The Bizarre Path Of The Left Hand Of God: Aghori
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 янв 2023
- The Sanskrit term Aghora comes from adding the prefix “A” to “Ghora”. “A” meaning
negation and “Ghora” meaning intense or deep. Aghora therefore symbolizes a style of life
where a person of the Aghori tradition doesn't have intense or deep feelings. It does not
distinguish between various emotions and seems to be indifferent to the various stories of life.
1
The Aghoris are believed to be descended from earlier Saivite ascetic orders.2 These
ascetics considered themselves to be Shiva's cattle, and believed Shiva would assist them in
freeing themselves from the bondage of the earthly realm.3 Aghori is the one who follows the
path of the Aghora.
A path of evolution and spiritual realization that starts from the most
animalistic, grossest aspects of the human being and stage after stage evolves into what can be
called a liberated soul. They stand for the left-ha 4 nded route to salvation, or vampanthi. The
dakshinpanthi, or right hand path, is its opposite and comprises universal spiritual practises like
meditation, prayer, and bhakti that were taken from the early Vedic writings. The Vampanthi, on
the other hand, stand for peculiar habits that society sometimes views as inappropriate and immoral. Their ceremonies are frequently contrasted with western occultism.
.
These aspects also distinguish them from other Hindu sects.5 Because these sadhaks often do not
care about anything but the ultimate, they are often disinclined to act as per the conventional
"spiritual" role.

I believe this is an expression of total and complete acceptance. It is a truly beautiful practice, poetic by nature. In this place, no one or no thing is left behind. I have experienced this place in meditation and, for the first time, felt complete acceptance, peace. All of my 'imperfections' were brought to light in the most loving way, I needed to change nothing about them. I was perfect as I was, a beautiful disgrace. I believe we will all understand and feel this unconditional love together soon 🙏🏾
Thank you for this... The very thought is the most beautiful feeling to experience...
The state which predicates judgment, is not dependent on the experience, tho through the activation, one can find the dissolution source. Due to arising and dissolving into and from the same
I am not looking for this at all. I want mastery over the laws of nature, I want perfection, not acceptance. I do not chase a feeling; I am above feelings. Will power is all that matters to me.
Thank you, I needed to hear this today.
The left hand path represents an extreme polarity of spirituality.. And the true goal of enlightenment is not to be captured in extremities (good or bad). The goal is to rise above the polarities and gain an upper view. To become the top of the triangle and see everything from the Middle Path. That's true transcendence. We become the so called good and bad and transcend both in order to have that higher sense of vision. (becoming the Observer)
"Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water, after enlightenment, chop wood and carry water." The only thing that happens after reaching a certain degree of enlightenment is the fact that one becomes more PRESENT. There's no past, no future...only now. Because of this state of presence, healing abilities can start to appear and time seems to "freeze", so our physical appearance can look like 20 years younger. We stop growing old at the same pace we used to.
I'm sure you know much more than the Aghori sages 🤣🤣
Well it’s extreme if you are on the other side of the spectrum! In my opinion if you are already balanced and do not discriminate then it’s not so extreme anyway! It’s about not accepting the duality of things that society or conditioning made us think . That’s why India as a country is not about being polished or clean. It’s multi dimensional . It not linear. I think this concept will take some time for west to digest .
@@attarvovin He does what he is preaching is essentially hermeticism or zen since both those traditions deal with mastering the polarities. These Aghori what can they do? There path is not meaningful.
@@lipikagoswami2817 Maybe in India these guys are outcastes but in "the west" they would find themselves to be less depraved than the average leftist.
it s an experience at the beginning for the self liberation at a certain time that we find in the punk, psychedelic movement or rebell movement or occutilts for example, but after the aim is to serve the egoistic realization by all esoteric methods ... what about the purity of soul and self appartenance?opposed to the idea of loving more others than our ego. its nowadays. ias i used drugs and spiritual research and sex and etc...i understand from the inside... now i ve changed i m happier because i knew i was in the wrong way
This is one of the best explainer about this topic at the moment. The editing and story telling is amazingly done 👌🏾
It's very interesting that the aghori refer to themselves as "cattle" of Shiva because the Ancient Egyptians had also refer to themselves in this way as being "cattle of the gods"
Cattle didn’t eat their own, aka canniba-
That's interesting
@@KhmerTarotReadingaghoris are not cannibals first check the media shows them as they are cannibals and very alcoholic but cannibal means people who kill and then eat the body of a person aghoris don't kill people they eat the dead bodies of people they eat everything that has no life they even drink their urine and poop
@@KhmerTarotReadingreal aghoris dont have to do that kinda stuff according to another aghori. Do you refer to the big showoff in Media, where one might think about if these media loving aghoris who Talk about the most bizarre stuff only have still a big ego
Similar to the Shepherds and Sheep of Christianity…..
"Aghori is one who sees everything as one, stays as one, birth or death, fortune or not. We are all aghoris in this state, the gruesome activity comes from the moderates trying to do what they think is Aghor" - Acharya prashant

