my comment from http://troolyunbelievable.blogspot.com/2008/02/aghori-sadhus.html

In your message, you use say 'I was informed...' - the question is who or what gave you this information and how reliable is it?

I mean, if it were as unreliable as Nehru's famous blasphemy 'Discovery of India' where he markets the theory of 'Aryan' invasion, then perhaps this question is best ignored.

On the same lines, what guarantee do you have that anyone on this forum is 'filling' you in with the right information?

None. If you really want answers, you'll have to find them on your own - or have a bullet-proof source that you can trust.

Having said this, ristopaunche/Anonymous, just want to add a couple of corrections to your account --- more in the interests of describing an awesome concept correctly than for the sake of correcting your language.

What you have posted is absolute gold - but here are the corrections, anyways:

1. Eating flesh does NOT constitute cannbalism. It is when a species resorts to eating members of its own species that the practice qualifies as Cannbalism.

2. 'Flesh' refers to the stuff in any living being's body, and meat is generally the flesh of a mammal when it's used for food etc. Poultry is the flesh of fowl or game used for food.


3. 'Bali Siddhantha' would translate to 'Principle of Sacrifice' - not Principal.

4. 'Aghorism prepare Aghor for the world after death' - I get the meaning of this sentence, but suggest that it be laid out thus::

"Aghorism goes towards expanding the practitioner's consciousness to take in what is perceivable AFTER the physical body has expired in its use."

Why? well, the world itself doesn't change after death - remember that death is merely the inhabitant leaving a physical body upon that body's Karmic expiry-date. And so, it would be the consciousness of the inhabitant in concern that changes. And it is this expansion or change in consciousness, I think, that you refer to.

Even as we live, many other beings live around us, in the same space - however, due to limitations of our senses, we are unable to perceive them. Methods like Kirilian photography may or may not reveal objects that are NOT perceived by humans- depending on what your choose to think about such techniques.

Regardless, bodily death frees up the consciousness as it is no longer confined to the Body-Mind-Intellect complex - and many humans are simply not prepared for what they 'see' - especially after being programmed with ridiculous post-death concepts put across in books like the bible, koran or torah/talmud.

And it's certainly a good idea to be prepard for this paradigm shift in perception, as Anonymous/ristopaunche suggests.

Searcher, if you read above, you'll notice a discussion on belief vs. knowledge, and that is possibly the best way to portray why it's never a good idea to live on someone else's description of life. Instead, it pays to perceive things yourself- as suggested by The Veda.

Many cheers.
