Not much was known about this great guru except for the little information that is got from Paramahans Yoganand’s book. He was made known to the public for the first time through that book, though he was there thousands of years before and is still present in the remote ranges of Himalayas.

Some people say that Mahavatar Baba is the legendary Kripacharya, the immortal guru and warrior of Dwapar yuga. He has appeared from time to time at various places in different forms. Almora Baba, Haidakhan Baba, Trayambak Baba etc. are some of the avatars that he was donned through his perpetual existence.

Babaji has guided several spiritual gurus of the past. Among them were Shankarcharya and Kabir. Jesus received his Kriya yog initiation in Kashmir from the great guru. Even today Christ remains in continual contact with Babaji and both of them try to spread the consciousness of love, peace and spiritual existence in the world through their spiritual vibrations.

Paramahans Rahuleshwaranadji is one of those fortunate ones, who has received the Kriya yog initiation directly from the great guru. He and his brother disciple Prakashanadji, were sent to Mahavatar Babaji by Paramhans Trijataji. The story of their first meeting with the deathless master is very enthralling. The story is being given here in the words of Swami Prakashanandji.

After we had received knowledge on Tantric percepts from Trijataji, he insisted that I and Rahuleshwaranadji should go and receive the techniques of Kriya yog from Mahavatar Babaji himself. The only clue about his whereabouts given to us by Trijataji was that he generally wandered about the Nar-Narayan mountain ranges in Badrinath and the Kalindi range which was beyond it. The temple of Badrinath is one of most beautiful and spiritually vibrant shrines of the world. Situated in a large, wide valley its general aura exhudes a sense of peace and purity.

Twenty-three kms. of strenuous trekking from Badrinath brings a person to a place called Swargarohini. It is believed that here are natural made stairs that ascend to the heaven. The Pandvas had come here after the Mahabharat war and were tested while they ascended towards heaven.
From here, extremely rough and dangerous route of about 10 km. may take an indomitable trekker to the Kalinidi cave which is situated in the Kalinidi mountain range. An ordinary mortal cannot reach there. Unless one has mastered Pranayam (a special breathing technique) one’s brain nerves may burst due to lack of oxygen.
We trekked for five tiresome days, continuously and reached the Kalinidi cave tired and exhausted. Indeed this cave can be called the wonder of nature. It is several kms. long and wide. In the middle is a large open ground encircled by mountains. The most surprising part is that though the mountains are all covered with snow, there is no trace of it on the ground. The ground is covered by a thick dawn of velvety grass. In the middle is a lake of crystal clear water, in the centre of which a very grand shivalinga is established. It is believed that lord Brahma comes everyday here to worship the lord with blue lotus.
In one section of the Kalinidi cave one can see hundreds of high caliber yogis seated in lotus posture, immersed in divine communion. They have been sitting thus for many-many years. During the night time the rays of penance that emit from their bodies light up the entire region.
Trijataji had told us that the great guru will meet us here. Hence we waited there for three days. A single morsel of food had not passed our lips for five days. We were feeling desperate when the next day we received Trijataji’s order – “Babaji is right now on Mt. Meru. Go and meet him there. I have talked to him about you.”
We started for Mt. Meru at once. How we traversed that merciless and unforgiving terrain is a story in itself. Yet when we reached the smmit of the mountain at last – broken, starved and fatigued – all our anxieties came to and end. Seated in lotus posture on a large boulder before us was the great immortal guru. Six advanced yogis sat around him along three beautiful and enchanting yoginis. On the right hand one could see three caves.

