Mahavatar Babaji Commemoration Day

This is the day when Babaji appeared before Paramahansa Yogananda at his Garpar Road home in Kolkata, responding to his prayer for blessing and assurance for his mission in the west.
Babaji told Yoganandaji:
"You are the one I have chosen to spread the message of Kriya Yoga in the West. Long ago I met your guru Yukteswar at a Kumbha Mela; I told him then I would send you to him for training."

"Kriya Yoga, the scientific technique of God-realization," he said with solemnity, "will ultimately spread in all lands, and aid in harmonizing the nations through man's personal, transcendental perception of the Infinite Father."

Mahavatar Babaji has promised to guard and guide all sincere Kriya Yogis in their path toward the Goal...."Whenever anyone utters with reverence the name of Babaji," Lahiri Mahasaya said, "that devotee attracts an instant spiritual blessing."
(From the Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda)
