Dr Robert (last name Svoboda) is apparently a student of an Aghora baba. You know, the notorious Tantric sect which worships Kali and pretends to eat dead people. Ooookay...
Here, he discusses what Aghora means "internally". It´s still some really hardcore stuff, but on a more mental or psychological level. Your heart must become a cremation ground for the love of Kali, and so on.
Or as I (!) said in a previous blog post during one of my forays into acosmic pessimism: This world is a charnel ground, the best we can hope for is to turn it into a cremation ground...that is, a bridge to an entirely new form of existence.
Don´t worry, I intend to stay "in duality" for a couple of more lifetimes!
Dont some of the aghoris do mote than just pretending to eat the dead?
ReplyDeleteYes, although it´s not clear to me how wide-spread actual necrophagy is today. Coprophagy apparently still happens...
