Hazrat Babajan (c. late 1700s - September 18, 1931) was considered to be a perfect master or sadguru. She lived in Pune, India during the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries.

Babajan was born Gool Rukh (which means "like a rose") to a royal Muslim family of Baluchistan in northern India (now Pakistan), apparently between 1790 and 1800. At the age of 18 she fled her arranged marriage and sought God instead. At the age of 37 she received God-realization in Punjab, India from an Islamic Qutub, Maula Shah.

Hazrat Babajan died on September 18, 1931 at an age estimated by some between 130 and 141. There is still a shrine for her in Pune, surrounding the neem tree under which she made her street home.

According to Meher Baba Hazrat Babajan gave him God-realization through a kiss on the forehead, after which he experienced being in bliss for nine months without sleep or food until he was "brought down" to normal consciousness by Upasni Maharaj.
