yes, this is a classic, I saw it in a class. There is supposedly a new documentary in the making about Aghoris that is supposed to be even more graphic. I didn't think this video was terribly shocking though. it looks like somebody filmed their tv set on this youtube version !

the subtitle makes it sound like a Sunday Night Movie! It was enjoyable to read.

This about as earthy as it gets! It was a fascinating video to watch, so were all the other ones on the site that related to Aghori's. Something about these guys you have to admire though, the ability to stand up to the social noses being turned down on them, the acceptance of all that others revile, hide and stay away from, finding something essential and transcendent in death as part of their spiritual practice.

Wow, imagine if an Aghori guru came across the sea in 1967 and was able to spread the practice in Haight Ashbury to those ready to turn on, tune in and drop out !!!

If you fancy it, Kali, there's a good trilogy of books on the subject by Robert E. Svoboda. The first part is especially informative. A recommended read.
