Aghori

[Guest guest]

Greetings

 

I am sharing what I have understood and acquired during my tenure of sadhana. I

am not well versed in any scriptures or never read any authentic books. mere

contemplation has brought me to you all with the below

 

thanks and regards

 

Aghora’s are the followers or worshipers of Aghora Rudra (form of Lord Shiva).

"AGhorithat which is not terrible" name it self conveys that it

is not a

taboo.

 

 

 

Aghori is the mental state of sadhaka. Sadhaka’s supreme devotional state act as

seat for Aghora sadhana.

 

 

 

The culmination in Adwaita is realisation of Brahman in all. Once the duality

ceases to exists all the actions, gestures and mode of communication with the

world appears very ghastly. They cognize Absolute in many. Sadhaka here is out

of Maya and liberates from all the limitations and merge with cosmic

consciousness.

 

 

 

In this state of ecstasy worshiper and worshipee are the identical. Separation

between Sadhaka and Deity dissolves. Obviously at this outset their upasana or

worship appears for people with lower consciousness as a ghastly performance.

All prescribed rituals, mode of worshiping etc are not applicable to them. They

are beyond our understanding and judgements.

 

 

 

Worship themselves, conversation with animals, eating the offerings to the deity

are few exhibitions that perplexes the people.

 

 

 

Dwelling in cremation grounds, eating human flesh or other similar activities

has nothing to do with Aghora. Such are fleeting sadhanas adopted by incipient

sadhaka for dispelling discrimination and to achieve equanimity in life. They

are not mandatory. We cannot conclude all Aghoris life embraces the above.

 

 

 

Medicine apprentices dissect dead bodies, it is only to study the human anatomy

and to over come fear, aversion and other mental feebleness. This backing helps

them to undertake a noble profession in future turning them into doctors.

 

 

 

Indian has witnessed the birth of several great devotes who have attained such

lofty pinnacle. Ramakrishan paramahamsa life is an immediate parable for our

understanding. In mahabharat epic it is narrated that Vidura a great devotee of

Lord Krishna has offered banana peels instead of fruit. Bhakta kannapa has

worshiped Lord shiva with great admiration transcending the entire regular

customs and formalities. So it Sabari hospitality towards Lord Rama by offering

tasted fruits.

 

 

 

If we could achieve such a adoration for God and cannot live without God, Yes we

too can claim ourselves as Aghoris.
