Posted @withregram • @layasthana "Whenever anyone utters with reverence the name of Babaji," Lahiri Mahasaya said, "that devotee attracts an instant spiritual blessing." No limiting facts about Babaji's family or birthplace, dear to the annalist's heart, have ever been discovered. He has adopted the simple name of Babaji (revered father); other titles of respect given him by Lahiri Mahasaya's disciples are Mahamuni Babaji Maharaj (supreme ecstatic saint), Maha Yogi (greatest of yogis), Trambak Baba and Shiva Baba (titles of avatars of Shiva). Does it matter that we know not the patronymic of an earth-released master? -Chapter 33 (Babaji, The Yogi-Christ Of Modern India) I had been desiring to paint an image of Mahavatar Babaji for several days. However; one, I had no idea how it’ll turn out. Two, I didn’t know if I had the courage to do it. And then exactly two days later after I made up my mind to go ahead, @aforarwind gets in touch with a request to create some artwork related to the great being. We were both equally surprised and ended up having a lengthy conversation. I could have easily shunned it away thinking it was a mere coincidence, but after this painting materialised today, I can safely say that it wasn’t. 🙏🏽 So blessed.
