Haidakhan Babaji — also known simply as Babaji or Mahavatar Babaji of Haidakhan — is a revered spiritual figure who appeared in the village of Haidakhan (Haidakhān), near the Kumaon foothills of the Himalayas in northern India, around 1970.

🌺 Key Information

• Appearance: Babaji is said to have manifested spontaneously in a cave near Haidakhan between 1970 and 1984, without any known parents or prior identity.
• Teachings: His core message was simple yet profound:
  “Truth, Simplicity, and Love.”
  These were the three guiding principles he emphasized as the essence of spiritual life.
• Karma Yoga: He strongly encouraged selfless service (karma yoga) and devotion to God through work, rather than retreat from the world.
• Universal Message: Babaji did not promote any particular religion. He taught that all faiths lead to the same Divine source and stressed unity among humanity.
• Disappearance: Babaji left his physical form on February 14, 1984, though many of his devotees believe he continues to exist in subtle or immortal form.

🕉️ Connection to Mahavatar Babaji (from the Yogic tradition)

Many devotees associate Haidakhan Babaji with Mahavatar Babaji, the immortal yogi mentioned in Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi. Both are believed to be manifestations of the same eternal being — a teacher who appears at different times to restore dharma and guide humanity.

📿 Legacy

• The Haidakhan Vishva Mahadham Ashram still operates in Haidakhan, Uttarakhand.
• Temples and ashrams inspired by him exist across Europe, the Americas, and India.
• His followers continue daily practices of aarti (devotional chanting), karma yoga, and meditation on the Divine Name (“Om Namah Shivaya”).
