From what I understand, this is the Babaji that Yogananda speaks of in his autobiography. I visited a bunch of sites that claim that this is the Babaji. The site www.babaji.net has a lot of information as well as links to ther sites on Babaji.

The guy you're talking about was not the Babji He was some other dude that other people labeled as Babji Will the real Babaji please stand up? No, seriously though, the people that practice Kriya yoga totally reject this fellow as being their Babaji. I have read their arguments and they seem to be pretty sound. The Fellow in Canada, Govindam or something like that , has written about this guy he claims is an imposter. It might be on his website. It was always my understanding that the Babaji was a light body emanation of the Nath mahasiddha, Goraknatha, i.e. the revealer of modern hatha-yoga and pranayama. That seems to be what the Yogananda lineage is saying. Now this is a rather common name. Are other people claiming a physical human is the same Babaji of Autobiography of a Yogi fame? I think people confuse the two all the time. I know I did because like most people my introduction to Babaji was through Autobiography of a Yogi and just assumed there was one Babaji. __ Yahoo!
