The lord Shada Shiva
Aghor began with the existence of life in this earth. Aghor is an ancient spiritual discipline and has been practiced ever since the early days of the vedic era. It has been present at all the times. The OMKARA (AUM), the primordial sound is broken into three parts A, U and M. The first letter of the Hindu scriptures is composed of A-kara, the Creator/Initiator Brahma, U-kara, the Sustainer/Protector Vishnu and M-kara the Destroyer/Terminator Maheswara.
AUM or OM is an essential sound. With every breath our lungs resonate the Omkara. So-hum...So-hum... I am the world, I am the universe, I am Lord Shiva, I am Lord Vishnu and I am Lord Brahma. We are always chanting this mantra, even when we are walking, talking, eating or sleeping. The So-hum remains eternal. All living creatures, including the animals also, resonate this AUM in their body.
There is presence of Aghor state in each and every living creature in this universe. It has to be understood that the aghor is not a tantric tradition and their sadhana does not depend on tantric activities. The very name of Aghor is a mantra which is above all other mantras. There is nothing higher to be known than the real nature of the Guru.
In the past, the word aghor implied something mysterious. Slowly, over centuries, its meaning came to include methods and practices used by sadhus to overcome their limitations. Aghor is also the state of Shivattwa and Aughar is an embodiment of Shiva, who himself is the originator of Tantra. After the prehistoric association of aghor with the Lord Shiva, another legendary Aghor, Lord Dattatraya came into existence. He not only realized the state of Aghor but also propounded and taught, the knowledge of Aghor to the others. Many other saints and mahatmas who embodied this aghor state arose at their destined times in the history, while at other times the lineage became dormant, like the embers hidden under the ashes.
Eventually the methods and means to achieve this aghor state began to be communicated in the form of “Guru-Shishya” relationships. However, the practices continued to be little known even within the Hindu culture.
Shiva is worshipped as the Ultimate or the Supreme Being। Shiva is not complete without Shakti (spiritual power). Aghor is Madhya-Marga (middle path) which represents the union of Shiva and Shakti. Aughars apply Shiva's ashes on their body, carry a trishul or a trident, in hand, grow beard and moustache on their face, put a garland around the neck and roam the cremation or the burial grounds like the goddess Kali. An aghor is Shiva by appearance and Kali by activities.

Avadhoot Guru Dattatraya
Avadhoot Guru Dattatraya was the son of Sati Anusuya and the sage Atri. Lord Dattatraya realized the state of Aghor, and propounded and taught the knowledge of Aghor to the others. Many saints and mahatmas, who embodied this aghor state arose at their destined times in the history, while at other times, the lineage became dormant, like the embers hidden under the ashes.
Eventually the methods and means to achieve this aghor state began to be communicated in the form of “Guru-Shishya Tradition” relationships. However, the practices continued to be little known even within the Hindu culture.
Their life was for the service of the mankind. The Lord's three heads represent Brahma Tatwa, (creative energy), Vishnu Tatwa (sustaining energy) and Shiva Tatwa (destructive energy). Primordial Guru Dattatraya took this name and form so that he may perform the role of the Warning Guru to the 16 th century Aghori incarnation, Lord Sadashiva Baba Kinaram.
Baba Kinaram, around 16 th century, had to take the human form in this earth to save it from the calamities of human disasters and give direction to the people towards the path of truth. Baba Kaluramji (Guru Dattatraya) reminded Baba Kinaram about the mother Goddess Hinglaaj who both met at mount Girnar in Gujarat in India. His holiness effected this by being physically present at the mountain and by bestowing divine vision to Baba Kinaram. Guru Dattatraya was the major influence on Baba Kinaram's life. Today also it is possible to get his darshan by having faith and devotion.
Baba Kaluram (Guru Dattatraya) used his spiritual powers to make human skulls active and was feeding them chana, at Harischandra Ghat in Kashi in India, when Baba Kinaram visited him. On seeing Baba Kinaram, Baba Kaluram asked him to satisfy his hunger. Baba Kinaram used his powers to make three large fish jump out of the river Ganga and land into a pyre and cooked the fish. Bijaramji prepared the Prasad for them by offering it to Goddess Shakti first.
