A Brief Biography
Village of Gundi
(Birth place of Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram)
There is a badly potholed road that starts from the Ara railway station in the Bhojpuri district of Bihar and heads northeast into the countryside, meandering for eight miles through rice fields and fruit orchards. It turns into a dusty bullock cart track halfway along, before if leads into the large village of Gundi. Even today, Gundi is a beautiful village abundant with groves of mango, guava, peepal, neem and banyan trees, and lush green field with the distant sounds of water flowing through irrigation channels and a serenity in the atmosphere that seems to still the mind and make the senses strain to hear the whispers of nature. Walking through the lanes of the village brings into view a temple to lord Ranganathan, a form of God Vishnu, and an ancient Shiva temple with its tall, sculpted silhouette against a line of trees, its walks crumbling with roots poking through the hallowed stones, reminding the visitor of the classic British lithographs portraying eternal India. But the most famous temple here is known as the yagyawatar temple, a Vishnu temple where people say many enlightened saints have stayed and worked for the benefit of the community. In fact, residents of this approximately 30,000 strong community believe that their village has been a blessed seeding ground for many spiritual seekers who have started their arduous and often perilous journey, from the thatched huts set in its fields.
