Baba Keenaram Jee known to be the Father of modern form of ancient Aghora sect., across world. He had direct vision of Bhagwan(GOD) Dattatreya. It was he, who met Baba Keenaram at Varanasi in the guise of Baba Kaluram. The place-Kalutila, preserved in Baba Keenaram Sthal, Krim-Kund, bears the testimony to their divine meeting. The statue of Dutt Mahaprabhu set up in the Sthal remind us of the presence of "Bhagwan Dattatreya" in the spiritual environment of Sthal. At Varanasi district of Uttar-Pradesh state of India, The Krim-Kund ( Sthal ) is believed to be the meeting ground of two thoughts-streams-Kailashi & Girnari tradition and stands for oneness of all sects viz., Shavishm, Vaishnavism and Shakta.
Aghorachaarya Baba Keenaram Jee Maharaj was born on Aghor Chaturdashi (Bhadrapad) in 1601 A.D in Ramgarh village, in Chandauli (has become a district now) region of Varanasi district of Uttar Pradesh State, India. The entire region became overjoyed when the childless couple Shree Akbar Singh and Mansa Devi finally got their child. After the birth, the child neither cries nor suckled at his mother's breast for three days. After three days when three monks (who were believed to be manifestations of Lord Sadashiva --Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh) came there, took the child in their arms and wishpered something into his ears. Amazingly the child began to cry for the first time since birth. It is from that day onwards the Lolark Shashti festival is celebrated as Sanskar ( Shashti, usually celebrated in Hindu religion after five days of birth) of Maharaj Shree Baba Kinaram Jee . Goddess Hinglaaj (Chief Goddess of Aghori) blessed Baba Keenaram in Karachi and followed him to Krim-Kund, situated at Ravindrapuri, Shivala, Varanasi.
According to Research Scholars and Historians, Baba Keenaram is the founding father of the ancient Aghor seat across world. Baba Kaluram jee known to be "Guru" ( spiritual teacher ) awakened the consciousness of "Aghor" in Baba Keenaram. Later on , baba Keenaram eastablished himself in the city of Varanasi for the service of the people and enlightened them with the ancient wisdom. He has mentioned principles of Aghor in his books *Viveksaar*, *Ramgeeta*, *Ramrasal* and *Unmuniram*. The book called *Viveksaar* written by Baba Keenaram Jee is said to be the most authentic treatise on the principles of Aghor. During his tour Kinaramji first stopped at the dwelling of "Grihast Saint" ( Married Saint ) , Baba Shiva Das for few days. Baba Shiva Das observed Baba Keenarm activities very minutely and was impressed by the extraordinary qualities, suspecting that he is an Avatar or an reincarnation. One day while on way to bath in river Ganga, Baba Shiva Das handed over his entire belongings to the boy Keenaram and hid himself in nearby bushes. He observed that the river Ganga become very restless as the boy approached closer. The level of water started to rise, and suddenly setteled down only after touching the feets of Baba Keenaram. Baba Keenaram was known as the biggest saint of the Era of Aghor tradition also known as Lord Shiva tradition. He was the first Founder/Peethadheswar (Abbot) of Baba Keenaram Sthal, Krim-Kund and before he took Samadhi , at Baba Keenaram Sthal ( where His body is buried in a tomb, along with Goddess Hinglaj in Yantra ( A Mystical geometrical shape to represnt the presence of goddess )'s form, he conveyed to his disciples that he will Re-incarnate as 11th Peethadheeshwer of Krim- Kund ( Keenarm Sthal ).
