I am very sorry to say this, but so-called 'Sadhus' do this regularly. Especially in Varanasi and other ermit places where these type of sadhus abound. They go around smoking dope, and whenever they see a funeral, which has just started burning, or has just finished burning, they break off peieces of the smoldering flesh and eat them.asli_badmash wrote:I have heard of worse things.

Generally the relatives of dead people pay up huge sums of money to them to make them stay away from the funerals. I read this in Time magazine, about 5-6 years back.

I cannot bring myself to 'digest' that funda.Mayavi Morpheus wrote:It is these bodies that the aghori sadhus eat. The funda behind it is that nothing in thsi gods world should disgust the sadhu... I heard that they start with eating shit (just the thought of it is revolting) and end with eating corpses and once they reach that stage, they dont hate anything.

Thats not true. The aghori sadhus dont eat bodies from the funeral pyre, but eat half burnt bodies that drift down ganga. It is a custom among some North Indians that bodies are not allowed to burn completely, instead half burnt bodies are released into river which would be eaten by animals whenever they drift to shore (Just like the parsi cremation where the bodies are left for vultures to eat). It is these bodies that the aghori sadhus eat. The funda behind it is that nothing in thsi gods world should disgust the sadhu... I heard that they start with eating shit (just the thought of it is revolting) and end with eating corpses and once they reach that stage, they dont hate anything.
