DiKSHYA (INITIATION) mangaldhanram


DIkshya is the guiding light of any spiritual journey, but it is imperative to understand its true nature. According to modern custom, DIkshya is viewed simply as a commodity given by the Guru, whereas, in reality, it is the assimilating power of the disciple which is paramount in the initiation process. However since today this assimilating capacity is routinely overlooked hence one often comes across two disciple initiated by the same Guru of which one is firmly stationed on the apex of spirituality being full of human qualities while the other can be seen harassing the society at large via violence, chicanery, theft, fraud etc. And remains full of demonic qualities even after Dikshya. Do you know why this happens? It happens because the basic nature and meaning of DIkshya was not understood. It is not limited to being given by the guru; the assimilating capacity of the disciple is also important. Vibrations keep emanating from the Guru all the time. A capable disciple is able to ‘catch’ them. Eklavya and the saint kabir are telling examples.
What after all is Dikshya? The fusion of education, initiation and single minded devotion is what is generally called ‘DIkshya’ and not simply the whispering of a mantra into the disciple’s ear by the guru. In ancient time parents used to hand over the child to the Guru. The child used to live in the Guru’s Ashram. Thus serving the Guru and other Ashram work became his daily routine. He thus used to become an integral part of his Guru and in time came to consider the Guru to be his everything, even his virtual life breath. This total devotion used to called ‘eklavyita’.
In between, his education took place and also initiation into various fields of learning. It was then that he would come to belong to his Guru’s clan (kul) leaving behind his biological parent’s clan is the process. He thus becomes fully oriented towards his Guru and came to adopt everything of his Guru as his own, e.g. the Guru’s way of doing things etc. He then came to be called ‘Gurumukha’ (facing the Guru). This is the complete process of Dikshya.
Baba keenaram reintroduced us to this system of Dikshya in the 16th century, in tune with the prevailing mentality of that era, through the monasteries and their branches. In response to the call of the time of the 20th century Avadhoot Bhagwan Ram simplified the Dikshya process even further by prescribing that to become initiated in this order first one had to take membership in the headquarter or any of its branches. The seeker should then conform completely to the rules of conduct and life styles laid down by the order. Upon successfully completing that should pray to the president of the organisation to give him the book safal yoni and become Gurumukh by reading it. This is the easiest and healthiest manner of becoming fully Guru oriented.

mangaldhanram


All these have their importance in this cult, but the foremost question is ‘for whom?’ The simplest answer is ‘for them who have already gleaned the truth about the soul (atma). For him who is awake on the inside.’ Otherwise all these are but the laughable paraphemalia of a road side magician.
The skull or the skeleton mirrors our actual beauty. Their message; ‘The beauty made of skin and flesh sets to rot. It emits a foul smell upon death. It even gets eaten by worms. But the skull or skeleton is immortal like the self. The subconscious constantly tells the mind that this is its actual beauty.
The skull is totally useless on one hand on the other its ashes are full of medicinal qualities and is used in Ayurveda for healing. The life breath (prana) of a person confers cognitive ability on him by residing in the skull.In Yoga philosophy there is a place in the skull called “Brahmarandhra”.
The life breath(prana) is a portion of the invisible power that sustains the universe. Being the residing place of this unknown power it (the human skull) is the most sanctified vessel on earth. Yet, since it is ignored by people, it is totally useless for them; hence its use by aghorees does not create any scarcity. For example, even cups made of clay can become scarce if, say, one cup from a thousand cups was utilized. This would mean one person will have to go without it. The human skull has no use for anyone. Nor does shroud cloth.

SHAVA SADHANA (ACCOMPLISHMENT OF NECROSIS) mangaldhanram


What is shava (corpse)? This question is worth pondering. The answer: It is a house in which resides the extremely divine and pure portion of the unknown power sustaining the universe. Hence it is the most pure material of this earth. Only the supreme Lord Sada shiva is purer than it, nothing else in all universe.
‘Only a corpse can accomplish perfect necrosis’ to say this is incorrect. It is necessary to realise what is the ‘accomplishment of necrosis (corpse like state)’ sought through the shava sadhana. It is making one’s living body corpse like by investing one’s prana another corpse. It is a state of dissociation of the life breath from one’s physical body, state of ending the openness of body and soul. If one has the wisdom one can invest one’s prana into anything and perform the shava sadhana, or one can simply dissociate it from one self (without necessarily investing it anywhere) and experience it as a separate entity. The yogis do just this. One can use an actual corpse then one is a beginner, but to get entrenched in the aghora state one does not need it necessarily. Once when one attains this states this situation (of wilful dissociation of prana and body) and comes about automatically.

