In the 20th century AD,
Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu Baba Bhagwan Ram (1937-1992) was
the greatest avadhut in the Aghor tradition. He had an
overwhelming spiritual quest ever since its infancy, and
attained enlightenment at the age of fourteen or
fifteen.
Baba Bhagwan Ram is credited to have changed the place

they were regarded as being, literally, on the social

become a part of the mainstream of religious life in
Varanasi and elsewhere, using the powers of their
spiritual practices for social benefit.
