Aghora: At The Left Hand Of God

Description

Robert E. Svoboda collects the spiritual widom of an esoteric practitioner of the ancient discipline of Aghora, who goes by the name of Vimalananda, Written as a first-person account, the book records Vimalananda's experiences and insights into human nature and the human struggle for spiritual purification. The book abounds with stories of encounters with other spirits, interactions with other practitioners and the training of eager disciples.

A recurrent theme within his practice of Aghora is the exploration of death. Working at the limits of social taboo, the Aghora practitioner, in his somewhat dangerous pursuit, tries to restore the balance in nature and society by developing siddhis or powers. The teaching of Vimalananda tries to balance the practice of Aghora with the deep knowledge of spirituality and faith in one's guru. A fascinating and transformative read, this book will enhance the quest of spiritual seekers.