Baba Kaluram then pointed towards a corpse floating in the river Ganga. Baba Kinaram understood and using his spiritual powers brought the corpse to life and ordered it out of the river. This corpse, after coming to life, later became famous as the disciple Ramjiyavanram. These four great Aghors, Baba Kaluramji, Baba Kinaramji, Baba Bijaramji and Baba Ramjiyavanram came to the cave shrine of the goddess Hingalaaj, and they lit the akhand dhuni from a half-burnt funeral pyre. Devotees began to swarm the place.
After sometime Baba Kaluram (Guru Dattatraya) merged himself into Baba Kinaram in the form of smoke. Then he quit the human form and took Samadhi there. A beautiful pond was formed at his Samadhi which is present now also and is known as the Krim Kund. Baba Kaluram`s charan paduka (sandals) are still present there and being worshipped regularly even now.
His holiness Avadhoot Dattatraya is the first guru of this Aghor Guru-based tradition. Aghoris have a lineage of aspirants and disciples. Aughars don't give importance to epics or scripture. For them the instructions of guru are most important because they believe that the Guru's spoken words are Mantras or Veda at the time. Aghor disciples, through close proximity of his Guru and with complete devotion and faith, automatically inherits the attributes and traits of this family and become just like his Guru. After Lord Shiva another legendary saint mentioned in the scriptures is Lord Dattatraya. A temple is dedicated to Guru Dattatreya, a god with three heads, in the Bhaktapur (Nepal) and has been worshipped from the ancient time till now. Even today in all auspicious occasions, like “Shivaratri”, mass of people visit the temple for the दर्शन

Aghoracharya Maharaj Kinaram
Aghoracharya Maharaj Kinaram was born on Aghor Chaturdashi (Bhadrapad) in 1658 A.D in Ramgarh village Varanasi district. The entire region became overjoyed when the childless couple Shree Akbar Singh and Niyamansa Devi finally got their child.
After the birth this baby neither cried nor suckled at his mother's breast for three days. Then three monks (Sadhus), who were in reality the three manifestations of lord Sadashiva (Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh) came there and they took the baby into their arms. They whispered something into his ears and that amazing baby began to cry. It is from this day onwards that the Lolark Shashthi festival (birthday of Shree Maharaja) began to be celebrated with great joy and ceremony.
Goddess Hingalaaj blessed Baba Kinaram in Girnar and followed him to the Kring Kunda in Varanasi. Baba Kinaram is the founding father of the ancient Aghor seat of Varanasi. Hinglaaj Ma is present in yantra form which is the representation of deity in mystical geometric pattern. Baba Kaluramji awakened the consciousness of aghor in Baba Kinaram in his Guru form. Later on he established himself in the city for the service of the people and rekindled the ancient wisdom amongst them. He has mentioned principles of aghor in his books Viveksar, Ramgita, Ramrasal and Unmuniram. The book called Viveksar written by Baba Kinaram is said to be the most authentic treatise on the principles of aghor .
During his tour Aghoracharya Kinaram Baba first halted at the residence of a “Grihast Saint”, Baba Shiva Das as a young boy. He stayed in the hut of Baba Shiva Das for few days and observed him closely. Baba Shiva Das was impressed by the child's extraordinary qualities and suspected that he was an Avtaar or a reincarnation. One day while on way to bathe in Ganga, Baba Shiva Das handed over his entire baggage to the boy Kinaram and hid himself in the nearby bushes. He observed that the river Ganga became very restless as the boy Kinaram approached it. The river level rose higher and settled down only after touching the boy's feet.
Moving ahead in his tour, he reached a village Karon. There he saw an old widow badly wailing and weeping. Kina Ram Babaji went to her and enquired about the cause of her anguish. She told him that the village Jamindar, landlord, in order to realize the remaining part of the revenue, had ordered his hoodlums to catch and tie down her only son ‘Vijaya' and then beat him down in the scorching heat. He immediately went to the jamindar and requested him to shun his cruelty in the name of humanity, but the landlord demanded his revenue in full. The baba then commanded him to dig the earth where he was standing and take the revenue from the wealth kept therein. The jamindar, out of anger started digging the earth by the heels of his shoes and to his wonder found a vessel full of wealth underneath. On seeing the wealth the jamindar fell down upon the feet of the Baba Kina Ram and released the boy Vijay. This boy remained in the company of Baba Kina Ram and in due time became the famous Bija Ram Baba. He later on succeeded Aghoracharya Maharaja Kinaram on the seat of Kring Kunda.
