On the fateful day of September 21st in 1771, baba Kinaram invited his many disciples, the Ved-readers of Kashi(Varanasi) and the brave Kshatriyas.  He told them that time had come for him to leave his mortal body and that his body after his Maha Prayan(death) should be placed near the “Yantra” of Goddess Hinglaj and while making his Samadhi, his body should be placed facing the east direction. He also told them that those who will pray while taking rounds of the “Yantra” of goddess Hinglaj Devi near his Samadhi shall have their desires fulfilled.

After his address, baba Kinaram enjoyed his ‘hookka’ or tobacco pipe and then suddenly with a terrible roaring sound an earthquake occurred at the site he was resting and at the same time there was a bright light that shone like a electric flame. The bright light appeared to have come out of the head and rocketed high in to the sky where it finally disappeared amidst strange but pleasant musical notes that pervaded the surroundings.

At the end of this miraculous spectacle, all the followers went in to deep sorrow over the passing away of baba Kinaram. Then suddenly, there came a voice from the sky that addressed them all and said, ” Don’t be in anguish. I shall always stay in one form near the eternal ‘dhuni’, the sacred fire place. Leave aside all your worldly attachments. And for a brief moment, everbody present felt that a long arm rose high touching their heads and then finally vanished in the sky.

The mortal body of the great baba Kinaram Ji was then drenched in the nectar of flowers and was put in Samadhi(burial site) within the ambit of the ‘Yantra’ of goddess Hinglaj Devi. While this was being done, there was a announcement that seemed to come from the sky - Dear Followers, whenever you will call upon my name while under duress of any kind, I shall come to your rescue.”

The Samadhi of baba Kinaram now lies in the Aghor Ashram in Varanasi beside the Kreen Kund. Millions of believers visit the sacred site every year to offer prayers and to bathe in the holy waters of the Kreen Kund.