Aghoris are really fascinating. thank you for the explanation.
Lord Dattatreya is one of the 16 Chiranjeevis (Immortals) in Hinduism. Legend has it, if you're too far into your spiritual sadhana, you can still find him in the Girinar mountains of Gujarat.
So after you practise drinking from human skulls eating shit and piss you can finally meet him like understand what your defending here this is akin to defending scientology.
Met a couple aghoris few yrs back. He wore all black. Has child leg bones in his hair. I was fascinated by him. Took a few days for him to talk to me
What did he say to you?
@@absintheminded8466 just talking bout life in general and how he travels around and the rituals they do at midnight.. he was very kind and sweet and altho lived a detached life. Could tell he had a heart full of love
@@founderofself What ritual they do at night!??
cuz he trippin on human flesh and ganja and roasted human blood😂😂😂 he needs to come outof datura trip to be able to talk , in the west he would have not survived the street
@@wanksey5693 stfu man. U ain't got a clue
This is really well put together. I'm deeply intended in Aghor and the Aghori. I've had talks with Nath, Naga and Aghori Bab's, the Aghori have been the most level Headed by far. When I began on a path if Faith in a,Hindu framework I had many chats with a Nath who I ended up learning was full of himself, later on I got talking to a few Aghori and was impressed deeply.
The Aghori play in bands and can be found on the fringes of society in the west, but they are never "Satanists". There are so few it's almost impossible to find one in the west, but they are the most real of humanity. They don't eat literal poop or human flesh in the west, but they do spiritually, and many of the other things Aghori do, many times literally. The different schools and sects of religions are a let down because Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma are the only reality, and cannot be separated from the triune or u get only a sect of a religious school, which change the names and leave one of the triune out of the story by ignoring it or giving a lesser significance, leaving the leaders of the sect a fake, full of themselves and his/her followers in a state of confused subjugation within a dream state.
@@Lumalnatti11 few who say this are us but some now simply say "give it a name". all all
Kashmir shivaism is a tantric path which is really near to aghori path. The head guru abhinavagupta was in the path of kapilakas which was a predecessor of the aghori path but then turned it into a householder religion. I suggest you to read some books of kashmir shivaism first. For example: tantraloka, vijnana bhairava or shiva sutras. I can also suggest abhinavagupta´s interpretation of the bhagavad gita. Jai Guru Dev
@@Lumalnatti11 I didn't talk about money. But you are right: everything is a part of god consciousness!
sorry to inform you there are tons of self-proclaimed aghori babas, they are aware of the touristic attraction that they are and one honestly cannot even blame them... it's real tough out there
😍Om Chamunda, Om Kalaratri, Om Kalikaye 🥰
Wow this has blown my mind. You are explaining it very well and like I have never heard before. I have seen travel videos of the agoris and never wanted to go there or meet these people but this makes me actually interested to go there to India and learn more.
*_"Aghoris"_* are the devoti of *_"Shiva,"_* the most powerful God in Hinduism, the God of _"destruction and recreation."_
Hindus believe Shiva performs his cosmic dance *_tandava"_* at the end of each cosmic cycle.
The word _"Shiva"_ stands for *_"that which is not",_* one who has no beginning or end, one who doesn't exists or the nothingness. He is also called *_"Mahakaal,"_* a word which translates to *_"the eternal timekeeper" or death._* His consort is the goddess *_"Kali"_* (Parvati/Aadi Shakti), the word _"kali"_ originates from the word _"kaal"_ which stands for _"the time"_ or _"the death"._
*_Hinduism is not a religion, it's a philosophy, a way of life._* it's not polytheistic as most people assume, all Gods in Hinduism are *_symbolic._*
Hinduism believes in one supreme state or the state of ultimate reality or pure consciousness called "Parbrahm".
*_In Hinduism God is a state (not an entity),_* the state of pure consciousness, energy or the ultimate reality, this energy appears to take material or physical form called *_"Maya" (the grand illusion)._* The whole material universe is merely an illusion of the Maya, created by our consciousness.
Since everything we see, feel and experience is merely an illusion, while in reality, everything is just energy that is the reason Hindus worship everything.
_*"Aham Brahmasmi"_:* a popular phrase from Hindu philosophy and scriptures which means "I am the God/Universe/pure consciousness". According to the " Advaita" philosophy of Hinduism, the creation and creator are the same, the creator itself manifests itself as creation or vice-versa.
Individuality as a human being or as a soul is an illusion, we are one, the soul is one, I am you, you are me, I am the one living the lives of billions of souls; from the tiniest bacteria to the infinitely vast cosmic creature "universe", *_I am the nature, I am the cosmos, I am the "Shiva", I am the God._*
Now coming back to Aghoris, the word *"Aghori"* means *"terrible",* these Hindu monks have realised this very essence of existence and are now liberated from their ego, their material self, they no longer associate themselves with their body or the "Maya" but their true consciousness the ultimate reality, they are neutral to all their feelings, are free from the worldly possessions and have complete control over their senses. They live in crematory grounds and put the ashes of the dead on their body as a symbol to show what society considers "Abhor" (impure/terrible) is neutral to them.

