AGHORI's

Aghori Sadhus

What kind of feelings does the word cannibalism arouses?
Well most of us would get disgusted, but there are people who follow cannibalism in India even now..

India land of oldest society, oldest civilization, but all this time in the Indian history there was a sect dedicated to Shiva was involved in cannibalism and other very crude animal behavior.
The aghori or aghouri sect has its origin in ancient Vedic system, even though these people don't follow the main stream Vedic system but the root is the same.
The word aghori in Sanskrit means non terrifying,

'a'-'ghori' most of the Hindi speaking people would have heard the phrase ghor kaliyug, ghor paap, etc..
it is the same ghor, theoretically these people don't attach themselves to anything mortal. They do things which a common man finds to be terrifying, so they overcome this terror by going through it, since they do it regularly it is a common thing for them..
