About this episode

Aghoris, The Mystical Sadhus

Aghoris are a group of mystical ascetics or sadhus who follow a unique and unconventional path within the broader Hindu spiritual tradition. They are often associated with extreme practices and rituals that may seem unconventional or even taboo to mainstream society. Here are some details about Aghoris:

Aghori Practices:

Tantric Rituals: Aghoris engage in intense tantric rituals to connect with the divine and achieve spiritual enlightenment.

Cremation Grounds: They are known to frequent cremation grounds, where they meditate and perform rituals. They believe that by being close to death and decay, they can overcome the fear of mortality.

Skull Bowls: Aghoris may use skull bowls to eat and drink, symbolizing the transcendence of duality and embracing all aspects of life, including the macabre.
