Many of you have read (in a previous post several years ago) my experience with the "presense" of Babaji when my mother was instanteously healed in 1958.

Yes I do "believe in him".

Ironically yesterday I was looking through a large used book shop in Long Beach, Ca. In the Yoga section there was a book written in the 1960s that was about the travels by a western author to meet advanced Yogis in India and Tibet. I don't remember the title or the author. I looked up Yogandanda in the index and was surprised to see a small section on Babaji. The author of the book asked "the Guru" not connected with the kriya lineage of Yogananda, whether "Yogananda's Babaji" was real. The Master gave an account similar to the one in the Autobiography of a Yogi. First he said that yes Babaji did on ocassion reveal himself to some individuals and it appeared to me from a cusory read of this section of the book that he had knowledge of some occurances. There was even some talk of his ability to material and disappear at will and some discussions of a few advanced Yogis in Babaji's in his "group".

I decided not to buy the used book. If someone would like to make a trip to "Acres of Books" Store in Long Beach, it is in the section on Yoga and it is a hardback black cover.
