Here a short piece that Swami said last year on the occasion of Babaji’s Day:
[Pritala is answering] Today we celebrate the decision of Mahavatar Babaji to stay on Earth.
You see, Babaji wanted to leave this planet. Then his sister interceded, and said: “It doesn’t make any difference for you whether you are there or here. So why don’t you stay?”.
Actually it’s on this day, 1800 years ago - plus some years - that he chose to live and immortalized himself here in this world. So that’s what we are commemorating today. It’s like a renewal that he will always be here to help humanity whenever it’s needed. So it’s time now for the changes to happen. It’s time that humanity calls upon him and receives his help. Whether humanity calls him or not, he will help. But it’s a nice gesture from us to do so."
