Aghori, life without fear
Why Aghori?
Aghora is a name of Shiva. It means something like “no fear”. The word comes from Sanskrit and is based on gora, which means fear, dread, darkness, and “A” is the negation.
The Aghori are nondual God-realizers who originated as a loose community in India.
They follow an ancient tantric system for direct and rapid enlightenment, the realization of the divine self. To this end, the Aghori embody their god Shiva Mahakala and his Shakti Maa in the form of Kali or Tara. An Aghori transforms himself into his god and thus destroys all attachment to the earthly.
Aghori are radical seekers who are ready to give up everything, even their lives, in order to realize the absolute truth. Aghori consciously confront all unwanted aspects of life, such as death, pain, suffering, fear and anger. They transform all dualistic ideas by playing with duality like a child. They are not afraid of anything, because their trust lies only in the supreme God himself, who they are in themselves.
Aghora makes no distinction between one thing and another, as all that exists are but forms of the one, infinite God. What is there to fear when death and life are one and no one can ever die?
The Aghori use very effective techniques to accompany their path.
Those who seek freedom want to free themselves from limitations, both inside and outside.
The greatest limitations of our actually free life energy are fear, taboo and defense.
The human being in us always seeks the sympathetic while rejecting the unwanted.
But as long as we only allow a small part of the world, we will never experience the whole.
God’s energy is infinite and we are limited.
In order to free ourselves from the limits of our own being, we must first of all free ourselves from the fears and taboos that limit us. And to do this, we face our inner darkness and say yes to everything that was previously a no.
We overcome our fears by constantly confronting their content and transforming them.
We overcome our taboos because we see through them and no longer allow ourselves to be held captive by them.
We open the gates to our inner hell and free all the demons of our soul so that they can meet us as angels.
But who are we, what is this self?
Those who call themselves Aghori have an identification problem. For he who is aghora is beyond form and identification. He is Aghora, the realized name of Shiva, and thus he is no longer Aghori, for Aghori is maja while it still has form.
All others are in search of it, and at best live an honest embodiment of this idea.
Those who merely want a disguise for their otherwise unspectacular spirituality should look elsewhere.
Nevertheless, the Aghori path of Baba Kinaram is a system anchored in Indian culture, and created by it. A Western person is born with a different energy, which makes it difficult to follow this path authentically.
It is not enough to copy the external forms of Aghori and surround oneself with this total work of art. This path is internal, so we first have to copy the inner situations, and this is a program level of our being that most people have little access to.
Being Aghori, living Aghora, means so much more than playing with skulls.
And at the same time it is just that, and so much less, it is as simple as nothing else can be simple.
Saghori’s point of view is that everything spiritual is a language of the higher self. This higher self has no cultural, temporal or other limitations. Every living human being carries within him or herself everything necessary to realize the highest self. Once the person has contact with the higher self, inside and outside of him, he understands every language and every path.
Every technique only leads us into this language, be it prayer, ritual, religion or whatever.
At least it should, but this is only possible if we as dialog partners remain silent and listen to the other person, who should not be our own projection. In order to distinguish between the two, we practice this dialog. This is a spiritual path.
“We purify the communication channel to the highest self by freeing it from ego and filling it with divinity. If our self is a vacuum emptied of ourselves, then it automatically sucks in the divine.”
Every person in the world can walk the path of the Aghori, but will only be successful if he is guided by the highest God consciousness and his energy, in whatever form this appears.
Without this guidance it is not possible, it remains a disguise and a game.
Only an Indian can walk this path in his original appearance, because the Indian spiritual culture is a part of Aghori.
And at the same time, anyone who hears the call can do it…
Saghori has therefore consciously separated itself from the original Aghori, because it would be presumptuous to offer this path. And it doesn’t have to be, because Saghori is a gateway in its own right.
“I’d rather die a naked idiot than be like a stranger for a second and wear something that isn’t mine.
And yet all the clothes in the world fit me.”
“Now sit down, eat your flesh, drink your blood, eat your excrement and die. Then burn yourself and dance.”
