My first experience of Babaji . Part I It is not easy to talk about Babaji - the embodiment of Truth in the world, Divine Love which gives what is necessary to every soul. Simplicity that borders on pure essence. In 1976, Babaji completely changed my life,He called me to Him. He has been a clear mirror in which I was able to see His true, deepest essence. He asked me to create an ashram in Cisternino, that give meaning to every moment of my l...ife. Bhole Baba KI JAY! Before meeting with Babaji, I visited India and Afghanistan. I tried to find a Guru, I was looking for the truth and love of life. I do not feel a connection with the internal desire of most people to the spiritual teachers and traditional faith. I perceive God as Master of my life and believe in cosmic justice that unites all human beings into a single Universal Organism. Perhaps for this very reason that my first meeting with Babaji in Jaipur was absolute: I knew Him, I saw in Him all Ive ever looked for. I realized that He had called me, because I was inwardly ready for a new life, and my life would have turned into a life-service. All my previous life was a preparation for a meeting with Babaji - Guru of all gurus. And it was a great gift. I met Babaji 12th March 1976 in Jaipur, in the house of Jane Sahib. I arrived there in the afternoon. There was an atmosphere of incredible devotion. It reminded me of what it may have been like in Jesus time,when students were preparing to meet the Master: inner peace, filled with pure love and reverence. Babaji came by car. I saw Him coming out of it and going to the house. He walked as if not touching the ground. He sat on the flower-decked place prepared for Him in front of a crowd of devotees, who immediately began to worship at His feet: offering Him gifts and sweets, and asking for His blessings. I approached Him and said: - Babaji, I am Lisetta. He replied Your name is Janki Rani, then He added:- You can sit here. He asked me to bring a chair and told me to sit down next to Him. I was in ecstasy. I looked at Babaji and saw Him. I recognized Him. I looked at the devotees and for the happiness they experienced near Babaji, in their simple and touching devotion. Babaji then said This woman came from Italy, as if this was an important event. He then asked people to touch my feet. This meeting with Babaji was incredible for me ... each touched my feet, and I thought, How is it possible to have this treatment, He gave me just five minutes ... Ten minutes later, He sent a grey-haired Hindu to me,he said Babaji says you have to tell me something that will bring me closer to God. I said the first thing that popped into my head: God is Love. The old Indian came back to Babaji and gave Him these words, then again he came up to me and said, Babaji is happy. Babaji gave me a piece of fruit, then one of the devotees, Malti, came to me: Babaji says you should say something to the people. I was in ecstasy. I looked at the people who came to Babaji - they were Indians, and they were happy that live in India, because they can speak with Him, without having to travel from Italy like me. I saw Babaji as the true embodiment of the Divine. The atmosphere around Him was especially clean. I said, I am ready. I just could not pass on what I feel in my heart: the joy to be here and to find something that I always wanted.At the end of my speech, Babaji saidI thank you. The first time I was with Babaji twenty-five days - first in Jaipur, then - in Wari. It was an amazing the period during which Babaji taught me a lot and gave a lot of love. His every gesture has a special meaning. His smile, His eyes penetrated directly to the heart. The 15th of March 76, we heard the first indication of the Mahakranti. Babaji smiled, as if to give us a silent understanding: Now I say all this in order that you may be inwardly prepared for it. You should cleanse yourselves spiritually to meet face to face any adversity and challenges with an open heart and courage. But each time when Babaji mentioned disasters, I have only heard the word liberation as if God had given a chance to remove all negativity, to come to the triumph of love, brotherhood and harmony in the new world of the Age of Aquarius. And now more than ever I feel that all this is Babaji - it is true that we must be prepared for the total transformation, covering the entire Earth. I feel it, that is our first duty; cleaning ourselves. Merger and acquisition with the Divine humanity in accordance with the teachings of Babaji. During the fourteen years Babaji was in a physical body, He showed us the correct way to change our hearts and our minds. He said that He would like to see a world where the lion and the lamb drink from the same source. We know that we are facing enormous difficulties, but no problem is too great, if faith is total. Twenty days later, Babaji asked me to go with Him on a new pilgrimage, but I told Him I need to go back to Italy. Why ?asked Babaji. Because I have an elderly mother who is waiting for me, and because I have to work. Go then. Ill always be with you. Im going to Italy with you. From then on, Babaji has never left me. part II tomorrow. (Photo of Shri Babaji taken by Janki Rani in Jaipur in 1976.)
