Spiritual Pathways

Mystic Pathways to Love, Peace and Happiness Note prepared by QUESST Publications for Babaji: The first Edition of the book Mystic Pathways --- was a very expensive one because it was produced using full color printing, being a special anniversary edition. Babaji was delighted with the product but not pleased that it was so costly. Therefore QUESST Publications, a non-profit, non-funded and non-commercial voluntary service for Babaji (the two Ss in the name stand for Scientific and Spiritual) has worked overtime to bring out a new black and white edition at a much lower cost. This second edition is similar to the first except for the addition of a brief table of contents and a small appendix at the end. It is hoped thereby to make this book available to a much wider readership worldwide not just through Amazon but also other online retailers as well as book stores. The ISBN for this second edition is ISBN-13: 978-1546343790 ISBN-10: 1546343792 We are ...

Note Prepared by QUESST to announce new book for Ashok Babaji's Blog Dear friends and well wishers, while some of you would have found the contents of this blog useful, there are others who prefer to read it all together in a single book. That is precisely what has been done and the book released yesterday on the eighteenth death anniversary of Ashok Babaji’s mother – Nand Rani or Nando as known to all who knew her.   She was his first teacher in this life towards values of love, truth, simplicity, beauty and laughter. Being a special anniversary issue, the book was printed using full color.   As a consequence the book has become an expensive one. However, it is proposed to release a second addition in the very near future at a much lower price using black, white and gray scales for printing. Hopefully, this would then make it available to a much wider readership. The book does not include  pictures of this blog but includes slight modifications so th...

The Himalayas have been a source of spiritual knowledge and inspiration since ancient times. It has been the abode or origin of numerous saints and mystics including the Great Buddha. Certainly if a divine location has to be chosen for that on the planet it has to be the Himalayas as the highest mountain chain of the world and also the most conducive to life and beauty. Earth is not paradise but bits of paradise lie scattered across the bosom of Mother Earth and some of these are in these sacred mountains. In 1970, a youthful saint of around twenty, called Baba Hairakhan (also spelt Haidkhan) or Babaji lovingly by his disciples appeared in the Nainital District of Himalayas. He died in 1984 even as he had said while he lived that the body is meaningless and transient but the soul lives on. Through his public and early death, Baba Hairakhan also illustrated to his many disciples of Christian origin who had come to believe that Babaji would live forever in his present bo...

T he image on top of this page is one of Nainital town in the Himalayas. My childhood home in Nainital was just around the center of this image, a little to the right, now behind the clouds on the hill.  This was an area where most army families like ours stayed because it was close to the Military Cantonment. As a child of four or five, I loved to climb up to window height and look at colorful sail boats in the lake at the bottom of the hill.. On rainy days there were no boats but it was nice to look at  patterns rain water made on window panes. The same hill is shown in clouds in a Picture snapped a few years ago from the opposite hillside. I spent a lot of time in the spacious kitchen of our home, especially at times when mother was away to meet her friend by the name of Tunnu next door. My elder brother Deepak and sister Kiran were often off to play or school which they went to daily on horseback, fighting daily as to who shall sit in front on the saddle....

Just now though, there is a little time to sit down over a cup of coffee, to worry about so many things humans have to worry about every day of their lives, to deal with their fears and to make plans to escape them, plans against numerous problems that arise in a life. Soon he must dress up and rush for work. The work shall be weary, that daily grind, but it will serve to distract from worries, fears and insecurities for a while. But today he is greeted by Babaji, “Son you are worrying about so many things! Are you forgetting the most important one? Soon these weary days shall come to an end, suddenly, unexpectedly; while your flesh and bones returns to the earth from whence it arose, your soul shall escape. It shall look down at your body an...
