Mahavatar Babaji’s given name and date of birth are not known. All called him by the title first given to him by Lahiri Mahasaya who met him in the year 1961. "Mahavatar" means "great avatar", and "Babaji" simply means "revered father". Some of the encounters included two or more witnesses—discussions between those who met Mahavatar Babaji indicate that they all met the same person.

Babaji Cave is situated in the Mountain of Dunagiri(near village Kukuchina), Dist-Almora, Utarakhand. Lahiri Mahasaya learned technique of Kriya Yoga from Babaji Maharaj 1861. The original technique was remodeled by Lahiri Mahasaya into a graded discipline so as to enable the modern man to easily assimilate and master the technique, step by step.

Now the Babaji Cave occupied by the YSS, Dwarahat Ashram. They closed the main entrance gate of the cave by stone and also placed a iron gate in front of the cave with a lock. It is very indiscipline that the people(people of India and abroad) come to see the cave are mentally and physically harassed.

From the moral point of view the gate should be opened to the public because of public/historical place.

  • gate is closed it is better for devotees because it is for the safety of the devotees and good preservation of the cave. one can always have the from the ashram. i think it is good. skverma 0124-2580188
  • Gate should remain closed. SEEKER will reach HIM anyway. NON-SEEKER have no value for the place. Forget the lock. Make Urself worthy, all locks shall disappear. All places are not tourist spots. One can reach anywhere doesnot make them eligible for everything there. I manage an Ashram in Kumaon only. Tourist perform sex anywhere possible. They ruin sanctity of the place.
