Maa Time
Our extremely valuable time is rapidly running away in a continuous succession of morning, afternoon and evening and today and tomorrow. Today goes away every day and tomorrow stays tomorrow: it will never arrive. Tomorrow, somethings else will come.
If we keep overlooking time, if we keep misusing and cursing it, then we will not be able to make any history of our own, and there will be no justification for our taking birth.
The bad habits that we have instead of attending them in a timely manner, we invite many kinds of uncalled for diseases into our lives. Having done so, we are forced to pray to and to beseech God, and so we try to snatch away his time as well.
You have come into this world along and, like the morning, the afternoon, and the evening you will depart will this day and this time.
Although it is not good to fixate on the post, neither it is good to completely forget it. Nor it is wise to understand the present only as the present, because the present is very different from what you now understand it to be. It’s so different, we just can’t know. It is the unknown who knows this, that unknown whom we called God. It is he who gives us the inspiration to say something, to hear something and to come up to this point of understanding.
Everyone want to gamble away their valuable time on a bet, and destory it. Not only do they not realize its value, along with their valuable time they also devour their feelings of [self] respect. Then they exude terrible dankness into their environment and destroy their lives.
Whenever a good day or a good time begins, obstacles definitely arise therein. Many obstacles begin to arise.
When you become as time bound as are the birds and the other animals, then you will be victorious over your senses, and even over that faulty life of yours shall you have some victory. Then your daily routine will become a source of inspiration to others. Your livelihood will also make others happy which you, and nobody will attack it.
Do not destroy time. Time will destroy you.
This life is not designed for on just one thing for your whole life, or for the year, or for the whole month. It is time bound: for such a time year, or shall I perform such an act. After that I will also make an effect towards my livelihood through which I will be able to nurture and provider for my dependents, my friends and relatives my children and grandchildren, my family and my aged parents. If we have an insulting attitude, that we are the only one [i, e, the best] then our quest will be absoluely incomplete. The result of this incompleteness may lead to our disciplined practice, our contemplation, our meditation and everything else to go to waste.

Nepal Aghor Ashram mangaldhanram


Shree Kapaleshwar Singha Sawak Ram Baba’s vani:-
To remain happy does not depend on circumstances, It is an inherent human nature. A pleasing nature is god-loving. To remain happy is the best way to worship god.However, you can not remain happy just by wanting to be so. Don’t trade your happiness for worldly objects. Once you lose it, you lose it for ever. When you realize that the happiness derived through the material world is only transient, you would try to get to the source of permanent happiness.
Happiness is of two kinds:- (A) dual which is always derived from an external object. this kind of happiness is only temporary. and (b) Non-dual which happens for no reason. It is called bliss or joy, it never ends, it is everlasting. Bliss is a state of mind with tremendous inner-strength. When a person is full of joy, he becomes desireless, he develops a capacity to give and care. A state if joy automatically creates a sense of non-attachment with worldly objects and love for all. That is why everyone, including sages and mahatmas are looking for eternal bliss.
To be at ease mentally and physically is the base of relaxation. Sleeping is not a state of relaxation. To become senseless for instance, through drugs or alcohol also is not a state of relaxation.
Peace and disturbance don’t reside in a place or an object. Both of these exist within you, not beyond you. If disturbance and worries get out of mind and heart, peace will become apparent. Seek the peace within you, you will find it.
Mantras are collection of spiritual words and divine power. They are beyond the reach of the human intelligence. It is possible to feel or control the reaction of mantras. However these are the things only an aspirant (Sadhak) should know. They are not to be publicized. Chanting of mantras purifies the nerves, the heart is purged of the impurities. The mind and heart remain in perfect order. Noble deeds are the obvious results. Peace starts to prevail. These spiritual words exist in every religion. Mantras are not to be read in books, they are to be heard only.

If the king is pleased, he might grant you land and elephant.
If the businessman is pleased, he might give you few pennies.
If the women is pleased, she would give you physical momentary pleasure.
But If Guru is pleased, he will keep you close to his heart.