THE CREMATION GROUND mangaldhanram


It is the place where the gross physical body which harbours the supremely pure and divine life Breath is constantly offered to fire as oblation. Hence, the cremation ground is an extremely holy sacrificial alter. Here all the time someone he loves mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, wife, girl friend etc. He grieves at the separation from his loved one. Even the cruellest of persons is infused with detachments as long as he in the cremation ground; hence this place is detachment bestower by its very nature. This place is alive in its own right. But for whom? Only for him who is self aware, awake in his soul. Otherwise cremation ground employees also live there all the time. They bake bread on the sacred fire there, and earn their livelihood from it. For these employees it is simply a place of livelihood nothing else. The dogs living here eat flesh from the corpses, and give birth, and die in the end. They have no consciousness of this place.
There is no inherent importance in any place or substance. If anything has any significance it is the consciousness, awareness, the mind. As for the aghorees path, it is extremely simple, easy, natural and beautiful; there is no absolute need in it for these objects. All one needs in it is control over one’s tongue (sensory pleasure) and genitalia (sexual desire), unfailing faith in one’s guru and constant sub vocal recitation of the mantra given by the guru. A devoted adherence to this regimen will suffice to establish one firmly on the supreme state (salvation). The aghoreshvara (Bhagwan Ramji) has bestowed to us just this simple life style through his literature. Adherence to this primal and simple life style will gradually and slowly establish us in that state of being that was inherent in the human culture (Indian cultre) in its beginning.

SACRIFICE mangaldhanram


Often one hears that the goddess needs blood. All this is nonsense. The portion of Shakti (feminine creative principle symbolized by the goddess) residing in us causes the blood to ceases to flow the instant this divine power dissociates itself from us (dissect a corpse. Not a drop of blood will flow from it), hence how come the goddess will ‘need it?
Cutting down animals, birds or fruits is not Bali (sacrifice). Bali is an act of soul surrender. Only an able person can perform such an act. In Bali, the worthy person is made to bathe and then he is offered flowers and akshat (unbroken grains of rice) and there after the prana (life breath) present in him is ‘sent abroad’ pushed further in its voyage (beyond the physical body). Next, a mantra is whispered into his ear and in the process the sacrificer’s life breath is made to enter into the sacrifice “victim”. One who is capable also possesses the power to bring the sacrifice victim back to life.
Similarly qurbani (giving up) is performed by giving up that which is dearest to one rather than sacrificing birds and animals. The rule to bring about this intense affection is that the person doing the qurbani should bring up the thing being ‘giving up’ as one’s own children. He should invest all his love into it. Although all this is a mere formality, because is effectively performed the moment one surrenders one’s self to the deity. Sacrifice of one’s dearest is an act incomparable in the quality of surrender.

Kinarami Aghor Tradition mangaldhanram




The subtle introduction to the aghora place. The special literature created by the supremely revered Baba kinaram, have presented here with a view to clarify the doubts of the curious. Alongside the introduction to this theatre of spiritual action, the kreem kund, as well as to the aghora sect, it also appears very necessary to present a brief biographies of the great personalities of this order, for example. His Holiness kaluramJi, the ‘Aghoracharya’ Baba keenramji the supreme Aghoree Baba Rajeshwar Ramji. ‘The Lord of the aghorees’ (aghoreshvara) Baba Bhagwan Ramji.From this brief article one can see that this Aghora sthali (aghora place) has been the residence from the very beginning of time of lord sadashiva, the supreme Governor of all creation. We could not find the histories of all the great men who adorned this place with their august presence. However, from research we have found that this place has also been the tapa sthali (the place of performing tapa or penance) of the great sage sumedha, as well as being the spot where the truthful king Harishchandra had proved his truthfulness in a test. We are here only presenting the introduction to the great men of this place who date from 5th century A.D. onwards to 16th century A. D. And later.
The Kring kund the main tapa sthali of the Kinarami sect where his holiness Kaluram baba who is also known as Guru Dattatreya himself has introduced Aghoracharya Shree Kinaram baba to this Kring kund from that time this place been the source of Aghors of Kinarami tradition. Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram Baba who has started the great task of the Aghor tradition after the initiation from his Guru Aghor Maharaj Rajeshwar Ramji in Kring Kund.
He started the great task of expansion of the Aghor Ashram starting from the Parao Ashram where he built the leaper’s hospital which has been registered in Guienese world record . After this he built many Ashrams in India and by his disciple abroad ( U.S.A and Italy ). His first disciple Kapaleshwar Shree Singha Shawak Ram( Sudharma Baba named by Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram) Babajee built the ashram of his own by his blessing in Dildarnagar first where his samadhisthal been built now. Shree Kapaleshwar Singha Shawak Ram babajee built many Ashrams in India and by his instruction his best disciple Shree Avadhoot Mangaldhan Ram babajee built the very first Aghor Ashram in Nepal the neighbouring country. The first Ashram is called the Sudharma Ashram which has the organization called shree Parameshwari Sewa Kendra and the other ladies organization called shree Ma guru Nari Samooh build the other ashram called Aghor Kuti which both are located in Kathmandu the capital of Nepal. Other branches been opened in place called Sindhupalchwak and Bharatpur in Nepal. Shree Ma-guru Nari Samooh also been planning the extension and bought the land in the place called Gunsha which is very remote place in mountains. So this way the Aghor Ashrams been expanding in this world by it’s own new name and fame which is the real need of this today’s society.
