As far as I know, Haidakhan Babaji himself never once claimed to be Mahavatar Babaji who initiated Lahiri Mahasaya into Kriya Yoga in 1861. They were many people at that time who loved to believe the Haidakhan Babaji is the same person as Mahavatar Babaji. But Marshall Govindan puts an end to this error in belief in his website. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 14:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I feel that it is imperative for this article to have a photo or a picture of the subject. The reason is obvious; Readers then could judge for themselves whether the drawing of Mahavatar Babaji and Haidakhan Babaji represent the same person. Any comments? -- S iva1979 Talk to me 02:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
There are three distinct articles about three distinct Babajis. Please do not continue the dubious practice of intentionally attempting to confuse them. The articles and their subjects are as follows:
Thank you - these are biographies, not mythologies. Start your own article on Babaji mythology if you like. - Hanuman Das 21:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Dubious practice is performed here only by you, my dear Hanuman Das. You claim these 3 articles are biographies and yet you completely disregard even the slightest thought of looking into biography of Haidakhan Babaji (the one you speculate that died in 1984). There are several really good books (about experiences with Him, not mere beliefs) out there on the subject, which you don't seem to acknowledge. Why is that?
Please, do not misunderstand me, I respect your effort here, but it is obvious that you are not being objective (and, to me, you act like you own this place - which you don't). Why not present all relevant info on Mahavatar Babaji by not preferring only one idea about him? Hmm.
Why not present info of those people that have actually been blessed by Mahavatar Babaji, directly, in person? Is speculation, based on certain books, really sincere effort to present Mahavatar Babaji and His teachings? Is this the best service we can offer to Mahavatar Babaji and people at large? Hmm.
And, while we are on the subject, have you even met Mahavatar Babaji, Haidakhan Babaji or Hairakhan Babaji in person? - Nitya72 10:33, 7 June 2006 (GTM+2)

It is more clear to me now how things work here at Wikipadia. You "own" your article, so I guess I am sorry I have csused any troubles to you.
Good bye and Namaste, Hanuman das.
Dear Hanuman Das,
thank you for your reply. Please, forgive me again for wasting your time.
I wish you God speed
namaste

This page if anything, needs a section that reports any criticism Babaji faced by other Hindu mystics. Was he deemed a fraud? Who believed him and why? Who didn't and why?
That would help add to the objectivity of this article immensely. Orthodoxyordeath ( talk) 17:08, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
You may be right, Orthodoxyordeath, but I am personally not aware of these critical opinions. With the exception, perhaps, that Yogananda's Self-Realization Fellowship does not accept Haidakhan Babaji as manifestation of Mahavatar Babaji, which is already mentioned in the article. Was your "critical method" applied to the Saints of the Holy Mountain? If so, I would appreciate if you could point out a specific article. I would like to see how it is done, and perhaps apply it to this article as well.
