to 
“an artist to draw, for this book, a true picture of the Yogi-Christ of modern India.” 

This section of the chapter is about Swami Yogananda's initial reluctance and his intense prayer for divine assurance, which culminated in a visit from Mahavatar Babaji. We analysed the significance of Babaji's appearance, his personal instructions, and the prophecy that Kriya Yoga would spread worldwide. The conversation also touched on themes of materialism in the West versus India, the nature of divine communication, and the emotional impact of Yogananda's experiences. We also speculated about the secret prophecies Babaji shared and the meaning behind his benediction.
