Yogananda’s Sanskrit tutor was a disciple of Babaji who had spent time with the master in the Himalayas. He said of Babaji, “The peerless master moves with his group from place to place in the mountains.... Babaji can be seen or recognized by others only when he so desires. He is known to have appeared in many slightly different forms to various devotees—sometimes with beard and moustache and sometimes without them. His undecayable body requires no food; the master, therefore, seldom eats.”<ref>Ibid., pp. 348–49.</ref>
