BIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A divine soul took birth In the latter half of nineteenth century on an auspicious Thursday. The day of the birth of this divine consciousness fell on Guru Purnima (a full moon day falling on the day dedicated to the Guru). Baba Prakashpuri was a man of detachment. However, for his attendants and disciples he was very kind-hearted and generous. Baba Prakashpuri was a simple, and inostentatious saint . He was at peace with his own inner self. Babaji was a Sadguru (worthy preceptor), a siddh (manifested with magical power) saint. He was a man of few words, and those words are always positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baba Prakashpuri\u00a0 was a simple, and unostentatious saint . He was at peace with his own inner self. He was one such rare\u00a0Guru\u00a0who would always discourage his own worship by his disciples. On being cajoled and requested repeatedly, only once in his life-time did he concede to \u00a0get consecrated by his devotees. He believed in humanitarianism and \u00a0was unconnected in \u00a0the absolute sense. Though he was, without doubt, extra-ordinary, he strove to remain ordinary. Whether it \u00a0was organizing a free-meal for the poor on a grand scale in\u00a0Maha Kumbh\u00a0Fair at\u00a0Haridwar,\u00a0or the consecration of\u00a0Shiva Lingum\u00a0by the five top\u00a0Shivacharyas\u00a0(top ordained devotees of lord\u00a0Shiva), He always desisted from taking a very special persons seat on the gaudy dais meant for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baba Prakashpuri,\u00a0envisioned the presence of God in all men and women,\u00a0Baba\u00a0respected all religions. In the same way, he would respect all birds, animals, even insects. He would never ask anyone who visited his\u00a0Ashram\u00a0anything about his caste or his hermitage as \u201cswami\u201d\u00a0(Master) and each women as \u201cMai\u201d(Mother) . Further, each devotee was free to worship the deity he had faith in, or meditate in his own individual way in his\u00a0Ashram. Even today one could come across a few foreigner devotees who would spot an image of Jesus Christ in\u00a0Baba\u2019s\u00a0person. On many occasions\u00a0sufi quawwals\u00a0would be singing their\u00a0quawallis\u00a0\u00a0in the \u00a0worship of\u00a0Allah\u00a0\u00a0as they before\u00a0Baba\u2019s\u00a0statue. Sufi quawwals\u00a0\u00a0are singers, generally Muslim, who clap their palms rhythmically as they sing their\u00a0quawallis\u00a0which are primarily spiritual or metaphysical compositions. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babaji\u00a0was a\u00a0Sadguru\u00a0(worthy preceptor), a\u00a0siddh\u00a0(manifested with magical\/ miraculous power) saint. He was a man of few words, and those words are always positive. He did not believed in preaching; he preached through practice only. Deeply contented, he was severe patient, sober and focused. However, whoever knew\u00a0Babaji\u00a0from close quarters; swear that he had a great sense of humor. Sometimes, he would stump a person with his brilliant witticisms. This is because his humor transcended all worldly jealousies and selfishness. His wit was buoyed with joy of a rare kind. His words reflected the innocence and transparency of a little child. The true characteristic of a saint is that his mind is pure; this is perhaps, because of the fact that he may be a\u00a0Sadhak\u00a0(a spiritual preserver) of the highest kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
