Aghoris ain't scary...unless you're a missionary ;)

A-ghori, in Samskrith means 'That which is not terrifying/scary/revolting' ---of course, it's hard to find the right English word for 'Ghor', but 'A' as a prefix certainly refers to 'that which is NOT'.

A true Aghori would not believe (to believe is to live in an assumption, by etymology) ---he would either know, or put himself on the path to knowledge.

Knowledge and Belief are diagonally opposite concepts. If you KNOW, you do not have to go down to the level of belief/faith. But when you don't know a damn shit, then you believe, and yak on about faith.

the Aghori 'knows' that there is NOTHING in this world that is dirty, scary or terrifying- only human perception makes it so, as all of creation is as beautiful as Lord Shiva --"Sathyam Shivam Sundaram" --though Lord Shiva himself sometimes lives like an Aghori, in cemetaries, smeared with crematory ash and holding the odd skull or two, in TRUTH, he is beautiful, as is all creation rendered by him.

Bhakthi, a system of Karma documented in The Veda, is not Faith/Belief. but that is yet another topic, beyond the scope of this note - which was intended to correct your version of the meaning of the word 'Aghori'.

Also remember, while the Aghori can perceive more than the average man, every average man has the same potential, but his consciousness is weighed down by his Karma.

Aghoris do NOT move 'everywhere by air'. Their consciousnesses are freer to move around in creation, given that their Karmic standing is a lot better than many others'.

The word 'pray' has its etymos in 'Prachhathi' in Samskrith, which means 'to ask'...so every time you ask of them, they perceive your query with their unhindered consciousnesses and you feel the response.

Stop being like a silly missionary who thinks that his/her 'belief' or 'faith' has moved a mountain. Realize that we were built powerful, by the best builder of them all - and our minds hold immense power beyond belief.

Know who you are, and where you come from.

I salute the Aghoris in their quest, and in their steadfast vision of The Truth.
