They survive even in those conditions where it will be very difficult for normal humans to survive.The Aghori do not bother about what society feels about them and they live secret lives without any intention to get social recognition.

Some people have claimed to see them under its influence and then performing black magic to reach absolute Nirvana. However, It is not confirmed if the Aghoris were under the influence or the people who witnessed it but one cannot deny the magical powers of the Aghori.
13. Left Way to Reach God
Left Way to Reach God
While the whole world follows the right way to reach god, these sadhus proudly assert that they follow the ‘left way’ to reach god which is far quicker than the former. According to them, true godliness lies in seeking the ‘purity in the filthiest’. One of those sadhus says they are true Aghoras if they were able to concentrate on god while performing the most perverted acts such as necrophilia, necrophagy and Coprophagy. To mention, the right ways to reach god include veganism, sanctity and abstinence from lust according to Hinduism.

Everyone is an Aghori!
Aghoris are devotees of Lord Shiva. They say that when a human is born he is an Aghori it’s the society that changes him slowly. For example, a baby will play with toys as well as in his filth he has no discrimination between the two. It is the parents who teach him or her to differentiate between the two.
The kids are born fearless and they are innocent it is the world that makes them otherwise. The Aghori is basically trying to make people realize that all that we have made around us is an illusion. We must go back to our original form that is Aghori and if we follow them then everyone can have the same power as them!

The Famous Aghori: Trailanga Swami
Trailanga Swami is hailed as very powerful by the people of the locality. Records say that he was slapped and driven out of the Kasi Viswanath temple by a priest when he was worshipping and performing a puja on the sculpture of Lord Shiva using his own excreta. History says that Lord Shiva himself appeared in the dream of the local king of Benaras and complained about the insult meted out to Trailanga Swami, and also revealed that the swami was an incarnation of his holiness himself. The priest was also found dead mysteriously, later.
hi folks, not directly linked to agyhoris but i want to share a "tecnique" of preparing cannabis before smoking it is " rubbing the flower with making it little damp, rubbing and rubbing" then filling it in the chillum or cigarates.
we all know that we shdnt touch the flower much as tch would be wasted by sticking around.
but despite this theory.
the indian way wich is rubbing it makes us high with LESS material.
i always used dry flower not touching it much only grinding. i had to use 3 cigarates to get buzz..
but by the INDIAN METHOD it takes just 1
This is very interesting @yazad, why do you think this tradition started? How do they damp it and why?
When you say rub it, do they rub it together with the tobacco, or just rub the weed itself?
If it's a youtube video it's easy, just click on the icon above where you type that looks like camera film it's to the left of the plus + icon and looks like this
