KASHI
AGHOR LINEAGE
Kashi (Varanasl) is known as
the City of Shiva. The aghoris claim lineage from the
Avadhuta Siddhas of Varanasi which in turn emanated from
Lord Shiva himself. The first aghor was Aghor
Bhairavacharya of the 5th-6th century and his lineage
was revived by Baba Kinaram in the 16th century. After
receiving darshan of Bhagwan Dattatreya, Baba Kinaram
established the Krim Kund Asthal in Varanasi. The
recorded history of the Siddhas who headed the ashram in
Varanasi at Krim Kund is as follows:
Aghoracharya Maharaj Kinaram
Aghoracharya Baba Kinaram
revived the tradition of aghor in the 16th century when
he set up the Aghor ashram in Varanasi. Baba Kinaram was
born to Akbar Singh, in a kshatriya family of Ramgarh
Village in Chandauli district near Varanasi. Baba
Kinaram travelled far and wide in all the four corners
of India and witnessed the suffering of people. He
engaged himself whole-heartedly in alleviating their
suffering.
Goddess Hingalaaj blessed Baba Kinaram in Girnar and
followed him to the Krim Kund in Varanasi. Baba Kinaram
is the founding father of the ancient aghor seat of
Varanasi. Hinglaaj Ma is present in mantra form which is
the representation of deity in mystical geometric
pattern.
Baba Kinaram has mentioned principles of aghor in his
books Viveksar Ramgita, Ramrasal and Unmuniram. The book
called Viveksar is said to be the most authentic
treatise on the principles of aghor. On the bank of the
river Ganges in Varanasi, he established his dhuni
(sacred fire) and continued his sadhana of service. The
akhand dhuni (continuos burning fire) of Baba Kinaram
and the samadhis of all the siddhas of the lineage are
in the same compound.

first initiated disciple of Aghoracharya Maharal
Kinaramiee. He was the only son of his widow mother. The
