Aghora..!!! who, what how???

Aghora (literally, "non-terrifying") is the spiritual path that seeks to negate all that is ghora ("terrible, terrifying") in life. The ghora encompasses all those experiences that most people find intolerable, for almost everyone is as ready to enjoy life's pleasures as they are to avoid misery. Most spiritual advisers admonish their devotees to shy away from the ghora, but aghoris (practitioners of Aghora) embrace the ghora fervidly, for what most terrifies an aghori is the prospect of becoming mired in duality. Aghoris go so far into the ghora that the ghora becomes tolerable to them; diving deeply into darkness, an aghori finally surfaces into light. No means to awakening is too disgusting or frightening for an aghori, for Aghora is the Path of the Shadow of Death, the path that forcibly separates an individual from attachment to every ordinary self-descriptor.

Aghora's temple is the smashan (cremation ground), where aghoris worship death, the Great Transformer, with a savage, all-consuming love. Those who are enslaved by their cravings think aghoris mad for displaying such ferocity in their quest for knowing. They condemn Aghora's outwardly repugnant practices because they cannot see beneath their ritual skin. If they could but peep into an aghori's heart they would find there an ache for Reality so fierce that no means could be too extreme to achieve it. This ache drives the divine fury, the passionately unrestrained non-attachment to absolutely everything, that is Aghora's hallmark. Aghoris earn their illumination by incinerating themselves moment by moment in their own internal fires, laughingly consuming any substance and performing any activity that might further enkindle their awareness. They seize every moment of life that God offers to them, even a trip to the toilet, as a fresh opportunity to surrender to the One. Good aghoris takes their temples with them as they wander the world, ceaselessly amazed to witness the universe consuming itself in the fires of an ongoing cosmic cremation.

Aghora like alchemy substitutes for a set recipe of self-development an outline whose details differ for each practitioner. Each aghori and his customs are unique, and in truth all one aghori has in common with another is their degree of intensity and determination. Aghoris become so desperate in their quests that they channel their every thought and feeling into a super-obsession, a single-minded quest to achieve the Beloved. They endeavor eternally to dismember their restricted selves fully, that God may have a free hand to re-member them completely. They die day by day while they are still alive, that by dying to their limitations they can be reborn into the eternal life of Reality.

Brahmanandam…. born to make u laugh…

lazyyyyyyyy

Feeling Lazy... I wish i am spiderman, and take my T-shirt from that corner of the room..... :)

whats love before and after break up....

U think love is in the air.. Later, u feel oxygen is more important and suffocate without.

.

When u take ur girl frnds name, the roses blush and hence turn red.. But later u realise they are red naturally..

By the time u know the definition of infactuation, you must've got ur break up certificate..

Love is a different world and live there for awhile.. Love is the only emotion which can be felt in heart, u find antonyms for all emotions but not for love... Later u find hatred as its opposite term, but u dont know where to express it...

U feel u r in love, later u find that u r on earth...

Mom and dad, if they scold u, u feel sad and express the same with some addins to ur lover.. Later u find they are more sweet than ur lover's praising words and just shutup and move on..

So frnd my say for u is, be practical, there is nothing called love.. Though available, its just another emotion, like happy, sad, joy....! Move on, this is life, it is like a train not a platform

Love and chemistry

Biological models of sex tend to view love as a mammalian drive, much like hunger or thirst.

A leading expert in the topic of love, divides the experience of love into three partly overlapping stages: lust, attraction, attachment...

Lust exposes people to others; romantic attraction encourages people to focus their energy on mating; Attachment involves tolerating the spouse (or indeed the child) long enough to rear a child into infancy.

1) Lust is the initial passionate sexual desire that promotes mating, and involves the increased release of chemicals such as testosterone and estrogen. These effects rarely last more than a few weeks or months.

2) Attraction is the more individualized and romantic desire for a specific candidate for mating, which develops out of lust as commitment to an individual mate forms.

Recent studies in neuroscience have indicated that as people fall in love, the brain consistently releases a certain set of chemicals, including pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which act in a manner similar to amphetamines, stimulating the brain's pleasure center and leading to side effects such as increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and an intense feeling of excitement. Research has indicated that this stage generally lasts from one and a half to three years.



3) Since the lust and attraction stages are both considered temporary, a third stage is needed to account for long-term relationships. Attachment is the bonding that promotes relationships lasting for many years and even decades. Attachment is generally based on commitments such as marriage and children, or on mutual friendship based on things like shared interests.

It has been linked to higher levels of the chemicals oxytocin and vasopressin to a greater degree than short-term relationships have.Enzo Emanuele and coworkers reported the protein molecule known as the nerve growth factor (NGF) has high levels when people first fall in love, but these return to previous levels after one year