Nepal Aghor Ashram mangaldhanram


Aghor sages of ancient times are Vishwamitra, Vamdeo, Vashishtha, Sukadeva(son of Vedabyass) Dattatreya and after them are Vikramaditya, Aghoracharya, Bhairavacharya, Abhinavavagupta, Sarvananda Thakur. Several other saints are also known to have interesting links with Aghoris or Avadhoots in the life of lord Buddha his spiritual accomplishment is attributed to an Avadhootin Sucheta who fed him the pious rice pudding. The digambar faith in Jain religion carries a strong flavor of Aghor tradition as the Aghors always stayed digambar (naked) when they are alone, only in the society they wear clothes. Goswami Tulsidas succeeded in having a darshan of Bhagawan Ram through his practice of Vam-Sadhana. Ramkrishna Paramahansa received his spiritual training from an Avadhootin. The famous Bama Khepa of the Tara Peeth (Shakti Peeth) was an Aghor Shadhak.
The Aghor tradition have different different names according to the regions. The Himalayee relates to Himalaya and the Giranaree relates to Giranar Mountain in Joonagarh (Gujarat) which is Avadhoot Dattatreya’s abode. Dattatreya is the first guru of this ‘Kinarami aghor tradition’. Whoose first Aghor saint was Baba Aghoracharya Maharaj kinaram of the 16th centuary. Baba Kaluram who was the Guru of Shree Aghoracharya Maharaj Kinaram Baba (the starter of the ‘Kinarami Lineage’ ). Shree Aghoracharya Maharaj Kinaram Baba has received his spiritual initiations from Avadhoot Guru Dattatreya at the Giranar mountain. our gurudev is of ‘Giranari tradition’ which is called ‘Kinarami lineage’.
Aghor often appears in tantric texts, especially in the western media, but the fact of the matter is that it is not a tantric tradition, it doesnot depend on tantras or tantric philosophy. Aghor sadhana does not depend on tantric activities, Aghor is a state of shivattva and an embodiment of Shiva who himself is the originator of tantra but he doesnot depend on it. The Aghors believes in the highest state of sadhana, which is spiritual austerity. An Aghor aspirant performs very severe penance in which he is completely detached from the worldly affairs. The subject of concern to him is to experience and realize the Divine Power. This types of severe penance is only known in Aghor tradition. Although Aghors stayed away from society, people started visiting them to seek their blessings and to benefit from their spiritual power. This became a threat to the livelihood of brahmins and vaishnava leaders, whose job was to keep people entangled in supperstitions and complex rituals in order to maintain their own domination on people’s lives. For their benefit they organized campaign against the aghor tradition to portray it as an unruly, erratic, and undesirable cult. The result was that people started keep distance with the aghors. Even today in society they have misperception about this tradition, although the efforts of Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram for the last decades have made a significant difference. The Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram Ashrams of Nepal, been trying to solve the same misperception about Aghor tradition. Our Gurudeva Avadhoot Mangaldhan ram baba who has established the Aghoreshwar Ashram in Nepal for the first time has to face so many difficulty due to the people of the Nepali society, who are unknown to the Aghor tradition. It’s been 12 years that the first Sudharma Ashram been built by the organization Shree Parameshwari sewa kendra in the supervision of Shree Gurudev in the name of his Guru Sudharma baba (Kapaleshwar Baba Singha Sawak Ram who is the first disciple of Shree Aghoreshwar bhagwan ram baba who was the first Aghor Saint who has introduced this aghor tradition for the welfare of the human society. And gave the right definition of the aghors to the society).
In Nepal before the establishment of this organization and the Ashram people of this Nepali society has never thought that Aghors are such a simple human natured person who is so much interested in the welfare and benefit of the society. Being an Aghor saint our Gurudev Avadhoot baba has shown the great example to the Nepali society. The society been always dominated by the Pandits who are after the complex rituals in the name of the god. In early days people used to dread Aghors because they knew that- If he says something, that is bound to happen, if he gets angry, that will mean disaster. This had been practically proved many times from ancient age, among them in the life story of Aghoracharya Maharaj Kinaram Baba we could read the story about these incidents. Many incidents happens with us as now people can see and get blessings from the Aughads or Aghors or Avadhoots among themselves.
Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram was against this miracles to happen in the public so was stopped from his time but the miracles takes place unknowingly to all who are related to Aghor Ashram here in Nepal or any other places of the world. Our Ashrams (Nepal) today by the instruction and guidence of the Avadhoot Mangaldhan Ram baba has been teaching the human values to all which is based in good character. The base of the good character helps the person to be blessed by the Aghor Gurudev. Spirituality can be only built in the foundation of the good character is the main theme of our Ashram. Our Ashram provide the food (prashad) and the shelter to all needy person without discrimination. All the human being should be equally treated been taught by our Aghor Ashram. The people of different castes, class, relegion belongs to our Ashram, they all been treated in such a way by our Avadhoot Mangaldhan Ram baba that everybody feels that the baba is here for the welfare of all and donot belong to only one caste, religion or class. The people here been taught how to perform their work daily. How to start the day and how to end the day? What has to be thought and what should be done for the welfare of the Nepali society. They are taught how to perform the worship to the divine mother during Navaratra. What is the duty and the responsibility of a person is as a son, daughter, mother, father, sister, brother etc and the most important is as a citizen of Nepal and as a humanbeing in the society in this earth. Aghor ashram of Nepal is trying to teach the people to behave as a humanbeing and to live in peace.

