What exactly is Aghora and why does it invoke a strange reaction from even articulate Hindus? Before even going into an exploration of the fundamental values of this path, let us understand that the name Aghora - meaning non-terrifying - is one of the names of Lord Shiva. His southern face is called Aghora, south representing death and the cremation ground. Thus, the very first thing we learn is that Aghora has something to do with death. While scholars may say that this sect came into existence as a derivative of the ancient Kapalika and Pashupata sects, what makes an organized and non-superficial study of Aghora more difficult is the fact that we do not have any standard authoritative scriptures for the same. Most Aughar - the colloquial name in North India - practices are traditionally passed down from Guru to disciple and in a sense, can be broadly described as the Vamachari Tantric rituals taken to an extreme. It has a legendary fascination with the cremation ground because Aghora starts, in theory, with the acceptance of the one defining reality of human life: death. Irrespective of what one believes in, death is certain and it is indeed the greatest miracle of Nature or Maya that we live most of our life unmindful of this fact. What Yudhisthira told the Yaksha in the lake stands true even today. We know in theory that everyone dies but in practice, our minds are configured to believe that it is not going to happen to us and this is certainly one of the great deceptions of nature to help us survive. But Aghora in particular and spirituality, in general, is not about mere survival. It is an attempt to rearrange our perspectives about things so that we see the world as it is, not as we would like to see it. With that in mind, the Aghoris seek to break down their anesthetized worldview and thus try to become fully cognizant of the deeply unsettling pressure of personal mortality. When the realization strikes that death is certain, all of our selfish endeavors become meaningless. A strong desire sets in, an urgency to transcend the human condition and find the larger meaning and purpose for life, similar to what must have happened to Parikshit Maharaj when he got to know that he had only seven days to live. Smashan vairagya - a dispassion about life that sets in when a person visits a cremation ground - does not last long. In a few days, the mind gets back to normal and old habits re-emerge to take control of our lives. What an Aghori tries to do is make that dispassion permanent, by ensuring that we constantly remember the inevitable end of our lives so that we seek that which is changeless.

Aghora, described in this volume as super-tantra , is a Path of Devotion to the Great Mother Goddess Kundalini, here manifesting with the Name and Image of the Goddess Tara. This way is one of extraordinary extremes and intensities, even for tantra, and its aim is nothing less than to destroy the human limitations of the practioner, so that he or she becomes a super-human in fact, a kind of deity.

"More than four decades have passed since I met the Aghori Vimalananda, and it has been thirty-three years since I last heard him speak. Happily for me he permitted me to write down many of his musings so that I would have them to remind me of the wisdom that he embodied. And, thanks to his compassion for others, he instructed me to publish some of this material after he was gone, which I did in the three Aghora books, books that I continue to regularly read and that continue to offer me thought-provoking guidance at any step along my own path.An aghori is someone who plunges so deep into darkness that he emerges into light. Aghora is a spiritual path that because of its extreme heterodoxy has been¿ough I cannot myself claim to be an aghori, the example that he thus set has inspired my own sophomoric attempts to transmute into equanimity all that is both gratifying and grotesque in life, focusing on the subtle world while living in mundane reality, for Vimalananda always emphasized the importance of living with reality."

"Aghor Medicine moves seamlessly between an ethnography of religion and medical anthropology. The stories of suffering and renunciation, of collective experience that turn Indian hierarchy and discrimination upside down are quite marvelous. The writing is clear and direct and the interpretations balanced and scrupulously documented. Barrett has written one of the best accounts on local traditions "modernizing" in ways that combine indigenous significance with globally crucial changes that react against health and social inequalities."—Arthur Kleinman, Harvard University "Ronald Barrett's fine account of aghor medicine reveals essential characteristics of India's popular culture, and, since an ashram in California has an important role in the story, of American popular culture as well."—Charles Leslie, author of Death Row Letters (forthcoming)
