Darshan of Tat Wale Baba - A tribute (rare footages plus discourse)

I made this amateur video a few years ago with a video freeware, sampling different images, mostly from an excerpt from the one and only documentary film on Tat Wale Baba (made by an italian director whose name is unhappily unknown to me) and sequences provided by Dr Ram Kumar whom I thank, plus other licence free resources, included a discourse of Tat Wale Baba at Mahesh Yogi Ashram. The excerpt of the itialian documentary can be seen here in YouTube: https://youtu.be/XjtWAgq1zi0

The mantra "mukto'ham" is a loop I made from a mantra session recorded live in Ellora Caves by C. Hinze.

Tat Wale Baba was born in July 24, 1890 in Punjab, India. He seems to be around 40 years old in the video, but is actually 82. Babaji entered Mahāsamādhi in 1974, but as he once said to a spiritual aspirant:

« That which is unborn, eternal, we can't talk about it in terms of time. In terms of time the Self can't be talked. »

Tat Wale Baba was famous in Hrishikesh and all over India. He was known as the “naked saint” or “the wise man of the mountains”. Tat Wale was a nickname meaning “one who wears jute”. Baba means “father”.

As an eremitic sage, he gave regular audiences to visitors for a short time but rarely left his humble Ashram. Spiritual aspirants came to get advices or simply meditate in his presence and get his blessing. Even today, many pilgrims visit his cave.

When he was still a brahmacārī full-time involved in the practive of rāja yoga, my Guru Pūjya Śrī Svāmī Yogānanda Sarasvatī spent times with Babaji in Hrishikesh in 1969.
