The Human God “Aghori”

Aghori 

Aghoris are type of sadhus who think they are the human god. They believe in lord Shiva. They also believe that god exists in everything. The aghori lives in Varnavasi (Ganga River) the living place for lord Shiva, this is the representation that the final abode for everyone.

To live a life as Aghori is not easy. Aghori have to leave their family, friends and everyone. They just believe in Lord Shiva and scarifying their life in this spiritual way. Most of the Aghoris roam around naked, representing the true humans and their detachment from this world of mortals who live in the world of illusion. Some of them cover their private part in black cloth. Aghori will apply human ash on their body. Aghori always smoke weed to make themselves to feel high all the time. Their daily routine is Meditation, Eat and sleep.

Next, when comes to sadhus, we know that everyone will ask for money for their expenses, food and all stuff. But aghori will never ask for money. Aghori will eat human fleshes. But they do not kill anyone to eat them. They only eat the abandoned dead bodies in the cremation grounds and the bodies they pull out from the river Ganga. They eat the corpses either by eating them raw or cooked on the burning pyre. It is said that eating the corpse gives them supernatural powers that can bring them close to Lord Shiva. They make human skull as their food bowl and human bone as their meditation equipment.

Furthermore, mantras and rituals. The aghoris are the most powerful against the ghost or supernatural. They can stay in funeral grounds all the day and night. Aghoris have a very different approach in sexual activity. The sexual activities are practiced by Aghoris is having sex with dead bodies. Aghori believe in black magic and they think they are the strongest and powerful person in the world. 

The Aghori is basically trying to make everyone realize that all that we have made around us is an illusion. We must go back to our original form that is Aghori and if we follow them then everyone can have the same power as them.
