Where beauty ends, reality begins…after all it’s the same ugly skeleton that lies underneath the most beautiful person and the most ugly person. It is the same ugly reality that you face when you cut open the body of any person. So this time for a change, change your route from search for beauty to search for reality. Come and witness the shocking yet divine reality of some lives in India. The cheap holiday packages can help you get there without any hurdles. The cheap holiday packages in India help you get organized with your travels in this mystical land.
India is the oldest in its civilisation and culture. Her soil bears the footprints of the aryans, greeks, parthians, turks, afghans, mughals, portugese, french, dutch and english. This five thousand year old subcontinent has witnessed the whispers and cries of joy and sorrow of many. Her palaces, monuments, temples, mosques, churches and various other buildings have numerous stories to tell. The list of arrivals on her shores are innumerable. With these arrivals came new cultures and new ways of living, out of which many have been washed away by the waves of time…yet some have broken apart the chains of time and survived till date.
One such cult that has survived amidst all the changes without fading away are the Aghori Sadhus.Aghori Sadhus are a sect dedicated to Lord Shiva. They practice cannibalism and drink liquor on regular basis which seperates them from other preists and saints. They live in the cemetry (“smashanas”-abode of Lord Shiva) which is also symbolic of the fact that cemetry is the final destination of all human beings. Many aghoris roam around naked on the streets which is symbolic of true human form.
They eat in the kappala(skull cup) and drink liqour. They eat almost anything from left over food in the garbage to animal faecal matter to animal urine to even rotten human flesh!!… everything in this universe is an expression of Lord Shiva and therefore denial of anything on this universe is denial of God/the almighty himself. According to them every body with emotions is ‘shava’ and by overcoming these emotions one can become ‘shiva’. They have to sit on a dead and maybe rotten corpse and meditate…theirs is a journey from ‘shava’(dead body) to ‘shiva’(enlightenment).
The cheap holiday packages in India can help you reach these places. The aghoris are believed to possess such magical powers- they could cause rains or prevent them, but they will not use these powers as they believe that they should not interfere in the natural balance on this earth. They predict things and whatever they say comes true. They can heal people of diseases using their powers. These are the disturbing truths, the reality I was talking about. Whether there is reality in this reality or is it just an illusion I will leave it you to decide.