Taking Bija Ram along with him, Kinaram Baba continued his tour and reached Juna Garh. There he sent Bija Ram to collect alms from the people, but the Nawab of Juna Garh was very strict against begging. Once arrested the beggars were sent to the jail. Bija Ram was also arrested and sent to the jail. When it became too late and Bija Ram didn't return, the Baba meditated and found out the reason of the delay.
Babaji learnt that the Nawab had no children. Maharaja Shree Babaji thought out a plan and went out begging himself. He too was arrested and sent to the jail. In the jail, everyone had to grind the grain with the grind stones. He forbade the saints to stop grinding and he gently knobbed all the stones by his stick and said, “chal chal re chakki”. As a result all the grindstones started working on their own and grounded the grain. Soon the news reached the Nawab and he came running to the jail and saw the miracle himself.
He asked for pardon from Babaji and persuaded him to grace his fort by going there. He agreed and went with him. He was formally received at a grand reception organized by the Nawab. He then presented valuable gems to him. The Baba took a gem and put it in his mouth but then spit it out saying that it had no taste. He asked the Nawab to make sure that the beggars would be supplied with two and a half paav aata and salt without any cost. All the saints were freed from the jail and soon the Nawab was blessed with a son.
Once Maharaj Kina Ram Babaji, rode a donkey along with a cat, and reached Darbhanga a small town in Bihar. There the “Brahmins” were in a big majority and they were mostly “tantrik.” He told the Brahmins that since the backward classes liked to eat meat and fish hence if they shunned their aversion for these, the conversions to other religions will stop and the number of Hindus would not be depleted. Kinaram also explained to the Maithil Brahmins that due to their hatred for all the lower and the schedule castes they have been attracted by the other religions.
So if the lower castes were given a place in their hearts then they wouldn't feel neglected from the Hindu religion. In return they will give you love and respect and at same time will safe guard the society as well. The Maithils retorted that if he exhibited some extra-ordinary power, only then they would obey him. They challenged him to rejuvenate a dead elephant. Maharaj Shree Baba put the cat on the elephant and ordered his donkey to spur it. After sometime the cat disappeared and the elephant stood up. Seeing this wonder, the Maithils Brahmins began to eat meat and fish and their aversion for these disappeared.
It was the time of Mughal expansion when Hindus were forced to become Muslims. At that time Maharaj Shree Baba reached Kohleen city. This city was twice destroyed by Musalmans and Pindaris jointly. It was badly mauled, looted and burnt. Many left the city for other places. The old, the sick, the children and the women were dying of hunger. Maharaj Shree Babajee dedicated himself to ameliorate their suffering. He arranged for food and shelter, and rekindled hope and faith in them to be healthy. He departed from the place after assuring the people of his presence whenever they needed him in their suffering.
Once when Maharaj Shree was in Surat he heard that the inhabitants of the city were about to kill a young widow along with her newly born child by tying down their bodies and throwing them into the sea. Maharaj Shree Babaji forbade them from the act. He tried to teach them that the widows are to be respected in the society and they are to be treated with kindness and compassion. He also said that they have to be encouraged to live a simple life and if possible should be allowed to marry again. But the people said that this woman was corrupt. Maharaj Shree Babajee then said that they should also catch hold of the father of this illegitimate child, tie him down with them and throw them into the sea. “If you say I can pick him up; he is one of you and he is here”, said the Baba Shree.
All of them, walked away with heads bent with shame. Maharaj Shree Babaji ordered her to live on the Samadhi of Nar Singh. Later on a tornado destroyed the Surat city. Since then the people began to fear even the name of Maharaj Shree Kinaram Babaji.
Once there was a big feast organized by Baba Lota Das in Varanasi and all the saints and mahatamas were invited for the auspicious occasion. Maharaj Kinaram Babajee had helped the Baba Lota Das many times but he forgot to send him the invitation. Without the invitation also the Maharaj Kinaram Babajee reached the place and sat quietly in one place. The vegetarian food was being served but in the plates the alive fish started to move around and the water started to smell like alcohol.
