Shiva Mahavatar Babaji, by Pola Churchill

Shiva Mahavatar BabajiThere are few books that can take you on a journey to faraway places and also offer amazing insights. Shiva Mahavatar Babaji, by Pola Churchill is one of the those books. Within the pages of this short, concise narrative, the reader is taken on a journey into the Himalayan mountains "Where great saints and yogis of the past and present have made their ancestral homes since the beginning of creation. Shiva Mahavatar Babaji is the incredible story of adventure of spiritual awakening and spiritual awareness.  Testimonials from people who knew Babaji are fascinating and at times extraordinary. If one is unfamiliar with Babaji this is an excellent book to provide information on who he was, and what he taught.  And, if one is already acquainted with his teachings, the book offers other insights central to his message. . . .

Babaji excerpt: The next day, I went into the temple with everybody else for morning aarati. I went up to the Murti and made my pranam (put hands together and bow). Then it happened -- BANG!  Babaji hit me in the third eye with a giant gold OM sign, just like the one I'd seen on His forehead in my dream. I nearly fell over backwards. I was in shock. All I could feel Him saying is, "I am real, I am Babaji."  Another day, when I was just falling asleep at siesta time, Babaji lifted my eyelid gently and peered right into my being with His piercing eyes. He was saying, "Wake up, keep alert!" I felt like He was protecting and watching over me, too. The rest of the trip was very profound, but not without its dramas. The day we all visited Babaji's cave on the goofa side of the ashram, where the nine temples are across from the Gautama Ganga River, we all gathered, as there was an announcement to be made by Sondra Ray, our leader. She said, "I don't want to alarm, you, but I think you should all know this. A pneumonic plague has broken out, and it is airborne. We are all safe here in the ashram. It has only reached certain areas, so far." Well, that was it; everybody's worst nightmares about getting sick in India had just gathered to a frenzy! A real test of faith sent to try us. A few days later, as scheduled, we left for the nine day Navratri Divine Mother Festival in the northern ashram.


Babaji's Teachings
Babaji's teachings can be exemplified in three ways: Truth--satayut); Simplicity--saralata); Love--prema):
Truth:-The truth is god's eternal law. The truth starts with your thoughts--body mind and spirit.  The mind controls everything, therefore a balance of harmony within the individual is required for the expression of truth.
Simplicity:-Simplicity means living a simple, comfortable life, detached from the material world. This does not mean complete renunciation of necessary things or giving up an active role.
Love:-Love is the essence of all things: "love is god, and god is love" Requires a sense of unity and harmony with the universe and with oneself. If you are in alignment with the eternal law, you are living your truth. Babaji said "I don't want you to talk about truth, simplicity and love, I want you to live it!" 
Human pain and suffering are created by our ignorance and separation from the eternal law. The way to heal this is through purification techniques and discipline and chanting the mantra "om namah Shivaya".


It wasn't until after the India trip, and I'd been back in Los Angeles for seven months, integrating everything, that I had my most profound experience with Babaji. I was assisting on a Rebirthing Training Intensive in Mount Shasta, where people are trained to become professional rebirthers, at the beautiful Stewart Mineral Springs. On this particular day, May 4, 1995 (which happened to be my birthday) I went into a spontaneous rebirth. ...SHIVA MAHAVATAR BABAJI


MY EXPERIENCE WITH BABAJI: After some intense breathing, I had an amazing vision. Suddenly, this ball of golden light entered my body, and I felt waves of incredible, pure love come through me. I then released all the core grief and sadness that I had held onto in my body,immortal being, author of the books AGELESS LIVING and LIFE UNLIMITED. Creator of ENERGETIC BALANCING.
