BY AMIT SOOD, DELHI
In an era where the boundaries between the tangible and the ethereal are increasingly blurred, Maulikk Buch emerges as a singular figure, a journalist with a pen sharpened by inquiry, a mystic researcher with a gaze fixed on the unseen, and a practitioner whose rituals echo the ancient whispers of India’s esoteric traditions. At 46, Buch is not just chronicling the mysteries of the universe; he is unraveling them, one sacred thread at a time.
As the founder of Aghori Stories (aghoristories.com), he has created a digital sanctuary for seekers, demystifying the arcane practices of Aghori sadhus, Tantra, and Vedic invocations. Now, on the cusp of launching dedicated spiritual consulting and training services in early 2026, Buch is poised to guide others toward what he calls “spiritual freedom”, a state of inner liberation that transcends life’s chaos and fosters profound personal empowerment.
From Newsrooms to Cremation Grounds: A Journey Fueled by Curiosity
Born and raised in Vadodara, Gujarat, Maulikk Buch grew up surrounded by folklore of ancient rituals, spectral encounters, and hidden energies. What began as childhood fascination evolved into a 27-year quest that took him from the newsrooms of Ahmedabad Mirror to the fireside of Aghori sadhus in remote cremation grounds and Himalayan ashrams.
Over two decades in journalism, he covered protests, cybercrime, stranded students in Wuhan during COVID, and Gujarati cinema, while quietly applying the same investigative rigor to the occult. The skills that exposed scandals by day became the tools that decoded Shabar mantras by night.
The Man Who Sat with Aghoris, Kapaliks, and Voodoo Masters
Buch is no armchair mystic. He has spent decades in direct immersion: conversing with Naga Sadhus, Tantriks, and even voodoo practitioners across continents. His platform Aghori Stories, launched in 2023, has become the internet’s most trusted source for authentic knowledge on India’s left-hand and right-hand mystical paths, from Dus Mahavidya rituals to protective kavachs and Rudraksha therapies.
With surgical precision, he dismantles stereotypes, revealing Aghoris not as macabre figures but as fearless warriors who conquer fear itself by living among the dead.
Spiritual Freedom for the Modern World: Consulting Services Launching 2026
Early next year, Buch will open the doors to personalized spiritual consulting and training designed for urban souls battling burnout, broken relationships, and existential emptiness.
Expect one-on-one mantra healing sessions, custom Yagnas, group workshops on Tantric meditation, online courses on everyday Aghor principles, and retreats in Vadodara’s sacred groves. His promise is simple yet revolutionary: ancient tools that deliver emotional resilience, clarity, prosperity, and genuine liberation, without requiring anyone to renounce the world.
A Journalist Turned Urban Aghori Lights the Way
Maulikk Buch is the rare bridge between hard-hitting journalism and high mysticism, between stock tips and ancient grimoires, between deadlines and divine invocation. In a noisy spiritual marketplace, he offers something increasingly scarce: verifiable experience, ethical practice, and results.
For the executive drowning in pressure, the parent craving peace, or the seeker hungry for depth, Buch’s forthcoming services are more than enlightenment, they are a practical lifeline.
The universe is within you. Starting 2026, Maulikk Buch is ready to help you unlock it.
Maulikk Buch, a prominent figure in the fields of marketing and digital innovation, is also the founder of two distinctive platforms that reflect his diverse interests and expertise. He established AghoriStories.com, a unique website dedicated to exploring the mystical traditions, philosophies, and real-life accounts surrounding the Aghori sect of India, offering readers rare insights into their spiritual practices, tantric rituals, and unconventional way of life. In addition, Buch founded VaastuPurush.com, a comprehensive resource on Vaastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture and design, where he shares practical guidance, remedies, and consultations to help individuals harmonize their living and working spaces with cosmic energies for prosperity and well-being. Through these ventures, Buch seamlessly blends his entrepreneurial vision with a deep passion for Indian spirituality and traditional knowledge.