Some people noticed Maharaj Kinaram Baba and told the host Lota Das Babajee that he has to request Maharajjee first for the prasad. Baba Lotadas went to Maharaj Kinaram and bowing to him asked for his forgiveness. He requested him to eat his prashad and they started putting the puri (round bread deep fried in oil) and the curd in his vessel made of the human skull. They started putting the food in the vessel (Paatra) and it vanished every time. The stored food were getting less and less and nobody has eaten.
The host Baba again came running to him and admitted the mistake that how can he feed the one who can feed everybody in the universe. Then Maharaj told him that the food will be back in his store. The food was four times more than they had cooked. He then blessed Baba Lota Das.
The Maharajjee always loved the saints and his only intention was to keep peace and harmony between all monks (saints) whether they were vegetarians or non-vegetarians. There is an Aghor saying that the god is not bothered about your food habits. He is concerned with the purity of the soul. So after this incident the members of the Baba Lotadas place started to respect the Maharajjee as the Guru Maharaj and his disciple as their Guru-bhai (brother). They also started to keep the prashad (the food offered first to the diety before being to others) for the Guru Maharajjee every time they have a feast organized .
Maharaj Kinaram Babajee invited many of his disciples and bhaktas on September 21 st , 1771. Addressing them he said, ‘O! My dear ‘bhaktas', after I die, put this mortal body near the ‘yantra' of the Goddess Hingalaaj, and during the Samadhi take care that the body should be placed facing east. Who ever prays, taking rounds of the ‘yantra' of Hingalaaj Devi near my mortal remains, shall have all his desires fulfilled'. After this he enjoyed his ‘hookka'. Suddenly a terrible roar as if in an earthquake was heard and simultaneously a bright light like an electric flame was also seen. A bright light appeared to come out from his head and rocketed high in the sky where it finally disappeared amidst a levy of musical notes. Men, women, birds and animals were all sad and wept.
In response a voice came from the sky, “Don't be in anguish। I shall always be staying in one form or the other near the eternal Dhuni. Leave aside your attachment”. The first three hours of the morning had passed. Pipes were playing in the sky. Flowers were showered, the aroma of the lot of smelling flowers gave a strange sweetness to the surrounding atmosphere. Drenched in the nectar of flowers, the mortal body of Gurudeva Maharaj Shree Kinaram Babajee was being put in Samadhi within the ambit of the ‘yantra' of Hinglaj Devi. At the same time a voice came from the sky, “Dear bhaktas and my beloved ones, whenever you remember me, while being attacked by mortal or spiritual suffering of any kind, I shall always come to your help.”
Aghoracharya Maharaj Kinaram was born on Aghor Chaturdashi (Bhadrapad) in 1658 A.D in Ramgarh village Varanasi district. The entire region became overjoyed when the childless couple Shree Akbar Singh and Niyamansa Devi finally got their child.

Later on he established himself in the city for the service of the people and rekindled the ancient wisdom amongst them.

At the same time a voice came from the sky, “Dear bhaktas and my beloved ones, whenever you remember me, while being attacked by mortal or spiritual suffering of any kind, I shall always come to your help.”

Gurudev Kapaleshwar Singa Sawak Ram's Guru Shree Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram was one of the greatest souls took birth in this “Aghor Guru-Disciple” tradition. For the first time perhaps, spiritualism has been made applicable for the common men of the society in such a lucid way. The views may appear different from the orthodox ones, but they are significant, refreshing and enlightening to all. Aghor tradition in the simplest form is introduced to the society for the welfare of the human beings. There is no caste and creed in the ashrams based on the Aghoreshwar`s principles. He was born on September 21 , 1937 , in Gundi village of Bhojpur district of Bihar. He was born in a zamindar's (landlord's) family. Aghoreshwar was the only child of his parents mother Lakhraji Devi and father Baijnath Singh. Before his birth, the mother had a dream that the child she is going to give birth would not be an ordinary person.
After the completion of the nine months period he was born and as soon as he touched the earth he sat on his aasan and breathed fire from his mouth. Chamaran (the lady helper) ran away shouting that a demon has taken birth. At the same time his Grandma said, he must be the god and not the demon, so his father named him `Bhagwan' (God).
So Bhagwan is the name given by his father at the birth. His father passed away when he was just five years old. His grandmother and his mother looked after him. The tales, laced with morals and social values, narrated to Bhagwan by his grandmother during his early childhood left everlasting impression on his tender mind. Instead of going to school he used to gather children and perform prayers.
