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 Bhairava 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.
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.
But who are we, what is this self?
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.
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.
And at the same time it is just that, and so much less, it is as simple as nothing else can be simple.
Every living human being carries within him or herself everything necessary to realize the true self.
Every technique only leads us into this language, be it prayer, ritual, religion or whatever.
