Aghori - from shamans to shiva

Aghoris or Hatha Yogis are the 5th Avatar of Lord Shiv( Mahakaal )
The word Aghori itself means "which is beyond Terrible".

The Aghori path is Laborious and very active spiritual process
In this person has to go to Cemetery(Shamshaan) and live there for 12 years for austerity. In this they eats only flesh of animals as well as dead humans .
The austerity combines of many arduous processes.
It’s very hard to find Aghoris in public places as they only live in Cemetery .
They sit near the dead bodies to do austerity because of that they receive the power of intuition and powers of Shiva . They are engage in cannibalistic rituals which helps in their Routine meditation of Lord Shiv .

The clothes they wear are same as Lord Shiv which means that they also only cover the lower part of body with the flesh of animals and they apply ashes that they gather from human cremated remains . The true sign of Aghoris/ Aghora is the Possession of human skull .

They worship Goddess Kali and when Goddess demands sexual satisfaction from them then they get sexual pleasure with the Dead bodies .They are Necrophilia in nature .

The first step of Aghoris is to leave the family and have to go through funeral of themselves .In this they have to perform to pay homage to one's 'ancestors'
They have the super natural Power of removing your Obstacle and clearing your Dilemma's
If you want to see the Aghoris you can visit Uttar Pradesh and go Manikarnika ghat in Varanasi .
Moving on to next one, their mantras and rituals. If you're a believer of miracles, ghost and supernatural, you'll understand it better. The aghoris are the most powerful weapon against the ghost or supernatural. They wander in funeral grounds all the day and night.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE RAISING OF DEAD BODY AND THAT KIND OF STUFF , THESE ARE THE PEOPLE
As scientific research at the the cremating process , the soul vanish but it stays for 5-10 in living form . They knows how to interact with them

There are many people who thinks Aghoris and Naga Sadhu are same but they are extremely Different Contrasting
Who are Naga Sadhu ?
Naga Sadhu are non identical from Aghoris
You can easily see them in Himalayas or Caves
Naga Sadhu lives in Akharas for 12 years and have to learn from Guru’s .For becoming Naga Sadhu you have to worship the Guru who is also Naga Sadhu in Akharas where as in Aghoris they worship Lord Shiv .
Naga Sadhu live without clothes whether in any situation . Naga Sadhu’s are full of Knowledge . They also live away from family

"The person who get the chance to meet Naga Sadhu first and Aghori Baba after that then it states that they have met Lord Shiv"