I have great respect for you. Interestingly I decided to listen to some music related to Kaal Bhairav today and a few minutes after I did I came across a dead dear on the road, followed by seeing skull symbolism while I was driving. Shiva really does remind one that death can take us at any time and it can be liberating.

Great video as usual!! Thank you very much!
I don't believe in religion but this is something that makes the most sense to me I feel. I've had a gnarly life dealing with addiction and homelessness as well as being the only one out of my friends and family still alive and I'm still in my 20's. I've dealt with the most painful medical ailments as well as losing all the friends who wouldn't hang out with me no longer because of not wanting to be seen with an addict despite the fact that I do not steal and am more honest and transparent than majority of people in general. I have gotten a partial sense Or feeling of enlightenment or peace through enduring such agony and do actually think there is something here. It has been so constant that I don't feel comfortable around positivity or having good things happen to me which is actually liberating because bad things happen to us all. I would say that I am abnormally genuinely good in regards to others. I always thought good and bad where man made when it's all a matter of opinion but the universe has no opinion, it just is. If you can approach everything as just being you can't be hurt as easily. So much more that I don't care to type out about this. It's crazy how much this speaks to me.
If that’s the case you shouldn’t care about being hurt @ all, but you do, and always will .
@@classygary Its somewhere you have never been so it won't make sense until you are. Until then just don't even try. Being a human doesn't make sense. One of the descriptions of insanity is to have no regard for ones well being and there are lots and lots of people who cause their own pain out there my friend.

