“ Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.”
~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Have you ever heard of a character named Hariakhan Baba? Maybe you’ve heard of him by another name; Babaji Mahavatar? If it wasn’t for the hard work and research of a fellow named Sri Mahendra Brahmachari a lot less people would know about this unusual saint.
Babaji was known by a number of other names; Mahamuni, Trayambak Baba, Shiva Baba, Babaji Maharaj, etc. One time he was in a village that was hungry and out of the ghee needed to cook. He dipped water from the stream and replenished the kitchen with pure ghee. He told the villagers to put some ghee back in the river later.
Devotees witnessed him bathing in two different places at once. One time a man who encountered him as a young man in his twenties met him again 60 years later and he hadn’t aged a bit. Once, when invited to visit a village, he told his host he wished to not stay in a house. The villagers prepared an area and built a fire. It was the month of January and raining very hard. They were astonished to see that it was raining everywhere but the place that Babaji was sitting and that the fire was burning without any hindrance from water or wind.
