Samashan (Cremation Ground)

Summary

The Aghori laboratory for confronting the fear of death. Practitioners meditate among funeral pyres to train themselves to 'die while still alive'—adopting the mental and physical indifference of a corpse. Digestive processes slow, sexual arousal ceases, and external shocks trigger no response. This conditioning aims to strip away primal mortality fear and remove death's absolute power over consciousness.