For a householder as said by Kapaleshwar Singha Shawak Ram Baba, so far as God is concerned, He would like you to continue fulfilling your obligations. One should work as much as he is satisfied with but no one should work under pressure to uplift his life and meet his family or social obligations. To the answer of the question about how to face hatred, jealousy, mistrust of the society and to get isolate ourselves living among them Baba said If the society is wrong, then it has to be prepared for improvement. The administration has to be reformed because all of us are affected by it. We too want to see improvement in the society and administration. People who come to us live in the same society and are subject to the same social laws. If things go wrong , they too are affected, and if those who come to us are in distress then how can we be happy. And therefore, it is the duty of a Sadhu that he should pay attention to the social matters along with his spiritual duties. And if society needs a clean up then, I would say, it takes, including struggle, war, movements, revolution, etc. If there is a super power if there is a god, we would like him to get involved in it too. In an average householder’s life also, there is a unique moment is right after he leaves his bed at dawn. That is the moment when past things are forgotten and new programme is not up yet. For a few minutes one is away from everything. As soon as you wake up, just sit down. At that particular moment , all your latent godly virtues got an opportunity to rise. And once they rise up, the evil thoughts automatically get suppressed. And what ever thoughts emanate at this particular moment will persist throughout the whole day. This is true for every householder, and gradually you will notice the change.
Personal improvement is the starting point of Adhyatma (spirituality). And in this life that is also the end of Adhyatma. If you do this, you will find peace and you will also increase your capacity. Adhyatma doesnot teach that you should strive for God just by yourself, get your whole family involved. Neither does Adhyatma ask you to go to jungle or cave in search of god and get yourself killed. Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram says , ‘First be devoted to saints and then to ethics’.

You are the source of bliss, you are the sustainer of bliss, and you are also the destroyer of bliss. You are the cause and effect both. Bliss lies within you. Find out how you can trigger it.
Pleasure is not the same as bliss. So long as the mind is troubled by the cares and anxieties of the world, one can not enjoy the highest joy the bliss of the divine. Where there is absolute peace, there is expression of true happiness and divine wisdom. It is a difficult state to acquire, but once tasted, it can not be forgotten.
The bliss attained from leading a celibate life is a solitary place is far greater than the pleasures derived from the acquisition of all the gems of the world on the strength of the purchasing power of wealth.
Your action or conduct which is approved and embraced by your heart and soul is what is known as your religion. Religion is that virtue and truth which inspires you to grow in every aspect of life.
True religion not only encourages you to tread the path of spirituality, it also emphasizes on earning resources and wealth. Because it is wealth that preserves religion. Without wealth it is impossible to sustain and preserve religion . Those horrible religious customs that leads to financial bankruptcy are not religion.
Why does a scientist make new discoveries? Where does he get new ideas from? Is it a reflection of the power of a human mind.
A saint or yogi owns nothing, needs nothing, wants nothing, yet he always surrounded by a crowd of people. What is it within him that sanctifies his surroundings ? why do people find relief in visiting his place ?
