Baba Hari Dass

Born near Almora, India in 1923 Babaji left home at the tender age of eight to begin his study and practice. Before coming to the USA in 1971 at the request of several young students, he completed the traditional vows of a Vairāgī Vaiṣṇava (renunciate in the philosophical tradition of qualified non-dualism). It is from this classical grounding that Babaji taught ancient scriptures of Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, Bhagavadgītā, and Sāṁkhya Kārikā as well as the philosophy and practices of Aṣṭāṅga Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jñāna Yoga, and Tantra Yoga.
