Kumbh Mela 2021 - Who are Aghori Sadhus ?

In Rural and sub Urban India nowadays most of the frauds Aghori sadhus are living just for money lust etc. I am sharing this to all of you so that you can understand their spirituality level.

So I am Providing you facts about real Aghori Sadhus.

Following are the lesser known facts about Aghori Sadhus.

1. Aghori means the one who is not Ghor/ Difficult. Another word for an Aghori is Avdhoot. Avdhoot means the one who is beyond any hope, who is pure by heart, who remains permanently in joy, who is beyond lust, who has no malice, who remains in present, who doesn't wear any mask, who has neither worries nor desires and who has gone beyond his ego. An aghori is also called Aughar which literally means the one who belongs to some other home. An aghori is also called Aniket which means the one who has no home.
2. Burn a piece of wood, when it’ll get burnt, it’ll turn into coal. Burn that piece of coal now, when this’ll get burnt, it’ll turn into ash. This ash will be in shape of that piece of coal. Now blow it off and the ash will get scattered. After this stage nothing can be done to this ash. An aghori is like this scattered ash. He has reached a state where nothing in this world can harm him in anyway anymore.
3. Aghori says, O Shiv, how can i pray to you ? I have not seen you, I have not felt your touch, I have not listened to your voice. I have seen myself, I have touched myself, i have listened to my voice, hence I consider myself Shiv and pray to Sarveshvari to grant me the same Shivatv which She had granted You. Aghori says, Shivoham… Shiv is me only. Bhiravoham… Bhairav is me only.
4. Ram, Krishn, Buddha, Bhrithari, Raja Harishchandra, Raja Bhoj, Kaalidas, Tulsidas they all were aghoris only. Ram and Krishn did aghor sadhnas at the shamshan of Maa Tara.
5. Aghoris don't follow any scriptures. They don’t have any scripture of their own. They know that God has neither revealed nor wrote any book ever. Whatever books have been ever written are written by humans only. They know that every book written at any point of time in the past has been based upon three things, first is sthaan/ location, Kaal/ time, Patra/ audience. Whatever may have been relevant at that point of time can not be relevant today.
6. Aghoris know that whatever in this world exists has only been a certain permutation and combination of basic five elements ie. earth, fire, water, air and sky only hence they don’t discriminate. The know that every particle of this earth has soul in it hence for them eating an apple and eating a piece of meat is the same thing.
7. Aghoris are beyond three Gunas namely Sat, Raj and Tam. They go beyond the perceived notions of these gunas and remain untouched by them.
8. Aghoris do sadhna at shamshan only to make their mind a shamshan, where no desire takes birth anymore. Shamshan is only one of the five places where Aghoris do their sadhna. All of these places are symbolic. All of them represent end of desires only.
9. Aghoris have knowledge of elements. For example they know that water which can be used for bathing, drinking, cooking can also be used for Bhootshuddi.
10. Aghoris don’t do black or white or pink magic, neither they do vashikaran for anyone. These things are much below their dignity. The people who call themselves aghoris and ask people money in return for these imagined favours are simply frauds.
11. Aghoris are of two kinds. Ones who don’t marry are called Sarbhangis as they shave their heads. Seconds are aghoris who marry and lead normal lives but remain aghoris only.

What`s Right isn`t Always Popular

I was going through an online course developed by my team on decision making and found this story very interesting on making decision. I'm giving it as it is I found somewhere in the internet.

A few children were playing on two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the track not in use, the rest on the operational track. The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way? Also remember that you don't have time to inform either the children playing there or the locomotive pilot to stop the train. You have to choose from the only above two option.

Before going further please take a pause, make your answer ready.

Let us see the decision you took is right or not.

If you have taken the decision to divert the train to unused track, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child you have definitely taken a popular decision as most of others take.

But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? Why should he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was? The kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few ignorant kids.

"Remember that what's right isn't always popular and what's popular isn't always right."

Everything that is constructed is to be destructed

Everything that is constructed will be destructed. It may difficult to accept this truth. But that is. Everything, each and everything.... human life, a new innovation, a business, a building, a government, a policy, a law, a belief, a relation everything that is constructed today to be destructed one day.

I don't tell things to be completely collapsed to be destructed, but at least the form in which it is present shall be destructed to construct itself in another form. This seems to be law of nature. The theory of formation of this world itself tells that it is constructed by destruction. So sooner or longer it has to be destructed to construct another.

There were kings, kingdom, policies, laws, belief... they are no more now. They all are destructed to construct where we are now. A business, that is formed by years of hard work will be reformed to transform into another form in a minuets of time or it may be completely collapsed to make way to another business. But sure, it shall be destructed.

A record, may be a sports world record, or simply a Guinness record made by months of preparation will be reconstructed by another. A relation started by 1st meet goes to an end, that could be a full stop or transformation of type of relation. Open to close, close to open; social relationship to personal or a collapse of the relationship.

So, think of the way how it could be destructed before constructing. This will help you to reform it and save it from collapsing. Go for reconstruction before it collapse. So when you construct think of destruction.
