Shyama Charan Lahiri (Kaivalya Darsanam)

  1. Claims: Lahiri Mahasaya’s Kaivalya Darsanam is one of the first texts to mention Babaji and his role in teaching Kriya Yoga.
  2. Issues: The text provides a more limited account of Babaji than later sources. The mystical nature of the encounters described does not offer concrete details about Babaji’s historical presence, leading some to view Babaji as a spiritual metaphor rather than a historical figure (Mahavatar Babaji – Hist…).
  3. Refuted by: While Kaivalya Darsanam is an important text for Kriya Yoga practitioners, it does not provide verifiable facts regarding Babaji’s life or identity.
