The word Aghor literally means, that which is not difficult or terrible. Aghor, Aughad, Kapalik, Aghori, Aughar, Avadhoot mean the same. They indicate one which is simple and natural state of consciousness. Spiritually does not require any special knowledge, faith, worship or ritual. All it requires is inspiration, determination and perseverance and patience. There is no place for feelings of fear, hatred, disgust or discrimination in the eyes of an Aghor. Aghor with constant practice when the soul is established in that state, such a person becomes an Avadhoot regardless of his path. An Aghoreshwar is an Avadhoot who has gone through all the various stages of Aghor and they have returned to the society for the benefit of others. Even though an Aghoreshwar remains above and beyond all social and material illusions, distinctions, and categories, he can bring many social reforms into effect. Realizing his divine nature, retaining the carefree, unattached. Aghor state of being, he may have at the same time the appearance of one observing the contemporary social norm rather than a recluse. The term Aghor goes back to the farthest reaches of time. One of the five faces of Shiva (Pashupati) was known as Aghor. The word is as oldest legends, there is a hymn to the glory of SHIVA PURANA one of HINDU`S oldest legends, there is a hymn to the glory of Shiva by Pushpadanta, head of the Gandharvas, called the SHIVA MAHIMA STOTRAM. One of its verses is “AGHORANNA PARO MANTRA NASTI TAT TWAM GURO PARAM.”
The very name of Aghor is a mantra that is above all other mantras. There is nothing higher to be known than the real nature of the Aghor Guru. This was lord Dattatreya. Many other saints and mahatmas who embodied this Aghor state arose at their destined times in history, while at other time the Lineage became to be communicated in Guru-Disciple relationships. They lived alone, in seclusion. They lived in the caves in mountains. For some, their search to be alone drew them to cremation grounds where people go for a little time only. How ever a Aghor Sanyasi , Aughad , Avadhoot is under no such limitation. He does dismantle such boundaries. Take the Lord Buddha who also did Aghor Sadhana. He set up a new order suited to those time climate. He spoke with crystal clarity. Just as we need a modern physician and a modern ruler, we need modern Aghor saints and Aghor Gurus who prescribe what is relevant to the time. It is their prescription that will work. Such men are born in every age, in every society, in every religion. They know no boundaries, no limitations. They wear no threads, observe no rituals. They are neither attached, nor limitations. They are beyond purity and impurity. The timeless lineage of Aghor Siddhas in Nepal and India has been flowing like the Ganges of wisdom from time immemorial. Pashupati Area (Kathmandu) and Kashi is known as the City of Shiva. This lineage of the Aghor Siddhas of Kashi has emanated from Lord Shiva himself. This lineage has produced unparalleled spiritual giants at various times. In Nepal Aghoracharya was the first known Siddha at the time of Aghor Bhairavacharya in kasha
