I am sorry I can't understand this particular indian language. Can some one translate ?

He is known to be immortal - never aging. Many contemporary gurus have been intiated by him in to kriya yoga (the act of humanity service), it seems. He is the reward of many seekers in the himalayas.

Did Jesus see him too in the himalayas? Hmm...my intuition says he may have.

I request you not to repeat word like this.
One thing i want to quote i am not a disciple of Lahiri baba so i am not saying all this because he is my Guru.

Shyama Charan Lahiri, best known as Lahiri Mahasaya (September 30, 1828 - September 26, 1895), was an Indian yogi and a disciple of Mahavatar Babaji. He revived the yogic science of Kriya Yoga when he learned it from Mahavatar Babaji in 1861. Lahiri Mahasaya was also the guru of Sri Yukteswar Giri. Mahasaya is a Sanskrit word meaning 'great soul'.

He was unusual among Indian holy men in that he was a householder — marrying, raising a family, and working as an accountant for the Military Engineering Department of the English government. Lahiri lived with his family in Varanasi rather than in a temple or monastery. He achieved a substantial reputation among 19th century Hindu religionists.

He became well known in the west through Paramahansa Yogananda, a disciple of Sri Yukteswar Giri, and through Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi. Yogananda wrote that Lahiri was chosen by Mahavatar Babaji to reintroduce the lost practice of Kriya Yoga to the world. Lahiri's disciples included both of Yogananda's parents as well as Yogananda's own guru. Lahiri Mahasaya prophesied that the infant Yogananda would become a yogi, and "carry many souls to God’s kingdom".[

That proves he is greater

You are right we must not compare two earth people.

But that guy is so myterious - i am not even sure if he incarnated here on planet earth long ago.

Anyhow please do not get offended. I think some people here realized what i had in mind. That was my aim.

The language in the video is Tamil, my native toungue Malayalam is derived from Tamil, so it is easier for me to understand.

The main charcter is a famous movie star called Rajnikanth (in black shirt)

Here is the transalation for the talks on that video:

Rajnikanth: Where is this place? Where are you people going to?

People: This is The Himalayas, we are Rishis (sages)

Ranjnikanth: But why are going this way?

People: We are going to meet Mahavatar Babaji.

**music**

Ranjnikanth: Are you Mahavatar Babaji?

Babaji: Yes

Ranjnikanth: You are more than 2000 years of age, and you have initiated Kriya Yoga to Adi Shankara, Jesus and was a Guru for Kabirdas, and lot of other Gurus, is this all true?

Babaji: Yes

Ranjnikanth: So that means, you are God?

Babaji: All of God's creation are God!

Ranjnikanth: Everything is God? Everyone are God? So, even I am God?

Babaji: I am aware that I am God, but you are not aware that you are God.

Ranjnikanth: Once I become aware, then?

Babaji: You won't have limitation of the body or mind, and once you rise above wishes and fear, you become God too!

Ranjnikanth: I don't have wishes or fear, so am I not God today?

**some visualizations follows**

Ranjnikanth: I want to go from here now, right now. How do I go?

**The Yogini (the lady Yogi) rises, and walks to the main character**

Yogini: I will advise a Mantra to you, once you chant that Mantra, and ask for anything, it will materialize. You have to recite the Mantra 7 times.

Ranjnikanth: You mean, I will get anything that I ask for?

Yogini: Yes. But you will have to overcome your urge to eat meat and alcohol.

Ranjnikanth: How do you know that? (that he consumes meat and alcohol)

Yogini: Do not eat meat, do not drink alcohol.

Ranjnikanth: No, that is not possible, without alcohol and meat, I can't survive.

Babaji: Wishes, Greed, Urges.....

Yogini: If you consume meat and alcohol, the Mantra will not be effective!

Rajnikanth: Now that sounds sensible.

Yogini: Now you have to take a shower

Rajnikanth: Where do I take a bath here?

**rains**

Yogini: Do not share this Mantra with anyone else. Once you recite it 7 times, and get what you want, you will automatically forget this Mantra. Now you can go.

Rajnikanth: Sorry, this is not a railway station or bus station or a taxi stand for me to go just like that, tell me how can I go back?

Yogini: The sage Divyananda Bharati will show you the way?

Rajnikanth: Oh is his name Divyananda Bharati?

Babaji: Shubhamasti

**Rajnikanth leaves**

Sage: Gurudev, did you give him a Boon or a Curse?

I often wonder why we have bodies in the first place though? What brings us here?

It's funny how we try to imagine the unimaginable.
