A beautiful, elegantly designed, spacious pillared temple dedicated to Adinath Sri Guru Babaji was sanctified by Spiritual Master Sri M today within the precincts of his Madanapalle Ashram, set deep within the verdant grasslands of rural Andhra Pradesh.
Formally inaugurated by Honorable Minister of Road, Transport and Highways, Sri Nitin Gadkari, the temple was declared open to the public after Sri M conducted a moving Prana Pratishtha ceremony of the serene image of Babaji sitting within a rough-hewn rock cave in deep contemplation.
Sri Guru Babaji, also known as Mahavatar Babaji, is considered a manifestation of the Supreme Being by the Nath Sampradaya, whose chief disciple, Sri Maheshwarnath Babaji, was Sri M’s Guru. He is revered by many across faiths as a great Yogi who has taught Kriya Yoga as one of the paths to attain Moksha or liberation in these difficult times.
Padma Bhushan Sri M, himself a realized Yogi, travels and teaches across the globe, also imparting Kriya Yoga to aspirants. At 4,000 square feet, the temple built by Sri M is the first-of-its kind, largest place of worship dedicated to Sri Guru Babaji anywhere in the world.
Speaking on the occasion, Sri M said, “This Babajis temple is open to all irrespective of caste creed or religion, Babaji who is in your heart, is the same whose Prana Prathishta is done here today. Hari Om Tat Sat.”
Amidst melodious chants of the Lalita Trishati and the Sama Veda, the Prana Pratishtha of both a Sri Yantra and Babaji’s image concluded with the blowing of conches, nadaswaram, and the damru. Fireworks lit the sky in rejoicing as the temple welcomed people from all denominations to move ahead on the spiritual path with deep introspection and quiet contemplation.
The ceremony was attended by over 2,000 devotees from across India and abroad participated in the event, including the distinguished presence of Justice (retd) Sunil Shukre, the local MLA, the District Collector, and the Additional District Collector. The ceremony concluded with a community lunch (Annadanam) and the distribution of Prasad.
The temple at Sri M’s Ashram is now open to visitors of all faiths, offering a sacred space for meditation, contemplation, and spiritual enrichment.
About Sri M
At the age of nineteen, irresistibly drawn to the snow-clad Himalayas, Sri M embarked on his journey to seek a true Master. Maheshwarnath Babaji, a senior disciple of Sri Guru Babaji, took Sri M under his tutelage and initiated him into the Nath tradition. For three and half years, Sri M lived and travelled extensively through the Himalayas with him. What he learnt from Maheshwarnath Babaji transformed his consciousness.
As instructed by his Guru, Sri M returned to the plains and led a quiet, working family life while preparing to teach all that he had learnt and experienced. A few years after his Master’s passing, Sri M received the signal to commence his teaching mission.
Sri M established The Satsang Foundation over twenty years ago, as a meeting point for spiritual seekers of all persuasions. Conversant with the teachings of most major religions, Sri M’s teachings seek to transcend the outer-shell of all religions by exploring the core and nurturing the innate goodness in every human being. In his words: “Go to the core. Theories are of no use.”