This is a beautiful and insightful video.
That's a really amazing video and content, congrats from Brazil. I study theater and this remembered what some books says about the origin of ocidental theater, which may be in the Dionysius cult in the ancient Greece. Those rituals were partly like of the Aghori people: they drank too much wine until fall into unconsciousness, they sacrificed animals like the bull (Dionysius representation), they walked naked during the party and had a lot of sex in big orgies. In fact, this remember some others cults in ancient Greece, like Priapus cult, which appears in texts like Satiricon, of Petronius, wrote in the early roman empire, and it's considered a controversial material because of it's content, which involves a lot of homoerotic sex, robbery, alcoholism and so on. Anyway, it's curious that we can find a lot of relations between cultures across the world. The Aghori people and it's philosophy remember us all that death come to everyone and nobody can scape from this reality, no matter how we try to supress this with the "comforts" of the supposed civilization.
Don’t see how this is connected to the Ancient Greek Empire. Don’t compare worms to snakes

@@classygary sorry how do you mean?
Fascinating but repulsive at the same time. This path is not for everyone. Always saw so many Aghoris at the Kumbh Mela - wish I had known more about these mysterious Sadhaks. I am happy with the Dakahina panth 😅
Death is not something to fear, but something to celebrate. We are all immortal beings and for a very short period of time we are realesed from the burden of immortality and experience the limited, like the beautiful sight and perfume of a flower. Its precious because its limited. Death is the end of the illusion of finite existence, like the lights that turn on in a cinema. The illusion is gone.
I can see how their sadhana contributes in a positive way to the universal mind. The desire to know and experience those actions is already “there” and they do it with sacred reverence, without harming other people and to their own evolution. Thank you Aghoris, for you do it so I don’t need to.
Aghoris life is embracing death and suffering . You don’t have to take this path to seek enlightenment. Because it’s already part of who we are.
Yep ❣️ As if people need to “seek” death and suffering. And as if the opposite (love, compassion etc.) isn’t at least as important and difficult as being able to face the dark.
With all due respect, sounds like a pretty cheap coverup for psychopathic tendencies and very confused minds.
And, an empath suffers and dies a thousand deaths. I call it a real spiritual success if you still are singlemindedly standing focused on enlightened state.
well said
@@niluferozyoruk An empath will die thousand times and everyone is empath to someone but being aghori treating everyone as 1, making no difference between anything is a class above thing for people like us. It's way too hard and when you have family forget about this.

Aghori is very similar to Sabbateanism coined by Shabbetai Zevi. In turn, the modern tenets of “Satanism” loosely apply these concepts as well. In some circles, I guarantee they apply it wholly.
As a Perennialist myself; I can’t get behind this philosophy. Because what does their worst “sexual gratification” look like, who does it affect and how does it affect them? Who are the people they are cannibalizing? Does “God” want one to be obscene and grotesque on this three dimensional plain?
Some say the “Giants” of the Bible are the product of the “egregoroi” or the “Watchers.” The etymological similarity between “Aghori” and “egregoroi” can’t be unobserved. In turn, I don’t see this path as a viable one for those who represent that greater cosmic purpose. I don’t see what “good” might come from such practices in the macro perspective. Especially when people must suffer for the gratification of another in the micro perspective.
I enjoyed listening with an open mind, but I stand firmly against these practices.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of Sabbateanism, modern Satanism, linguistics, and now even Aghor. You're twisting small parts of these paths to try and fit your very unenlightened idea of a "Perennial" philosophy and appropriating concepts from within them without proper respect or education on what these religions and movements really believe and mean, and it's cultural Imperialism at its worst. If you can't understand the reasoning for their actions, then don't presume to pass moral judgement on them from your far-removed position, firmly within
the religiocultural hegemony.
@@TheQuinis how about actually explaining where he has misunderstandings rather than shaming him? Out of that long ass comment you didn’t explain anything, just throwing fancy terms around and acting like a know it all. Seems like you’re the one being judgmental here. He at least provided a framework as to why he disagrees, I can’t say the same for you. We’re walking moral compasses, just as you naturally disagree with his view he naturally disagrees with theirs. Naturally, I’m gonna call you out. Get it? It’s not that big of a deal.
@@Morgantheturtleman i have no interest in engaging in any kind of conversation or debate with Jordan Peterson fans. It's not my job to educate him or you - I'm simply pointing out the fallacies and incorrect statements and encouraging both of you to do more research from unbiased sources.
@@TheQuinis Ah the classic “it’s not my job” response. I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy in your comment. He was judging them based on the basis that they are doing grotesque things in the pursuit of enlightenment (to make it simple), you were judging him, instead of judging the people who are doing grotesque things in the pursuit of enlightenment, BECAUSE he was judging them! You’ve spoken from a stance of moral superiority by claiming that he should not judge because he in some sense represents western imperialism, and in doing so you are judging him on the basis that one should not judge another. Only a westerner can feel good about himself by telling another westerner not to judge someone on the basis of some kind of “imperialism.” Sure, acknowledging the difference in culture and thought is important, but by no means should it be inappropriate to question a different culture’s beliefs and practices. If you were to explain where his mistake lies in his comment I wouldn’t be so critical, but your comment seemed to have an unwarranted amount of angst.
@@Morgantheturtleman so many words to say nothing of value. There’s a reason people don’t want to engage with you to educate you, or even talk to you at all, and it’s pretty obvious from these two comments.

