first experience with Baba

maybe March 1993


This was the first direct experience I had with Baba as a margii. I was taking part in some kind of lft training in Copenhagen, Denmark. Our trainer was Dada Krtashivananda. 


There were only two other brothers present, which were also quite new. From the first day on, I did not feel happy there and wanted to leave. But after talking to Dada and being somewhat impressed by his personality I decided to stay. 


Apart from his lectures, the training gave me mostly clash. However, we had a nice time when we went for one week to Sweden TC for the Easter retreat. Then, at the end of the training (again in Copenhagen) we watched a Baba video. 


During the video, Baba gave the varabhaya mudra. It was the first time that I had seen Baba give it in a video. So I just sat there and watched. 


To my big surprise when Baba gave the mudra, a very special vibration came from His hands and reached my anahata cakra, the place around my heart. It was like a little shower of bliss, both refreshing and soothing.


And another surprise was to see Dada, who usually was very calm, almost being violently thrown down to the ground.


So I realised that Baba was really a special Guru and my faith in Him became stronger and stronger.


I also realised that the training one undergoes is very personal and cannot be assessed by intellect.
