About the book 

Aghoracharya Baba Kinaram was a luminary of the Aghor and Vaishnava traditions. He lived in North India during the 17th century and to this day is respected as a person of great mystical achievement and as a dynamic social reformer.

Baba Kinaram composed Viveksar as a main text for the instruction of the Aghor state of being based upon his own personal experiences. The text is composed in the form of an exchange between guru and disciple. It was written on the bank of the river Shipra, in the town of Ujjain, on Tuesday, the twelfth day of the moon, Abhijit Naksatra.

This sacred text is the prasad (blessings) of a sadhu, and the fruit of his experience. Those who take it to heart, who analyze it, contemplate it, and grasp it firmly, will definitely find Ram. Baba Kinaram composed Viveksar to dispel doubt, just as the rising sun dispels darkness. In the tradition of saints, Aghoreshwar Baba Bhagwan Ram received the text from his guru and made it available for the benefit of all.

Listening to and contemplating these lines frees one from the chains of samsara (the physical world). Viveksar is the essence of all the Vedas, sastras, and Puranas. The only requirement of the reader is to see without discrimination and with an expanded heart. For such a reader Viveksar will remain deep within the heart. It will ever replenish love, joy, and inspiration throughout life. Through the teachings, all doubt and suffering will be removed.

In Baba Kinaram's own words, "This world is without any substance. It is made of those five elements that are Self-born and are returned unto the Self." Within this impermanence lies the permanent Avadhuta state of being, presented by Baba Kinaram as reflected through the eye of his knowledge.
