In the mysterious world of Aghoris, what is the truth about their connection with dead bodies?

Aghoris, worshippers of Shiva, claim to gain power by having sex with dead bodies. These sadhus, who live in crematoriums, are known for their bizarre practices and beliefs.

The word Aghori means towards the light. It is considered holy and free from all evils. But Aghori Babas follow a lifestyle opposite to this. Most of their activities are illegal. Aghoris roam around with ashes on their faces, eat raw meat, follow the left path. Along with this, they also have a horrible practice of having physical relations with dead bodies.

Aghoris are worshippers of Shiva and Shakti. They say that surrendering to God even in the worst of circumstances is the simplest way of worship. That is why they have physical relations with dead bodies.

Aghori sadhus worship dead bodies and have physical relations with them. They consider it a way of worshipping Shiva and Shakti. They believe that while having physical relations with a dead body, the mind remains immersed in devotion to God. They have physical relations by applying ash on the dead body, chanting mantras, and playing drums. It is said that having physical relations when women are menstruating increases the power of Aghoris. Aghoris do not follow celibacy like other sadhus. They have physical relations not only with dead.
