Welcome to this immersive episode of the MBAyogaGuru Podcast, where we dive deep into the mysterious, controversial, and deeply spiritual world of the Aghoris ascetics who walk the path few dare to even imagine.
Who are the Aghoris?
Why do they live near cremation grounds? Why do they use skulls in rituals? Are their practices a form of spiritual transcendence or misunderstood madness? In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Prof. VKJ, a management professor and yogic scholar, helps us unpack these ancient truths with clarity and reverence.
In this episode, we explore:
Topics Covered:
The historical roots of Aghori tradition – from Kapalikas to Keenaram Baba
The spiritual symbolism of skulls, bones, and cremation rituals
Real reasons why Aghoris meditate at Manikarnika Ghat
The philosophy behind dispassion (vairagya) and detachment
How Aghoris transcend lust, fear, and ego through extreme practices
Baba Keenaram’s connection with Lord Dattatreya and mystical reincarnation
Role of cremation grounds in spiritual enlightenment
Deep insights on the debate between cremation vs. burial in Indian traditions
How modern individuals can apply Aghori lessons without renouncing the world
What Can You Learn?