PARAMHANS TRIJATAJI AGHORIJI- THE MYSTIC GURU
No words can describe the personality o f Trijata Aghori.  He is a phenomenon in himself. Excessively tall and massive in frame yet so childlike and unassuming mentally.
One moment he would laugh uproariously at the slightest jest and the other he would feign discontent and anger over a trivial matter.  Those who are acquainted with him
pay due deference to the unique guru, but those who know him closely claim that he is the most loving being in the entire universe.
Trijataji is the greatest adept in the field of Tantra and has guided many on its intricate path. Those who have advanced to a high level in tantra consider him his guru,
as at one time or the other; they have been assisted by him. The particulars of his life which may be so dear to the biographer are not known, however he is one of those
gurus who has existed for centuries.
Presently he lives on Mt. Nagarujana in the remotest part of the Himalayas, in Tibet. He has been there for the past 150 yrs and has not come down once from his abode.
This place is at a very high altitude and the surrounding region and mountains are always covered with snow. But, surprisingly, Mt. Nagarjuna is green with all sorts of
vegetation and trees. Indeed one is surprised on seeing this one mountain which is in deep contrast to its surrounding.
This mountain is extremely mysterious. Nobody can climb it unless Trijataji wishes so. Two huge white lionesses keep vigil as they roar around on the mountain, round the
clock. The Chinese military has tried several times to climb the mountain but the lioness drives them away. Bullets are ineffective on the felines, as they have been
created by Trijataji through his Maya.
These two lionesses, so mercilessly aggressive towards the intruders, are as gentle as lambs towards the ashram inmates. When in mood, Trijataji milks them and distributes
the milk amongst his disciples.
Paramhans Swami Rahuleshwaranandji too has had the good fortune to live with the great guru. He was sent to him by Baba Khapparnathji. When asked about his experiences with
the Tantric adept, he stayed silent for a while as if recalling his memories and then said- I was a little apprehensive at first because I had heard many stories about him.
His outward appearance was that of an Aghori and he did what he liked. Himalaya is so vast, where and how will I meet him? I had heard that the way to Mt. Nagarjuna was
extremely tedious and only the most unrelenting could reach there.
He was the unique master who had rediscovered the Mrita Sanjeevani Vidya (raising up the dead), and the divine master in my mind, I prayed for their assistance in locating
the great guru. At last after many trials and tribulations I reached a village from where Mt. Nagarjuna was just 2 km away. I could see the green mountain amongst the snow
laden ones. And at once thrilling sensation ran through my spine.
I had been walking for five days continuously in extremely cold conditions. My body was tired and aching all over. I had high fever. Therefore, I went to a vaidya
(Ayurvedic Doctor) living in that village. He gave me some herbal medicine and instructed me to rest for three-four days.
On the fourth day I was feeling better. I decided to go to the mountain, reaching their when I started climbing the mountain, I realized my mistake. I was not yet completely
recovered from my condition and this exertion did not mend matters. I was completely exhausted as reached the top. Before me was a small temple of Lord Bhairav. I was
enchanted by the beautiful idol situated there. Full of devotion, my lips started chanting the eulogy of the Lord automatically.  After paying my obeisance to the deity,
when I turned around, my heart leapt into my mouth…
Before me was huge man between 7-8 feet with an appearance of an Aghori. His hair was dived into three braids and he wore a tiger skin around his waist. I was already
tired and weak, but now I was frightened as well. I tried to pass him quietly, and as I did so, he continued staring at me. Suddenly I felt that I was nailed to the ground
and could not move further nor take a single step on me. And I started chanting Raksha Mantra in my mind. Realizing what I was doing he picked me up in his arms, turned
around a few times in his joy and placed me on the ground. I was still a little frightened.
Then he caught hold of my hand and started moving in one direction. I could not utter a word of remonstrance. It seemed to me that we were walking in air and in a few
minutes had covered many miles! Then he stopped at a place and asked gleefully –“you have sent by Khapparnathji, isn’t it? I replied in the affirmative and realized with
some relief that he was none but the great guru who I had to seek.
After then, I stayed 25 days with him (through overall I have lived six yrs with him) and the love I received from him is unparallel. I was given the seva (service) of
cooking food for everyone.
“What is my fine Mewari cooking today?” he would ask calling me by the name of my native place. There is no one in the world, nay in the universe that is as loving as
Trijataji. The nectar of compassion that flows incessantly from his eyes soothes the nerves and nourishes the mend and body of every person. He loves everyone, especially
his disciple very much.
Once Trijataji was staying on another mountain peak with some of his newly initiated disciples. He was doing some special Sadhana sitting on a boulder of rock crystal.
He was always engrossed in his Sadhana except for a small brief period.
One day when Trijataji was away during one of these short intervals an Aghori named Kalanath come there and said, ”it’s the command of lord Mahakala that  his servant
should perform Sadhana here. Leave this place immediately.”
The disciple standing there welcomed him in a friendly fashion and said, “Please wait for two days more. Swami Gurudev’s Sadhana will be accomplished by then and you

may commence your Sadhana. But the Aghori was not in a mood to listen anything he started cursing and abusing all around. Trijataji has always taught love to his disciples.
Therefore even after the intruder’s hostile manner they continued to resume reasoning with him mildly.
At that Trijataji returned and without paying any heed to the Aghori went straight to the boulder and sat on it. Seeing this Aghori shivered with uncontrollable rage and

yelled obscenities at the top of his voice. Seeing that nobody was paying attention to his antics he used the most dreaded spell known as kritya on a nearby disciple.

At once Trijataji’s appearance underwent a drastic change. The gentle guru’s eyes emitted fire and his whole body become a storehouse of explosive anger. He seemed like

wrathful Shiva who had destroyed Daksha’s Yagna. Trijatji loves his disciple dearly and cannot tolerate their pain. He at once raised his left hand and absorbed the power
of that unforgiving Kritya, yet it was a moment too late for some of this power has passed the disciple’s body and he fell down unconscious.
Trijataji threw a powerful gaze at the Aghori and the next instant he flew 10-15 feet in the air and around 20-25mts down the mountain. Trijataji picked up the disciple
in his arms and took him inside a cave. He moved his hand in the air and acquired a special herb, which his disciples were to render in a paste and apply it on the victim’s
body.
Then Trijataji went to the place where the Aghori fell – blood was gushing out from his nose, mouth and ears. Death was written on his face. Seeing gurudev he managed to

join his palms in supplication as if seeking forgiveness. But Trijata was inconsolable, he said- “These disciples are all my children and I do not forgive those who try
to hurt them.”
The aghori’s eyes were filled with tears of remorse. Seeing this disciples pleaded with gurudev to forgive the transgressor. On their request he became clam and forgave the
Aghori. He too was carried to a cave and cured by the master.
Once a disciple inquired of the great guru, ‘O master! How can one acquire all the knowledge in the Vedas and the scriptures.  How can one possibly do it in a single lifetime?’

Trijataji  looked at him and said , “Just learn how to love, just learn how to bestow love and you will have received the essence of all the scriptures.”
Rahuleshwaranandji says that Trijataji is the greatest adept of Mrit Sanjeevani Vidya. He received this knowledge along with other Tantra practices from him directly.
Even the sadhana of Mahakali which is the first of ten Mahavidyas was done under Trijataji’s guidance.
“Whatever love I have showered on you all,” says Rahuleshwaranandji to his disciple,” I have received from my guru Trijataji. Unless you behold him with your eyes
you cannot realize what true love is.”
