AGHORESHWAR BHAGWAN RAMJI

Birth

Parampujya Baba Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram Ji was born on the 12th of September, 1937, in the village of Gundi, near the town of Arrah, in Bihar state of India. Parampujya Aghoreshwar was the only child of his parents- father Sri Baijnath Singh and mother Shrimati Lakhraji Devi. Before his birth, the mother had a dream that the child she was going to give birth to would not be an ordinary mortal, but Bhagwan himself (God). Therefore, when the child was born, his father named him "Bhagwan".

Childhood

Baba lost his father at the tender age of five. After this, the child was looked after by his grandfather Sri Hridai Prasad Singh. His grandmother took great interest in his upbringing and Bhagwan also was too much attached to her. He was admitted in school but he was not interested in study. He used to collect other boys and in his leadership they all used to perform prayers. He received Vaishnav Seeksha from Saint Shreekant Ji. His quest for religious knowledge inspired him to travel to various places of pilgrimage.

Early Travel

Baba began to travel on foot to various places of pilgrimage. His first journey was to Gaya during the winter season. He visited several temples in Gaya. After spending time in Gaya, he left for Jagannathpuri on the east coast of India. He spent some time at Jagannathpuri and returned back to his village.
