In reply to: True - 5 Jan 2005 's message, "Re: Meeting Babaji" on 09:32:09 01/17/05 Mon


In 1971, a young man with occult powers was discovered by villagers in a cave near the village of Herakhan. Know as "Herakhan Baba," he grew in popularity and was discovered and promoted by Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray, the founders of the "rebirthing" movement, as none other than the immortal Babaji.

His photograph appears in many places today and his devotees have created much confusion. Herakhan Baba, who died of poisoning in 1983, never claimed that he was Babaji. He lived a life with his own rules which did not reflect the purity of Babaji, and he never taught Kriya Yoga.

Whatever good this man did, there never was any reason to associate him with the Immortal Babaji. After being repeatedly pressed by his new American agents, "Aren`t you Babaji? You must be Babaji?," he finally gave up resisting and declared "If you say I am Babaji, I must be Babaji."

Our research has further revealed that he was the illegitimate son of a retired British civil servant, Mr. Wilson, and his Sikh maid servant. His family still lives in Ranikhet, and the locals there refer to Herakhan Baba as "Wilson Baba."

He had been raised from the age of five by a notorious Tantric master, Naintal Baba, who taught him how to appear in others dreams and other common tantric powers. This Naintal Baba himself claims to be Babaji!

Naive Westerners simply assumed that just because a sadhu had some powers and because others claimed he was Babaji, he must be Babaji!
