Aghora: At the Left Hand of God de Robert E. Svoboda
Not you average book on yoga. It follows the life of the aghori Vimalananda. Aghora is a left form of tantra involving spirts, spells, the dead and kali worship. I really enjoyed reading this. It was good to read something different.
My rating: 3.5, it was better than ok. I liked the book but it might never appeal me enough for a re-read, hence the rating. I still am planning to read the next in the series, Kundalini, as it is yet another intriguing & misunderstood topic.
Back to this book: imagine the weirdest thing you can, ramp the strangeness to 10 to 20 levels higher & yet you might not grasp the weirdness in this book. I have read few books on Yogis but this was way different than, yet, quite similar to them. Am sure that doesn't make sense but that's how this book was. I went in knowing this book will be different but had no idea I'll fail at even my attempt to summarise it. 1 thing is for sure. This isn't for everybody, am not sure who this is for but... Not for everybody. Read this book with an open mind & make your own conclusions. I'll post a detailed review on this soon.
Ps: why on earth doesn't Goodreads have 1/2 star ratings??

> AGHORA I, La voie de la main gauche, de Robert E. Svoboda. — Nous trouvons dans cet ouvrage l’histoire de l’Aghori Vimalananda, adepte de la discipline spirituelle appelée Aghora, apothéose du Tantra, l’art érotique spirituel. Le Tantra a été divisé en deux voies : celle de la Main Gauche et celle de la Main Droite. La Voie de la Main Gauche, l’Aghora, est, selon l’enseignement de Vimalananda, la transformation énergique de l’obscurité en lumière.
« La sexualité est un élément central du Tantra : l’union sexuelle cosmique des dualités universelles. Le but du Tantra est le retour du chercheur à l’état d’existence non différenciée. » La sexualité, pratiquée consciemment et non dans l’identification au désir, peut constituer une voie pour transformer l’énergie sexuelle en énergie spirituelle (voir 3e millénaire n°14 : Énergie et sexualité). Ce livre, constitué principalement d’anecdotes tirées de la vie de Vimalananda, et contées à sa manière (avec souvent une emphase toute "orientale"), invite à la recherche d’une relation entre l’homme et la femme plus harmonieuse, où ces deux pôles s’unissent pour la croissance intérieure de chacun. Ed. du Relié, 1997. 370 p.
