Mysteries of the Aghor Master

This book Mysteries of the Aghor Master is the first in a series of three illustrate Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu Baba Bhagwan Ram (Sarkar Baba) Ji's teaching on the nature and subtleties of the Aghor tradition. It describes the nature of the life-force(Prana), the state of deep absorption (unmuni avastha), the essential virtues and comportment of seekers on the path of Yoga, and the importance of cremation ground in Aghor practices. It throws light simultaneously on Sarkar Baba's prescient views about the intricacies of Indian social, political and religious life, as well as his acute understanding of the rural Indian culture. The comples matters that Sarkar Baba prognosticated in his original book all seem to have come true in the India of today which, although a markedly changed nation from the 1980s, still retains many of the old complexities that drive its destiny today.

The author Akinchan Ram is a disciple of Sarkar Baba. Currently he lives in Austin, Texas, U.S.A. where he teaches at the university and translates Sarkar Baba’s Books.
