S.Dubyanskiy, Kriya Yoga Master, Author and Artist
Born in Moscow, Russia. For many years lived in India, studied various areas of Vedic and Buddhist philosophy, and did research on esoteric schools and traditions.

Almost for ten years was the translator of the greatest spiritual Guru and philosopher of our time Sathya Sai Baba during the interviews wiht Russian groups. The years spent next to the divine Master formed the basis of a series of books and videos.

Completed meditation training (the Kriya Yoga and the Mantra Yoga) under the guidance of a wonderful Indian mystic Yogi Ramaiah (1923 – 2006). Yogi Ramaiah was a direct disciple of the immortal Himalayan Mahatma known as Mahavatara Babaji.
Mahavatara Babaji is the greatest mystery. Everything we know about him is just assumptions and peculations, which are the fruits of fragmentary information, imperfect intuition and limited logic.

Babaji remains inaccessible and mysterious, despite numerous attempts to fully understand his mission on the Earth and to learn as much as possible about his life. Those who claim to know everything or almost everything about him are deeply mistaken and self-deceived.

One of my favorite books on self-development and esotericism, which I have read and reread for many years, is “Autobiography of a Yogi” by the outstanding Indian spiritual Guru Paramahamsa Yogananda. He wrote his autobiography as a fascinating novel. Behind the beautiful style, unusual plot and vivid descriptions of amazing events, there is hidden in-depth information about Mahavatara Babaji and other Gurus of the Kriya Yoga tradition. Yogananda wrote his autobiography in 1946, the history of his life and numerous stories about prominent spiritual teachers, including some stories about the legendary Babaji.

For the first time in the history of mankind, it was precisely in his autobiography that Yogananda openly revealed the existence of Mahavatara Babaji. Today it is difficult to imagine that before the publication of “Autobiography of a Yogi”, only a small group of advanced yogis knew about the existence of Babaji.

In his autobiography, Yogananda mentioned his meeting with Mahavatara Babaji, he also said that several other yogis of the Kriya Yoga tradition also personally met Babaji. Thus, information about Mahavatara Babaji is not just personal experience or fantasies of Yogananda, but serious and objective information.
I
t was Yogananda in 1946 that declared the existence of Mahavatara Babaji, but in his book he gave rather scarce information about the immortal Guru. At that time, even the very mentioning of the great Babaji was a real spiritual revolution. As soon as Yogananda first spoke about the existence of Mahavatara Babaji, this information instantly aroused great interest among spiritual seekers and esotericists. Babaji immediately began to attract people's attention. Even knowing very little about him, people began to feel the enormous significance of this mysterious Guru.