[Parasmaipada] ([Dhātupāṭha xx, 19]) vamati ([Vedic or Veda] also vamiti [imperfect tense] avamat or avamīt; [perfect tense] vavāma vemuḥ, [Mahābhārata] etc.; vavamuḥ, [Pāṇini 6-4, 126]; 2. sg. vemitha or vavamitha, [ib.; Siddhānta-kaumudī]; 3. sg. uvāma, [Śatapatha-brāhmaṇa]; [Aorist] avān, [Śāṅkhāyana-brāhmaṇa]; [future] vamitā, vamiṣyati [grammar]; [infinitive mood] vamitum, [ib.]; [indeclinable participle] vamitvā, [Manu-smṛti iv, 121]; vāntvā, [Vopadeva]) to reject id est. repent (a word), [Ṛg-veda x, 108, 8] :-[Passive voice] vamyate ([Aorist] avāmi [grammar]), to be vomited etc.:-[Causal] vāmayati, vamayati (cf. [Dhātupāṭha xix, 68]; [Aorist] avīvamat [grammar]), So the Aghor and Vampanth as an aglutinated concept is refreenced in the world's oldest text, the Rig Veda.
You are wrong here. Vaam doesn't means vomit. Vaman(vam) means vomit.
What is the name of the song playing at the end ? Raama da se , saa se soo ham ... ❤️❤️
Very interesting thank you my friend.
A lot of this really resonates with me.
Could you please advice which version (sang by Whom) of Nirvana Shatkam has been played in the background and please advice where can it be found.
🙏
It is an original composition; we haven't released it as a standalone yet. We're still working on some legal rights. Stay tuned!
The song at 19:00 Is amazing and would love to hear the whole thing
Aghora if done wrong, can do more damage than benefit, that's why right hand spiritualist hindus, call it filth and dangerous.
Right hand path is difficult and boring
So Beautiful .. ❤
very interesting. So many mysteries

