Many years ago, shortly before the Meditation Retreat gardens were created, a small group of people had just attended a sacred Kriya Initiation in the Temple of Silence. As they left the temple, they saw Mahavatar Babaji meditating on a small hill above an underground room now called the Babaji Cave. He was overlooking the spot where we’d been planning to site a garden pool. The pool has since been named the “Babaji Pool,” dedicated to that saint whom Yogananda wrote about in Autobiography of a Yogi.
