Bhootnath says "Enjai"

Chance meeting with Bhootnath (aka Vignesh), Aghori baba from Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu. Key phrase "Enjai". He spoke for hours about how he gave up everything, a good job in Chennai city, house, car, commissions…now living it up in Benaras, sleeping under yellow temple, Kshameshwar ghat. Homeless. Penniless. He spoke of "rounding" the breath, "dhyaana" (meditation) at 4 in the morning, of being pure consciousness. He took me to an internet cafe to show me his old photos on Facebook. He spoke of how food comes to him everyday, of the life post materialism, of a life sans luxury, of a life sans time. Living in silence…enjoying the energy of Shiva City. This city breathes new life into some people. Some people run away. Some never leave. I am mostly meeting people who have given up a lot of things and are here in Benaras to find salvation and Moksha. They just wait and wait for that day when death arrives. Bringing with it everlasting peace, a union with the sun. A union with the one…