I've always been fascinated by those religious traditions which, in one way or another, seek salvation or enlightenment through heaping condemnation or damnation upon oneself. It's almost a kind of moral asceticism.
*_"Aghoris"_* are the devoti of *_"Shiva,"_* the most powerful God in Hinduism, the God of _"destruction and recreation."_
Hindus believe Shiva performs his cosmic dance *_tandava"_* at the end of each cosmic cycle.
The word _"Shiva"_ stands for *_"that which is not",_* one who has no beginning or end, one who doesn't exists or the nothingness. He is also called *_"Mahakaal,"_* a word which translates to *_"the eternal timekeeper" or death._* His consort is the goddess *_"Kali"_* (Parvati/Aadi Shakti), the word _"kali"_ originates from the word _"kaal"_ which stands for _"the time"_ or _"the death"._
*_Hinduism is not a religion, it's a philosophy, a way of life._* it's not polytheistic as most people assume, all Gods in Hinduism are *_symbolic._*
Hinduism believes in one supreme state or the state of ultimate reality or pure consciousness called "Parbrahm".
*_In Hinduism God is a state (not an entity),_* the state of pure consciousness, energy or the ultimate reality, this energy appears to take material or physical form called *_"Maya" (the grand illusion)._* The whole material universe is merely an illusion of the Maya, created by our consciousness.
Since everything we see, feel and experience is merely an illusion, while in reality, everything is just energy that is the reason Hindus worship everything.
_*"Aham Brahmasmi"_:* a popular phrase from Hindu philosophy and scriptures which means "I am the God/Universe/pure consciousness". According to the " Advaita" philosophy of Hinduism, the creation and creator are the same, the creator itself manifests itself as creation or vice-versa.
Individuality as a human being or as a soul is an illusion, we are one, the soul is one, I am you, you are me, I am the one living the lives of billions of souls; from the tiniest bacteria to the infinitely vast cosmic creature "universe", *_I am the nature, I am the cosmos, I am the "Shiva", I am the God._*
Now coming back to Aghoris, the word *"Aghori"* means *"terrible",* these Hindu monks have realised this very essence of existence and are now liberated from their ego, their material self, they no longer associate themselves with their body or the "Maya" but their true consciousness the ultimate reality, they are neutral to all their feelings, are free from the worldly possessions and have complete control over their senses. They live in crematory grounds and put the ashes of the dead on their body as a symbol to show what society considers "Abhor" (impure/terrible) is neutral to them.
@@ankitk5530 Very interesting! They are living metaphors. There is a part of me that is very jealous of cultures that still have this vibrant mythology intertwined with their daily life, here in America people living like this are just 'crazy'. They don't have the same symbolic value and are instead written off. It's almost like the goal here is to stop being the dreamer and start being a figure in someone else's dream. Ego death through subjugation of the ego to symbolic representation. I like the English word 'realize' a lot because it means both to comprehend and to make real, and I feel like the Aghori do both in this way. I appreciate the comment, very helpful.
@@ankitk5530I don't know if the gods their are symbolic and it's definitely not an accurate way of how the gods are perceive the more accurate way of viewing them is that they are manifestation s of Brahman

I think that almost everything in their philosphy is absolutely correct. The universe is meant to express the nature of God and therefore in nature itself, there is no "right" and "wrong", "good" and "evil", everything just "is" as God is. God is everything at the same time, all at once. But I believe that God wants us humans to live in a way that does not cause unnecessary harm to ourselves and to other living beings, this being based on how we are made. It's practically impossible to truly express every single aspect of God's nature, especially the "dark" aspects, without destroying ourselves or others in the process. It's not for us humans to do or else we would've been made in a way that would make it possible. All we can really do is make attempts at it. But hey, to each his own. It's their faith that compels them to do the things that they do so maybe through these attempts, they find God. Just don't hurt anyone while you're at it. 😊👍
Bro i think you should research on Himachal's devta culture where gods _truly_ enter the body of humans it's the most believable religion
That you term a 'religion' as believable indicate much. The lost and blind believe and hope. Knowing, gnosis, understanding. To believe is to surmise, to be convinced from position of dis- belief.
To attain an understanding has nothing to do with belief.

@@brandonheat9785 I have tried answering you in my previous comment. If there is something you would like to know or question I will be glad to answer.
No matter what the philosophy is, their practices are disgusting and outright horrendous to say the least. Its okay to keep yourself informed about the different cultures but this is not something which should be encouraged at all.
This is incredibly interesting
To be able to spend a week with these people... I feel like one could experience radical changes in life.

The aghori practice is like similar to gnostics but in a extreme way.🤔

l have always understood that the word "aghora" (अघोर) meant "no fear" (i.e. घोर = fear).
You're wrong.
Ghor also mean ultimate or intence , have you heard word ghor kalyug ? ( final form of dark age ) )

Go for it bro.
if you can assimilate things that are anathema successfully without becoming trapped, you can be a type of master
I lived w an aghori..not recommended..powers are not ethics.
All spiritual practices or thoughts I believe to likely be merely digging within to depths that are all different and personal to each person and from each person's life. And giving yourself over completely to belief and feeling that what you are perceiving is the highest truth.
No matter how it's viewed our search and our dwelling within this place and this path results in some of the most miraculous displays of strength and power that can be possible from a human being.
By belief we each can do anything we believe. We can be our worst enemy in so many ways. And our greatest saviour in just as many.

