Truth lies only within.”

Aghor Foundation

Aghor Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to combining service and spirituality. The foundation’s projects embrace and put into practice the timeless teachings of Aghor, the ancient mystical lineage with roots in Varanasi, India.

The foundation is located in the southern part of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. A beautiful campus comprises the Bal Ashram and Anjali School, overlooking the river Ganges and the city of Varanasi.

Adjacent to the main campus is Vision Varanasi eye hospital and just across the river is Amrit Sagar Environmental Center; both are sewa initiatives of the foundation.

Our Guru

Baba Harihar Ramji is the founder and spiritual leader of the foundation, our guru. He is a disciple of Agoreshwar Bhagwan Ramji, founder of the modern traditions of Aghor.

Vision & Mission

We envision a society of heart-centered citizens living their highest ideals with environmental awareness. Aghor Foundation inspires and provides a stage for individuals to connect with their inner peace and live a life of selfless service. Each initiative borne of Aghor Foundation has a ripple effect, being a replicable model in the community.
