Guy wanted me to talk about Aghori and it didn't fit in that thread and figured more would see this.
I follow Trika Saivism the householder version its like PHD level religion. Being Aghori is for when you can't take living in society any more and just have to; its coming!
Basically if you want to understand the deep religious stuff the extremist sect Aghori are based on read...
Vijnanabhairava or Divine Consciousness
Siva Sutras The Yoga of Supreme Identity
Spanda Karikas The Divine Creative Pulsation
Pratyabhijnahrdayam The Secret to Self Recognition
All by Jaideva Singh, those are the most in depth versions. Haven't found a deeper book in 16 years brah.
In Trika Saivism we have 3 paths depending on where you are at and have traversed all 3. The lowest spiritual path in this religion is the highest of all others. When people think of deep Yoga practices thats the lowest form of this religion. Its all about being aware of energy and I feel thats what real Yoga is about. We call this Anavopaya. Then theres Saktopaya which is Tantra which is once you are aware of energy what to do with it. In our religion its all about experiencing Siva (Bliss). Ultimately experiencing Parama Siva (Highest Bliss) permanently. Always loved Saktopaya. Then theres Sambhavopaya which never understood back in the day but totally get it now! Its being able to experience bliss by just willing it. The ultimate goal really has to do with Perfecting the Will.
Aghori are renunciates who live in cremation ground. They smoke Ganja which is the physical embodiment of god aka Kali (sakti or energy). They are non dualists and only see Siva (Divine) thats why they even eat humans and shit at the most extreme. They have a begging bowl of a skull but not big on begging cause if they don't get food they will just eat humans at the cremations grounds. This is Hell and they embrace it and live as demons constantly looking at the ultimate reality Bhairava (Terrifying).