Noticing the child's spiritual inclination, the family members constructed a small temple in the village and he installed a 'Shivalinga' in it and started worshipping. Ever since then he devoted more and more time to prayers, chanting and meditation. The child, 'Bhagwan', left home at the age of seven. He began to travel on foot to various places of pilgrimage.
His first journey was to Gaya during the winter season, and since he had adopted the life of a mendicant, he had nothing to cover himself with during the night. Travelling during the day in this way was not very difficult, but his nights used to be cold and miserable. Baba would take shelter among the plants in arhar fields, and survive on whatever fruits or vegetables nature provided as food.
After spending time in Gaya visiting the temples, he left for Jagannathpuri on the east coast of India. Baba went into a state of ecstasy immediately on entering the temple, and while he was performing circumambulation of the deity with two paise clenched in his hands to buy food with, the temple priest hit him on the head and took the money away. But Bhagwan was not deterred. He spent some time at Jagannathpuri and returned back to his village.
Bhagwan had divine experiences while back at the village, and his wanderlust continued. At the age of fifteen he came to Banaras. He wandered on the banks of Ganges and Sonbhadra and in the valleys of Vindhya mountains performing strict penance.
He sought the way to the Kashi Vishwanath temple. As he stood on the road, uncertain of where to go, an old woman in a silk saree with a red border came to him and asked him where he wanted to go. When Bhagwan told her he wanted to go to the Kashi-Vishwanath temple she led him to the temple and had him perform the puja as he wanted to. The two then came out of the temple and started walking on the road.
The lady entered the temple of goddess Annapurna which, to young Bhagwan, looked like some prosperous person's house, and when the lady did not come out he left thinking that must be the lady's house. Young Bhagwan then walked towards the Dehri bridge but before he could reach it he saw the same lady standing there. She asked him again about his visit to Kashi and directed him to a monastery of God-realized seekers, the Kinaram Sthal, in the Ravindrapuri locality of Varanasi.
He took 'Aghor Diksha'(initiation) from Baba Rajeshwar Ram Jee (the 11th successor of Maharaj She ee Kinaramjee) at an early age. Baba spent many years in sadhana. He wandered as a sadhu from place to place, he undertook various practices until his self realization, while still in his early teens. After that time he turned his attention towards the society, particularly towards the poor and the suffering who sought him out wherever he went.
Many were relieved of their sufferings just by being in his presence. Words were not necessary. He would not take recognition for so called miracles, but the beneficiaries knew what really happened. His love for his fellow human beings was all encompassing. The devotees never had to express their feelings before Aghoreshwar. He would take no credit for the miracles. Baba roamed in every nook and corner of India. He visited Nepal, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Britain, America and Mexico. He directly contacted Aughar Siddhas(saints) and Siddha Peeths (holy places) and denounced various misgivings in society about the Aghor tradition owing to the erratic behaviour of some Aughar Sadhus (saints).
Like a true reformist, Aghoreshwar brought changes in the Aghori practices in tune with the modern times. He always challenged the myths and pomp and show associated with current religious, social customs and practices. "The Shastras (holy texts) have brainwashed you. Ignore them," Aghoreshwar would preach time and again.
The ashrams established by Aghoreshwar are not a burden to the society. The devotees labour themselves, produce crops and vegetables, which are more than sufficient to feed the inhabitants, devotees and visitors, and also gifted to well-wishers of Ashrams. "Unlike the temples of today, we do not sow seeds of conflict. We inspire people, irrespective of the religion, towards the common brotherhood and enlightenment," said the Aghoreshwar.
He established three institutions to enrich public life in the service of common man and develop mutual cooperation -- Baba Bhagwan Ram Trust (Registered under Trust Act on January 30, 1961), Shree Sarveshwari Samooh (Registered under Society Act on November 28, 1961) and Aghor Parishad Trust (Registered under Trust Act on March 26, 1985). In a nutshell He amalgamated Aghor sadhana with human service, which is practiced in the ashrams.
