Aghori are a group of ascetic Hindu practitioners who follow an extreme form of spirituality within the broader context of Shaivism, which is centered on the worship of the god Shiva. The Aghoris are known for their unconventional and sometimes shocking rituals, which aim to transcend societal norms and attachment to the material world.
Some key characteristics of the Aghori include:
- Rituals involving the use of human remains: They are known to perform rituals that sometimes involve the use of cremated remains, skulls, and other aspects of death to break free from the fear and attachment associated with it.
- Rejection of societal norms: They often reject social conventions such as cleanliness, traditional dress, and other societal expectations, seeing them as distractions from spiritual liberation.
- Focus on non-duality: Aghoris believe in the non-dual nature of existence, where everything is a manifestation of the divine, and they strive to experience this through their practices.
While Aghoris are often portrayed in media in a sensationalized or extreme manner, their ultimate goal is spiritual enlightenment and liberation (moksha), not merely the pursuit of shock value
