Katrin’s Experience With Mahavatar Babaji
In his book, “Unity With the Divine”, Mahavatar Babaji offered a meditation he called, “The Forty Day Meditation.” Many people around the world have since completed this 40 days of meditation. At Babaji’s instruction in his book, one may connect with him in meditation daily for optimally an hour or more. And if one is committed to only 10 minutes a day for forty days, Babaji wrote that he will be there with you in even 10 minutes for forty days. The consecutive 40 days of meditation is important for one’s commitment to complete this meditation Katrin speaks of one of her profound experiences during this mediation.
Katrin: During the “Forty Day Meditation” with Babaji, I once was so tired that I fell asleep during the meditation. I tried again and again, but could not stay awake anymore, so I gave up and lay down to sleep. I prayed to Babaji: ‘Please Babaji, today I am too tired to meditate, please visit me in my dreams.’ And he did! That night I had this special dream:
I was walking through Shree Peetha Nilaya (Sri Swami Vishwananda’s ashram in Springen, Germany) when I met Babaji. There was a special atmosphere around me and it felt like a high vibration but at the same time peaceful and still.
Without moving his lips, Babaji talked to me in a language I never had heard before (at least in this lifetime), but I understood every word. It felt like he was directly speaking into my brain. Nobody had ever talked to me like this before. Babaji instructed me to bend the upper part of my body. I could not see him because I was bent over, but it felt like Babaji held his hands over my sacrum and I felt a big relief. (Sacrum: a triangular bone at the base of the spine that joins to a hip bone on each side and forms part of the pelvis. In human beings it consists of five fused vertebrae.)
I knew without a doubt then that Babaji wanted me to look into his eyes again, and so I did. Again he talked to me in this special way. He said: “I will now connect you with _________, who has not incarnated on Earth for eons. (When I woke up, I remembered everything except this name. It was like Babaji had said a name of which I was not to speak in the future?) He then connected me with this energy he had named and I felt an enormous strong current going through my body like lightening. Babaji reported to somebody else, (I could "hear" and I knew that he was talking to someone about my strong reaction.) Mahavatar Babaji then disappeared as I realized that Babaji had reconnected me with all I once knew.
Normally, I can’t remember dreams clearly. Most of the time my dreams are confusing, but this one with Babaji was crystal clear. I cannot find a better description than saying it felt super real. This experience with Mahavatar Babaji felt more real than the reality I face and live in every day!

The God, Indra, impersonates a sage
And subsequently lives with his spouse
As husband and wife.Then Vishnu
While incarnated as Rama,
Liberates the cursed and saintly Ahilya
From the Stone she sat in for centuries...
Rama sends Sita to the burning fire
To test her purity during her time in the
Ten-headed demon Ravana’s hands.
Women stand up and shot…
Hey Gods up there, out there, in there,
Or wherever you are…
Are you listening?
It was not woman Sita’s fault,
But rather that of a demon-man!
Would that the God Rama kills and liberates
the demon Ravana,
And sends his chaste wife, the lovely Sita,
To the fiery embers, true?
Where is the justice and dharma in that?
We really want to know !
And we read that Vishnu and Brahma are jealous
Of Shiva’s unlimited nature
And spend a thousand years looking for
The end of him.
If . . .
The Gods impersonate a husband and
Live as spose with his wife
As Indra is reportedly to have done, and
Maha Vishnu was dharmicly bound to liberate
The saintly wife, Ahilya, from the stone
In which she had sat for centuries...
If. . .
Rama bows to common judgment of man,
Rather than Divine wisdom, and then sends Sita
To purification’s testing fire. . .
If. . .
Vishnu and Brahma are jealous of
Shiva’s perceived “Divine greater power”
World Without end, Amen…
Did you ever dare to wonder how it is
That man continues to trust and love
These Gods who seemingly, and reportedly too,
Do the very lower-nature things like man,
Those things that the Gods teach man that
They truly should transform and move on beyond?
I confess . . . I have!
Many times and time again and again.
Right in the middle of your doubt and wondering,
Then,
The Gods do something perfectly Divine,
Like showing up in meditation
And giving you instruction and
Mahavatar Babaji’s Kriya Shakti,
Of which you are certain,
Moves you forward on your Path—
That Atma Kriya,
Swami Vishwananda’s Bhakti Way.
Or out of the blue, the Gods gift you a siddhi,
The Divine Right of Kings and Gods. . .
Or a lovely, smiling, beautiful-faced God gives you
A Samadhi experience by pulling your hair,
Wherein for seven hours you see
Through silver, shimmering light.
Draw a picture of that!
And you hear, feel and see. . .
The Heartbeat of God in everything…
And everyone who is near.
Or God gives you a boon
Straight from Shiva and Mt. Kailash. . .
That God who is renowned for giving boons, and,
You have been praying to him
During Shivaratri’s Firey Lingam Night.
And then you notice the very same Gods,
Who make you wonder. . .
Are the Gods crazy, or what?
Watch them. . .
“That is blasphemy”,
The Christian God surely might say
From the burning bush of Moses’ day.
You perceive that the very same Gods who
Give you countless reasons to doubt them,
Also, sincerely and brilliantly
Do have the radiance of
Something indefinably and
Heavenly out of this world,
Something simply and gracefully Divine.
And your spiritual heart melts at the feet of
These self-same Gods who give you boons,
Pull your hair, Smile with a thousand suns,
Run with the wind of Hanuman,
The Dharma of Ram,
The perseverance of Vishnu’s preserving,
The Creativeness of Brahma,
The thunder bolts of destruction-regeneration
Of Shiva and his Nataraja dance.
Shout Alleluia and Sing out loud and clear
Nat…a…ra…ja ---- Nat…a…ra…ja.
And you think to solve this problem:
For God's sake, get a life !
Get a hero !
No ! I’m stamping my two-year-old ego feet !
I won’t…I won’t…I won’t..
I am done with third-dimensional that!
Rather. . .
Ah,
Just capitulate,
Surrender,
Throw in the towel,
Bow and kiss the holy feet:
Wear your borrowed sari
From Chakraita,
That lovely Indian Madonna,
In just the right Jewel-tone
Of the deepest, shinning, sequined burgundy,
That's truly the Indian way.
Paint on Vishnu’s V-Tilak
Making sure it is in the proper forehead spot,
The still-alive ego shouts,
Cause
Swami will notice it’s not drawn straight,
For surely he will be looking for you !
Kiss the Christian icons of blood,
Hair, bone and cloth,
Sing and dance till the stroke of midnight
On New Years’ Eve’s bright night,
Till 2011
Rings in this 365 days before. . .
Dear beautiful-faced God,
Is it doomsday 2012?
And only God knows what will happen then !
Saints be praised.
And love divinely and unconditionally these crazy,
Unbelievable charming Gods
With all your mind,
With all your heart,
And with all your soul…
Just like the Christian Bible of your youth
Still says: "Love the Lord, thy God ", like that.
Cause all is right with the Gods,
Mankind and this world.
Amen and Om.
