The world of Aghori sadhus is beyond the comprehension of the ordinary person. Aghoris are devotees of Shiva, the god of destruction and transformation, and seek to attain liberation from the cycle of rebirth by transcending the boundaries of good and evil, purity and impurity, and life and death. They practice a unique and extreme form of Hinduism. They are known for their bizarre and unconventional rituals, such as dwelling in cremation grounds, smearing ashes on their bodies, using human skulls as utensils, and eating flesh from human corpses.
Aghoris believe that by consuming what others reject, they can attain ultimate consciousness. That is a tradition that embraces death, darkness, and mysteries. It's a path that breaks all the rules of society to meditate on the union of the soul and the supreme Shiva. It is the ultimate tradition. But is there a deeper spiritual purpose to their lives than simply dwelling among the dead? Read this interesting book written completely in a new style.