After rendering life long service to the destitute, depressed and the exploited people and lepers, Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram Jee took Maha-Nirvan on November 29, 1992 in Manhattan, New York, U S A.Singha Sawak Ram
Our Guru Aughad Mangaldhan Ram Baba's Guru Shree Kapal eshwar Singha Sawak Ram was born i n magh krishna ashtami 1 921 A.D. in Pathar, Janapad – Bhojpur, Bihar (maternal house) to maintain the spiritual equilibrium and to keep the humanity alive in this modern age of science. He was born in Ujjan Bansha kshatriya Rajbansha in the famous Bikramaditya`s lin e age . He was very intelligent, loveable, truthful, sincere and had the sense of love for justice. He had his primary education in Ayar (parental house) and high school education in Pathar (maternal house). He scored 1 st division in his high school examination. His intellectual father Shree Gopi Singh sent Gurudev to the famous Vidhya Sagar College, Calcutta University for his Graduation. During his study in Calcutta he had to face many educational and social problems which forced him to think about his country's situation in that young age. He had seen people suffering unnecessarily at the hands of the rulers at the time. This developed in him the strong feeling to serve the helpless, poor and innocent people.
After his graduation (B.Sc.) he took the job in “the Indian Railways”. On his job he saw how corrupt the department was. He then thought of giving justice to the workers and got his L.Lb from the Bombay University while still serving in the Indian Railways. Due to the mismanagement, rampant corruption and the unfair treatment he resigned from the railways his job and headed north towards the Himalayas.
During his Himalayan journey he travelled through Tibet, Sikkim, Bhutan, Gadhwal, Kumaun, Assam and Nepal. While travelling he had this list of questions with him; like who is the unknown ruler of our life? How are the creatures born? How did the earth, sun, planets etc originate? How did the humans come to this earth? What is the aim of the whole universe? How do the changes take place in universe? Why is the present creature getting weaker and weaker? Who is the real administrator of the whole natural phenomena? What is the similarity between the animals? At last he had the curiosity to discover the basis to find all the answers of the questions? He came across many great souls during his tour but couldn't get the answers to his questions. He then decided to return to his own village to carry on the social work.
In 1966 when the auspicious time came in his life “The Darshan of the Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram Babajee ” in Parao Ashram where he was praying in the peaceful Brahmanisthalaya . At this time he did not even know how and why he was praying there ? At that very moment he had special experience that his eyes were dull , heart was beat less and he felt nothing in his body . He was not in himself . He was enlightened , He had all the answers of his questions .He had the satisfaction for his longing thirst and couldn`t express his feeling in words.
After this he left all his past life and getting the “Diksha Mantra and Gyan (Lesson)”on 10 th of October 1966 A.D in the Parao ashram from the Guru Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ramjee.Then he was sent to “ Hariharpur Ashram” for 10 years Sadhana.He as a Aghor Sadak fulfilled all his spiritual duties and also gave the example of the social work to the people of Hariharpur.Once in Hariharpur ashram he made the room airtight and stayed for a week without eating and drinking this made Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram baba very restless and he sent the message telling that there are many work he has to perform so he should not do such thing so after,Guru`s instruction to leave the place and to make his own place he then again started his journey leaving the place immediately.
He then thought of giving people a systematic way of help and established “Aghor Sewa Mandal ” in 1977 A.D and the “Girnar Ashram” was also built there in Dildarnagar , Gazipur (Head Office). After this he started many more branches of the Aghor Sewa Mandal . Ashram Himalaya ki Godh,Campty (Masuree ) Uttarchal (last ashram) .Then Shree Guru Maharajjee for the fulfillment of the National education , he started the Primary education development programme.

He has visited France , Britain ,Canada and United States of America. His last visit was when Aghoreshwar Baba was in Newjersy . During his stay in abroad he had his spiritual talk to his devotees, followers and blessed them all .
After his Guru`s Samadhi (Aghoreshwar Baba) he stayed in India only but he had visited Nepal several times. His last visit to Nepal in 2001 A.D was after the Ashrams were built by his beloved disciple our Baba . He was very happy and satisfied from the social work started by our Ashram (Nepal) based on the Aghoreshwar teaching in the leadership of our Aughad Baba Mangal Dhan Ram . He blessed many devotees' families of our Ashram .

