Reddit reviews Aghora: At the Left Hand of God

Here is your book: Aghora by Robert Svaboda. Why? After looking at some of your comments, I gather that you are interested in the practice of meditation as taught by one of the Buddhist schools, and you are interested in psychedelic experiences, e.g., tripping on 'shrooms until you end up in the hospital. While I am completing a masters in the area of roughly "medieval aesthetics in India" - which will open up new areas of experience for you - if you are willing to work very hard for a while. wikipedia "abhinavagupta" and see what you think as his path included the ritual use of intoxicants. The sufi traditions may have something for you too here are some books.
Probably as well to deconstruct terms like "Eastern philosophy/ers" - Indian Theravada thinkers like Dharmakirti and Nargajuna will be worlds apart from the Mahaayaana views of Chinese let alone Japanese lineages. In fact, Dharmakirti and Nargajuna will have more in common with Hindu Nyaaya philosophy and the theistic idealism of Abhinavagupta than with Chinese Mahaayaana. On that note the book "Perception" by BK Matilal is excellent.

Otherwise smoke a bone, read Alan Watts, TD Suzuki, Robert Persig, Deepak and think you're learning Eastern philosophy - chicks dig guys who know Eastern philosophy.

If you are working in a tantra tradition, you definitely need to be more careful about overdoing it. There are many people who go check into mental hospitals (seriously) because they have gone too far too fast. How long have you been doing your current practice?

I think overdoing it can have negative consequences in any meditation but it is something that one has to be more careful about with some practices more than others. Maybe you want to check out http://www.amazon.com/AGHORA-Left-Hand-God-Aghora/dp/0914732218 Its an incredibly interesting book and you will be able to see the dangers easier. Whatever negativity you have inside of you will get amplified a very large amount and you will feel like you are in hell. You might want to post over in /r/kundalini as well.

Man! I come to r/occult to forget about being forever alone!

Honestly I don't get what is so left hand about banging someone though, sure they claim that it makes you more of an individual or what ever, but plenty of white light magicians fuck like that because they claim that at the moment of orgasm they encounter ego death, the opposite of what most LHP magicians are after.

Some of it reminds me of this


When was that book published by the way?

If you are interested in knowing why Aghoris are the way they are check this book : AGHORA, At the Left Hand of God

>A vessel can only take so much before it over flows. Hindus will tolerate these kind of things up until a point and when it becomes intolerable it will result in a new assertiveness. What path this consciousness will take is unpredictable and therefore this type of situation is best avoided.

Sounds interesting but then there is the "Hindu guilt" which never allows any "overflowing" to happen.
Take an Example of the last NDA rule which was good for this country. Development was taking place. Then India ( majority Hindus ) go and vote the UPA into power. Why ? India shining ? Godhra/Gujarat ?

Why do you think a country that was ruled by NDA a pro Hindu outfit and has a majority Hindu population voted for UPA (twice) ?

You might take offence but what I really feel about our so called Hindu middle class is that they are too preoccupied with life to bother. Once in a while a they wake up and collectively vote for change and then go back to their slumber. It is easy for everyone to say stuff in forums and chat rooms but eventually in reality nothing much happens. If Hindus in the country really desired change then our media/politicans would not be so leftist/'secular'.
