Top 4 Quotes & Sayings by Haidakhan Babaji

Haidakhan Babaji, simply called Babaji by his students and devotees, was a spiritual teacher who appeared in an ancient cave located at the foothills of Kumaon Mount Kailash where today Navadurga temples are built and it is in the small village called Haidakhan in Kumaon division on the banks of Gaula River (India). The Haidakhan village is about 20 km from Nainital in northern India (Uttarakhand). Babaji taught publicly from 1970 until his Mahāsamādhi on 14 February 1984. The village is named after a medicinal herb by the name of harid/harad which is available in abundance and the word 'Khan' is a malapropism of Hindi word 'Khand' which means section/block/segment. So, originally the village was called Haridkhand but over the period of time the local pronunciation has changed and today the village is officially known as Haidakhan. Shri Babaji was also called by different names as Tryambak Baba, Bhole Baba, Shiva Baba, Muni Baba, Lama Baba, Maha Munindra, Munindra Bhawan etc. by his various devotees.