Although his human body is no more with us but he is always their to inspire us to perform the noble work for the welfare of all living बेंग.Aughad Baba Mangaldhan Ram
The ancient history of the sacred land, Tribeni, Balmiki Nagar has been the birth place of the great souls where the sages and saints did penance and austere practice. In this pious land(Nepal-India boarder area) our revered Guru Aughad Baba Mangaldhan Ram was born in Raghu bansi kuleen zamindar's (landlord’s) kshatriya family in 1978 A.D by the blessing of the Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram(An aghor ascetic Guru).His religious, compassionate, sincere and dutiful father and the pious affaciniate mother were the devotee of Aghoreshwar.They had the Initiation(Diksha) from the Kapaleshwar Guru Singha Sawak Ram(first disciple of Aghoreshwar). The parents of our Baba are the active member of their family and of the Ashram management.Our revered baba was borne aghori ascetic to the world. He had extraordinary character from his childhood. one pecular aspect of Baba was it has been very hard to sleep from his childhood days. He was fond of roaming around the cremation ground and had special interest and respect towards the sages, saints, temples, god and goddesses.He was fond of studying the relegious books and use to feel blissfulness alone. He had the special quality of the service to the unpreviledges people from his childhood which must be due to his parent’s attitudes towards the welfare of the society. His studies been carried out in the schools and colleges of Bihar and Utterpradesh.While he was in the degree college he had the last darshan and received blessings from Aghoreshwar. After this darshan he had divine inspiration of service to all living being and by sacrificing everything went to the Kapalashwar Guru Singha Sawak Ram where he received his ‘Aghor Diksha’(Initation)and surrendering himself to the Guru started his Aghor sadhana in his supervision. He has been instructed by his Guru Kapaleshwar to leave India and go to Nepal for the one year “Secrete Sadhana” ( Aghast baas) so; he came to the most popular ancient Guru of the Aghors Mahadev Pashupati, Kathmandu,Nepal in 1995 A.D. As instructed by Guru then he started his aghor sadhana in various crimination places starting from the Pashupati crimination ground. During his stay in Pashupati area he was living in a cave situated above the Suryaghat (north side of Pashupati temple the bank of holy river Baghmati).Where he was meditating, performing spiritual practice keeping the discipline of silence and none attachment to rest of the world. At this cave his reputation as the aghor saint with divinity but very simple, soft spoken well behaved began to grow and more seekers started to visit him. Many devotees had the curiosity to know our baba’s background. As the time passed on many people came to know that he was the aghor saint from the Guru-Disciple tradition of Aghoracharya Kinarami lingage which made people to flow to the cave in Suryaghat like Ganga river.They were their with their varieties of problems which would be sometimes solved without uttering words infront of him.Slowly he was in direct contact with the Nepali society and experienced the problems of each and every single person.The root of the problems of the society were unfaithfulness, jealousy, hatred, egoist, deceitfulness, blaming, pointing towards somebody’s character without any cause, gambling, alcoholic, drug addict and womaniser. So to eradicate all these problems some of the old educated people requested our Baba to establish an organisation which could work on the problems as mentioned above. Feeling the need of such organisation in Nepal he then established “Shree Parameshwari Sewa Kendra” in 1996 A.D.After the establishment of the organisation the “Guru Gaddi(Throne)” was established in Nepal by the blessings of Guru Kapaleshwar.While working in the society for some years Baba came to face many problems of women whom he always respected with the word ‘Ma’ from his very first cave.He felt essential of the woman organisation which could concentrate on women’s problems and give relief to them directly and to their offspring indirectly. So to face the women’s problems such as insult, ignored, tortured and even girl trafficking by their own family members, he thought of a special organisation only for women. By his kindness to the suffered women and the children he established the special organisation called “Shree Ma-Guru Nari Samooh” in 2002 A.D and the other “Aghor Gaddi” for the woman in first time of the history of Aghor Gaddi in the world. By the establishment of two thrones (Gaddi) one for the monk and one for the Kumari (unmarried girl).Our Baba gave the introduction of the Tatwa knowledge for the first time and spread the Aughad,Aghoreshwar’s tradition in Nepal where the aghori saint were only known to be the tantric practitioner.Our baba emphasized people to build good character and think the nationality the main religion where the spirituality comes as the individual religion which has to be practiced by each and every person alone. If anybody wants to know about the life of Baba then either the person has to be like him or they have to be blessed by him as we have a proverb that even the god and goddesses cannot know the behaviour of the saint as it is never the same.

