  Tibetan Foundation - Biography and Lineage of Babaji
The story of how Babaji had to wait until Lahiri Mahasaya was in his thirties before he could return to him and how Babaji was instrumental in helping Lahiri to awaken and recapitulate his previous lives as a great yogi and one of Babaji’s disciples is recounted at length in Autobiography of a Yogi.
The similarity is so striking that, in his later years, Lahiri Mahasaya might have passed as the father of the youthful-looking Babaji.
Lahiri Mahasaya received it from his guru, Babaji, who rediscovered and clarified the technique after it had been lost in the Dark Ages.

 Lahiri Mahasaya Information
Lahiri was said to have been chosen by his semi-legendary guru to reintroduce the lost practise of Kriya Yoga to the phenomenal world.
Lahiri's central spiritual practice, which he taught to his disciples, was Kriya Yoga, a series of inner pranayama practices that quickly hasten the spiritual growth of the practitioner.
Lahiri also taught that if one is earning an honest living and practicing honesty in all his or her dealings, then one need not alter one's external life in any significant way in order to become aware of God's presence in one's own daily life.
