Aghor Mantra Diksha refers to a formal spiritual initiation into the Aghora tradition of Hindu Tantra, given by a qualified guru (spiritual teacher) to a disciple. The word breaks down as follows:
- Aghor: From the Sanskrit “A” (not) + “Ghora” (terrible, fearsome), meaning “not terrible,” “non-fearful,” or “beyond fear.” It refers to a state of consciousness that transcends dualities like good and evil, pure and impure.
- Mantra: A sacred sound or phrase with spiritual potency.
- Diksha: Initiation; a ritual or ceremony where a guru transmits spiritual energy and teachings to the disciple.