One of my gurus is an Aghori, the other has a PhD in meditative science. They’ve helped me validate my own path of Indriyaga.
How do you even do such a thing? Travel to India and seek them out?
The philosophical framework for this left hand path is Wrong in my opinion. They don't claim, as the demon worshipper, that creation itself is wrong and should be fought against, altough their actions do very closely come to represent that mindset. But rather that existence in all its possibilities, including the evil and disgusting ones, and the good and clean should be embraced. (I come to doubt that they really despise or suffer through what they do, but rather enjoy it, but thats another point.) But that implies that they are not against existence itself, but what they perceive as the "tyranical rules that govern existence", which are represented on earth as the impositions of what society deems moral.
The obvious problem with this is that the so called tyranical rules are not there, as they expressly state by their philosophy well articulated even in the video by saying "the joint efforts of society have led to morality as a normative concept". Morals in as much as we can conceptualize them, have not arisen as a societal consensus, only a small part of civilized world can claim to exist like that, but people have moral rules in the most remote villages and caves dwellings in the world since time immemorial. Morality is not an imposed rule, it is biological.
Morality is not created by society, it is upheld by it. Morality is created from biology upward. It is a natural consequence of following the rules of existence. For example Aghoris they eat their own feces, or the flesh of the dead etc. That is not breaking "the tyranical rules of society" that is completely idiotic to think or say so. Not eating your own shit or the flesh of the dead is something that most animals avoid too, guess why? Because you get sick and die. Its not about it beeing taboo and disgusting, its that it is perilous to your existence and thus doing it is completely foolish and regardless of life.
They also claim that in nature nothing is good or bad. Also not true. Animals have a primordial system or morals too. They protect their own and see it as good. They preserve their own existence intuitively, which they perceive as good and pain and death as bad and to be avoided. Some animal species are evolved enough to cry for their fallen members of society. So there is regret, passion, sex, courting, good and bad even in animal kingdom, because good and bad are present aspect of nature.
Unless they refer to non-conscious beings. But then, the same enlightenment could be achieved by contemplating non-existence, and non-consciousness, without anything to do with eating your own feces or the dead.
Trying to outwit God and suffering by embodying the opposite of good, will not produce much enlightenment in my opinion. You might understand some things that those who only live in the light will not. But you also won't experience the enlightenment and bliss by soiling your soul and body to the extreme. It shows you have no respect for creation by using your free will to be as negative as possible. When are you positive then?
They say nothing matters, all is equal. Then why be disgusting and extreme in your actions, and why only extreme on the dark side of things? When do actions of light come into their lives, so that they know the opposite of their dark actions? Do they presume to act as an opposite to all that which is positive creation? They have that much wisdom? What about hubris to think you can act on behalf of the opposite of the whole of humanity? DO they presume to understand the whole other half of humanity without ever even having lived as it? A lot of presumtions. Also makes no philosophical sense, in my opinion.
In conclusion it doesnt make a lot of sense whichever way you slice it. Prove me wrong.
Morality is biological? That’s bs.
Look at nature, animals are eating animals alive. Even same species eat each other often.
Look at prehistory, different humanoids fought against each other and slaughtered each other brutally.
Look at past rulers and the atrocities army’s, kings, soldiers, citizens, common people have committed.
It seems like you’re influenced by Mark Passio.
Unfortunately, morality is ideological. Nothing else.
Also, Aghoris don’t eat their feaces all the time, nor do they eat dead bodies all the time. It is only during certain rituals. Once in many years.
I guess you have just seen this one video and have made up your mind without much context. I would advise you read some books on it to get a larger picture. A good one is the Aghora series by Robert Svabooda
