- Claims: Yogananda’s autobiography popularized Mahavatar Babaji and introduced him to the Western world, depicting Babaji as an immortal yogi guiding humanity.
- Issues: While Autobiography of a Yogi is widely revered, Yogananda’s accounts are based on mystical visions and subjective spiritual experiences. Scholars like Georg Feuerstein suggest that the figure of Babaji might be more symbolic, representing the ideal of an enlightened being, rather than a historically verified individual (Mahavatar Babaji – Hist…).
- Refuted by: Lack of historical documentation or external corroboration of Babaji’s existence outside spiritual texts. His narrative remains highly subjective and unverified.
