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

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, that had been there for eons of time. This release came out in the form of a deep, wailing sound. I was stunned! Did that noise come out of my mouth? When I had cleared that out of my body, the golden ball of light exploded into every part of my body, and more waves of indescribable love surged through me for quite a period of time. I couldn't believe how I was feeling; it was pure divine ecstasy. It was almost too much to contain. Then I saw an angel (like Archangel Gabriel) hovering over me with these huge, soft, white feather wings. It was like he was protecting and guarding me. (I always thought angels were a myth.) Then I heard this celestial music, which was definitely not of this world; it must have been an astral sound. It was similar to very soft, refined chimes. I thought I had died and gone to heaven! This sound stayed with me till the following day. That ball of golden light was Babaji exploding in my body. He was telling me that He was there for me and watching over me, and the message was "You can truly have heaven on earth in your present body, and you don't have to die or leave your body to attain this." I felt like I had given birth, was reborn, and the whole atomic structure of my cells had been rearranged yet again, even since being in India. What a beautiful birthday present ? thank you, Babaji!
Babaji's energy is available to you, just as much as it is to me or anybody else. It depends on how much you are ready to receive.
