Aghoris go in search of divine powers through which they can avoid the punarjanma (rebirth) for the soul in this birth and if attained the power can bless other souls as well. The tantric practices that they follow to achieve this are more daring and averse but has its own purpose in their own regards. To them everything is pure and they are void of the illusion that the common man has.
Meditating over the corpses will let them feel the soul of it and then feeds on the flesh as they believe the indifference in the human and animal flesh , in fact this is the most key ritual in attaining the god. They are used to take animal faces and urination, Ayurvedic medication. They excel in Yoga, the yoga postures that they practice are so difficult.
They use human skulls as food bowls and even use them as idol for meditating. Applying the human ash all over the body insisting that death is ultimate and the other feelings joy, sorrow, pride are just a false impression.

A foreigner who had a chance to meet an Aghora says that the night he roamed with him was full of anxiety and terrifying. Later Knowing that they used to have human brain essence with drinks he was glad that he has shunned the tea offered by him.

There are lot many, Which need not to be mentioned. Many accuses them that these are uncivilized act of cannibalism. But this is an act of tantrism, a way in pursuit of God, Nothing wrong in it at all. Though they are drunken and drugged their eyes are fierce even a glance at them would infiltrate fear and sacred feel in you. If you accept the way of Sadhus in pursuit of God then you gotto accept this as well. Peoples follow many rituals in their own religion, this is one such kind. Fakes are everywhere, Aghoris are no exceptional. Some disguise themselves as aghoris and do things that are not tolerable and few has been confined for their crimes. These crooks stains not only the name of aghoris but the holy tantrism.