@@sidhantsharma9961 Its true I havent seen much but for a few videos on the subject but I thought to express my opinion that their philosophy doesnt make sense to me. Thank for the recomendations, I might check out. But you still dont andress my other points.
And yes it is even said in the video, that all our moral laws comes from biological natural laws. It doesnt matter that we fight against those laws. It doesnt make them any more or less real. It is a law to not hurt people, because hurting people leads to death, which is a biological imperative for us to avoid, etc. So it is with all laws. They stem first from basic biological needs of the physical universe. Well, they stem from a consciousness directing things toward life, and that is transcendent, but that transcendent aspiration does so in order to care with Love for the 3d body.
Of course there are forces of destruction in the universe too, that is what you are refering to. The fact that evil exists doesnt make good non existant.
And the implications of the actions of the Aghori is that they are partaking in something that is "dark/unclean" even to them, in order to encapsulate both the light and the dark, that itself implies they understand there is an inherent order and morality in their actions. But they spite it to an extreme in order to gain elightenment that way.
So which is it, do they understand that their actions are unclean and do them anyway, but they suffer? Or they don't care bc nothing matters, in which case they dont suffer, in which case why be so extreme in the first place?
@@Silithid120 So, first you have to understand their objective. Their objective is to transcend duality and see the non-dual nature of beings.
Where is good and bad in non-duality?
This does not mean, that they’ll go around killing people. If you look at their lives, they live ethically. They don’t harm anyone, the dead bodies are bodies that are already in the cremation grounds, getting decayed, etc.
Infact if you meet genuine aghoris, they posses more love than most people on the planet. How is that possible if they are acting unethically?
To understand this, you have to be clear of 2 realities.
1. The apparent reality (duality)
2. The absolute reality (non-dual)
The apparent is intrinsic to the absolute. Both exist simultaneously. Which means that you cannot negate either. Even though ultimately the absolute is all there is, but you can’t disregard the apparent. It’s like the hot-ness of a flame. The cool-ness of ice. You cannot quantify it, but it still exists.
The path of Aghori is for a select few, for obvious reasons. We should live and let live as long as no one is getting harmed.
When people say “it’s ethical to eat dead bodies”, that’s ideological. As the dead body is going in the ground anyway, and btw it’s not harmful for the person either. It’s not like the body is decayed.
Rather, I would say, the meat farms are far more unethical.
When it comes to eating our own puke, that could be disgusting for some, but again it’s unethical by ideology.
I agree with your conclusion but the point of a spiritual path is to disentangle your soul from earth. Nothing more and nothing else. Maybe an Aghori apprentice needs this path. It's not necessary for most people to be this extreme. Be egoless, keep away from lust and pleasure, no violence etc work for your soul to achieve this goal. I don't know exactly why Aghoris need their path. Perhaps they feel it's necessary to disentangle themselves very publicly and in a visual way from society. They're not wrong. You can't participate in society entirely when on a spiritual path anyway. They cut themselves completely and in a very straightforward and vulgar manner.
@@Silithid120 Again it's not about suffering i don't know why people fixate on that word that much. All living beings suffer. Of course they understand their actions are fucked up. That's why they perform it. If they didn't there wouldn't be much point int these rituals.
Thank you...
The right hand doesn't even want to think about what the left hand is doing.
They say lots of sex is a big part but I only saw dudes around...
That never stopped anyone
I'm an Aghori
They lost me at eating rotten flesh.... I guess I'm just not that holy.
Nah. Rotting flesh is "unholy", or tamasic. Put some energy with it (rajas), and you're right at satva (sweet/holy).
Its a foolish path. They say they want to over come death and transcend it but they havent because they are cling to it every day. They say they want to be free of conditioning and forms yet they cling to their forms and methods obsessively.
Many of society's woes are caused by human's fear of death. Aghoris embrace death, so they are immune to these societal woes. It's hard to motivate someone with the fear of "If you do/don't do (whatever I'm selling), you'll die." An aghori says, "So?"
