sadhu "of perfect beauty" sitting in deep absorption, in a cave in the Himalayas. It was June, 1970 and the young sadhu soon revealed himself to be the incarnation of the legendary Babaji, a great saint of the Himalayas, famous in the nineteenth century, whose recent advent had been prophesised. In the years thereafter, Babaji lived and taught at the ashram in the north-Indian village of Haidakhan until, as he himself said, "he had fulfilled his task", and voluntarily left his body in February 1984. This book is about marvellous, multifaceted everyday life in the presence of Babaji, both in Haidakhan and on tour, as experienced by visitors and devotees, and in particular by the author. Drawing from her many visits during the years 1979 - 1984, she intimately describes her own personal experiences with Babaji at his ashram and when she had the privilege to accompany him on tour through various parts of India.

Introduction Introduction "I have come to give. Are you ready to receive?" Babaji Whenever planet Earth faces great upheavals, Immortals and enlightened Masters intervene in humankind's destiny, to warn people of forthcoming changes and to protect and guide them towards a higher consciousness. This was Babaji's service from 1970 to 1984, when he appeared in physical form and gave guidance and instruction to all those who approached him or listened to his call. Babaji's power was such that he could easily attend to the various needs of his many disciples all at once and on all levels of their awareness. Therefore each one, present with him at a particular scene or situation, would be experiencing quite a different "reality" in the same moment. The experiences described in this book need to be understood in this context. Babaji was "dancing" with me, but at the same time he was "dancing" with many others, very much like Krishna and his 16000 gopis (herdswomen), each of whom was under the impression that he danced only with her. This book has been written for all those who did not experience Babaji in person, but who nevertheless feel attracted to him as the Universal Master; and also for those who were close to him, for they may remember once more some of their own adventures and experiences. May all readers feel his omnipresent love and his eternal protection: OM NAMAH SHIVAY. Babaji

Babaji

Whenever planet Earth faces great upheavals, Immortals and enlightened Masters intervene in humankind's destiny, to warn people of forthcoming changes and to protect and guide them towards a higher consciousness. This was Babaji's service from 1970 to 1984, when he appeared in physical form and gave guidance and instruction to all those who approached him or listened to his call.

Babaji's power was such that he could easily attend to the various needs of his many disciples all at once and on all levels of their awareness. Therefore each one, present with him at a particular scene or situation, would be experiencing quite a different "reality" in the same moment. The experiences described in this book need to be understood in this context. Babaji was "dancing" with me, but at the same time he was "dancing" with many others, very much like Krishna and his 16000 gopis (herdswomen), each of whom was under the impression that he danced only with her.
