This must be the craziest cult out there
The Aghoris distinguish themselves from other Hindu sects and priests by their alcoholic and cannibalistic rituals (see necro-cannibalism). The corpses, which may be either pulled from a river [including Ganges] or obtained from cremation grounds, are consumed both raw and cooked on open flame, as the Aghoris believe that what others consider a "dead man" is, in fact, nothing but a natural matter devoid of the life force it once contained. Therefore while for ordinary people cannibalism may be seen as primitive, barbaric as well as unclean, for aghoris it is being both resourceful and subverting the common stereotypes placed on such taboos into a spiritual ascertainment that indeed nothing is profane nor separate from God, who is hailed to be all and in all. In fact, the Aghoris see it as a scientific approach in trying to discover how matter converts from one form to another.[8] An eyewitness account is offered by Swami Rama, who observed an Aghori baba transmute the flesh from a dead human body floating in the river into a vegetarian sweet - the Aghori maintained that he is actually purely vegetarian in diet, demonstrating that he actually transmutes the flesh into vegetarian meals.[9] According to Swami Rama's account, the Aghori also demonstrated the ability to heal wounds instantly, to transmute a rock into a sugar cube, and sand into almonds and cashews.[10]

Very strange, disgusting and magical all in one... btw pico, I've been wondering what the hell your avatar is from and what the meaning of it is exactly? Can you explain?Comment -
We are only against cannibalism because people have told us to do so - the same way that the majority are against prostitution, drugs, gambling, etc.
Meat is meat. Does it matter if it comes from a cow, pig, bird, fish, or human?Comment
