Mahavatar Babaji (IAST: Mahāvatāra Bābājī; lit.

'Great Avatar (Revered) Father') is the Himalayan yogi and guru who taught Kriya Yoga to Lahiri Mahasaya (1828–1895).

This song was recorded and released on their 1977 album Even in the Quietest Moments...[7] In Book 3 of Conversations with God (1998), by Neale Donald Walsch, it is mentioned that Babaji may at one time have resurrected himself from the dead, like Jesus.