Although his human body is no more with us but he is always their to inspire us to perform the noble work for the welfare of all living बेंग.Aughad Baba Mangaldhan Ram
The ancient history of the sacred land, Tribeni, Balmiki Nagar has been the birth place of the great souls where the sages and saints did penance and austere practice. In this pious land(Nepal-India boarder area) our revered Guru Aughad Baba Mangaldhan Ram was born in Raghu bansi kuleen zamindar's (landlord’s) kshatriya family in 1978 A.D by the blessing of the Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram(An aghor ascetic Guru).His religious, compassionate, sincere and dutiful father and the pious affaciniate mother were the devotee of Aghoreshwar.They had the Initiation(Diksha) from the Kapaleshwar Guru Singha Sawak Ram(first disciple of Aghoreshwar). The parents of our Baba are the active member of their family and of the Ashram management.Our revered baba was borne aghori ascetic to the world. He had extraordinary character from his childhood. one pecular aspect of Baba was it has been very hard to sleep from his childhood days. He was fond of roaming around the cremation ground and had special interest and respect towards the sages, saints, temples, god and goddesses.He was fond of studying the relegious books and use to feel blissfulness alone. He had the special quality of the service to the unpreviledges people from his childhood which must be due to his parent’s attitudes towards the welfare of the society. His studies been carried out in the schools and colleges of Bihar and Utterpradesh.While he was in the degree college he had the last darshan and received blessings from Aghoreshwar. After this darshan he had divine inspiration of service to all living being and by sacrificing everything went to the Kapalashwar Guru Singha Sawak Ram where he received his ‘Aghor Diksha’(Initation)and surrendering himself to the Guru started his Aghor sadhana in his supervision. He has been instructed by his Guru Kapaleshwar to leave India and go to Nepal for the one year “Secrete Sadhana” ( Aghast baas) so; he came to the most popular ancient Guru of the Aghors Mahadev Pashupati, Kathmandu,Nepal in 1995 A.D. As instructed by Guru then he started his aghor sadhana in various crimination places starting from the Pashupati crimination ground. During his stay in Pashupati area he was living in a cave situated above the Suryaghat (north side of Pashupati temple the bank of holy river Baghmati).Where he was meditating, performing spiritual practice keeping the discipline of silence and none attachment to rest of the world. At this cave his reputation as the aghor saint with divinity but very simple, soft spoken well behaved began to grow and more seekers started to visit him. Many devotees had the curiosity to know our baba’s background. As the time passed on many people came to know that he was the aghor saint from the Guru-Disciple tradition of Aghoracharya Kinarami lingage which made people to flow to the cave in Suryaghat like Ganga river.They were their with their varieties of problems which would be sometimes solved without uttering words infront of him.Slowly he was in direct contact with the Nepali society and experienced the problems of each and every single person.The root of the problems of the society were unfaithfulness, jealousy, hatred, egoist, deceitfulness, blaming, pointing towards somebody’s character without any cause, gambling, alcoholic, drug addict and womaniser. So to eradicate all these problems some of the old educated people requested our Baba to establish an organisation which could work on the problems as mentioned above. Feeling the need of such organisation in Nepal he then established “Shree Parameshwari Sewa Kendra” in 1996 A.D.After the establishment of the organisation the “Guru Gaddi(Throne)” was established in Nepal by the blessings of Guru Kapaleshwar.While working in the society for some years Baba came to face many problems of women whom he always respected with the word ‘Ma’ from his very first cave.He felt essential of the woman organisation which could concentrate on women’s problems and give relief to them directly and to their offspring indirectly. So to face the women’s problems such as insult, ignored, tortured and even girl trafficking by their own family members, he thought of a special organisation only for women. By his kindness to the suffered women and the children he established the special organisation called “Shree Ma-Guru Nari Samooh” in 2002 A.D and the other “Aghor Gaddi” for the woman in first time of the history of Aghor Gaddi in the world. By the establishment of two thrones (Gaddi) one for the monk and one for the Kumari (unmarried girl).Our Baba gave the introduction of the Tatwa knowledge for the first time and spread the Aughad,Aghoreshwar’s tradition in Nepal where the aghori saint were only known to be the tantric practitioner.Our baba emphasized people to build good character and think the nationality the main religion where the spirituality comes as the individual religion which has to be practiced by each and every person alone. If anybody wants to know about the life of Baba then either the person has to be like him or they have to be blessed by him as we have a proverb that even the god and goddesses cannot know the behaviour of the saint as it is never the same.
