Our Founder and Guru
Baba Harihar Ramji is the founder and spiritual leader of the foundation. He is a disciple of Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ramji, founder of the modern traditions of Aghor. Babaji’s teachings inspire individuals to connect with themselves through Sadhana (spiritual practice) and Seva (selfless service).
Babaji founded Sonoma Ashram in 1991 in Sonoma, California and the Aghor Foundation in Varanasi in 2001. Most recently, in 2020, he established Upasana Hilltop Sanctuary in Ft. Bragg, California. He is a role model and spiritual beacon for anyone seeking inspiration and guidance. He radiates love and embodies living with purpose.
