Aghora is style of life when the
person transcends social barriers he had. The follower of such lifestyle is
called Aghori. Aghori may eat the meat remained after burning the human corpse.
Aghori may use a scull as a cup and drink from it. Speaking in general Aghori
may transcend any social taboos but regularly it doesn’t lead to anybody’s suffering.
For what the Aghora is practiced?
It leads the practitioner to
practical understanding that the Divine Reality is everywhere. Divine Reality
exists in most terrible forms like death in the same extent as it exists in the
most beautiful things like baby’s laugh. We may understand that theoretically.
For practical understanding of that the Aghora style of life or some of its
elements may be useful.
We may start with contemplation of
some things really terrifying us.
Somebody is terrified by the
pictures of Death then Contemplation on corpses and sculls may help in
spiritual practice.
There was one person. He liked corpses
and sculls but he could not tolerate any angel pictures. For him the Aghora
would be the contemplation on angel picture.
If we cannot tolerate something, if
we are upset regarding anything bad that may happen then it is the subject for
Aghora practice.
In most cases Aghora contemplations
are necessary for serious spiritual practice because it is difficult to reach stability
in deep states of meditation without practicing the Aghora practices first.
You can achieve some results in
meditation. But your results will start to terrify you at some point because
you will start to see VERY TERRIFYING things in your deep meditation. And if you
are not ready your practice will stop and you will not go further. If you have
good experience in Aghora practice then you will not be stopped by those
terrifying truths that you will discover.

Some people feel that their destiny
is to be a warrior, meaning real warrior, the person who kills other persons. To
kill others in the war is a natural way to survive for many nations in
different periods of human history. The question arises. Is it possible to kill
others, to kill often and still follow spiritual way? To be more detailed: not each of killed persons really deserved to
be killed. It was just a result of the war between nations. Those soldiers,
those warriors, those killers of innocent people need the spiritual path. Does
it exist?
Yes it exists and has its own specific
features. It has special meditations, special techniques, special mantras and
rituals.
If you are interested in the Way of
Warrior then you should visit several gatherings related to Aghora first. After
several Aghora gatherings you may ask your questions about the Way of Warrior
personally.
