Pranam
1 Agora: is a sadhu tribe adopting Siva postures when parted from
Parvathi. Aghora (अघोर):—One of the five aspects of Śiva, known
collectively as the Pancha brahmaas. They are emanations from the
*niṣkala*-Śiva.
According to the "Rūpamaṇḍana" ( book in Amazon), the face of Aghora should
be of terrific look, set with three yellow coloured eyes and the mouth
having side tusks; on the head there should be a garland of human skulls
and a snak, and snake ornaments everywhere; two snakes serving as the
ear-rings, two others as *keyūras*, one as *hāra*, one as *yajñopavīta*,
one as *kaṭisūtra* (the waist-zone), the snakes Takṣa and Puṣṭika as
anklets, and so on; there should also be a garland composed of scorpions (
*vṛśchika*). The colour of the body of Aghora should be blue like the
*nīlotpala*, and that of the *jaṭās*, yellow, and these should be adorned
with the crescent moon. The general look of this aspect of Śiva should
resemble that of Kāla (the god of death) and appear as though terrifying a
host of enemies. The left hands should bear in them the *khaṭvāṅga*, the
*kapāla*, the *kheṭaka *and the *pāśa *while the right ones, the *triśūla*,
the *paraśu*, the *khaḍga *and the *daṇḍa*. The *Śrītatvanidhi* gives
somewhat different description. For Aghora should have, according to this
work, four; each of these faces should have three eyes; the colour of
Aghora should be blue. This face ought to point to the southern direction.
There should be the *paraśu*, *veda *(a book?), *aṅkuśa*, *pāśa*, *śūla*,
*kapāla*, *ḍhakka *and *akṣamālā *in the hands of Aghora. 2) Aghora
(अघोर):—Second of the twelve emanations of Rudra, according to the
*Rūpamaṇḍana*.
Saivites worship agora as a-Gora; Aghora: अघोर “Nonterrifying.” An
aspect of Śiva which, like Rudra, personifies of His power of dissolution
or reabsorption. Ghora means “terrific, frightful, terrible, etc. Aghora
(अघोर) refers to one of the five faces of Sadāśiva that revealed the Āgamas
(sacred texts).—According to the *sṛṣṭikrama* method mentioned in the
Uttarakāmikāgama, “Vijayāgama, Niśvāsāgama, Svāyambhuvāgama, Anala and
Vīrāgama are from the face called Aghora”. According to the
*saṃhārakrama* mentioned
in the Pūrvakāraṇāgama, “Vijayāgama, Niśvāsāgama,
Svāyambhuvāgama, Anala and Vīrāgama are from the face called Aghora”. Aghorā
(अघोरा) refers to one of the six Goddesses (*parā-ṣaṭka*) associated with
Jālandhara (which is in the southern quarter), according to the
Manthānabhairavatantra.—[...] The six Goddesses (*parā-ṣaṭka*): Jālāvvā,
Tīvrā, Tīkṣṇā, Caṇḍikā, Aghorā, Amarā. 4) Aghora (ऊर्ध्वकेश) refers to one
of the eight Bhairavas also associated with Jālandhara.—[...] The eight
Bhairavas: Ruru, Kāla, Bahurūpa, Pracaṇḍaka, Tryambaka, Tripurānta,
Ūrdhvakeśa, Aghora. Aghora is mentioned in the Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavatam as a
"Divine Great weapon":“At their request, I called in my mind the Divine
Great weapon, named Aghora, beautiful and terrible and containing the
strength of all the Devas, to kill him. It was inconceivable and it was
blazing with fire.” and “For full divine one thousand years I remained
awake with eyelids wide open in thinking of the Aghora weapon, the
destroyer of all obstacles, whereby the killing of Tripurāsura might be
effected and the troubles of the Devas be removed. ” (*S.D.B., Book 11,
Chapter 4).*
The Aghora-mantra itself mentions three for ms of the god: the
undreadful or benign (*aghora*), the dreadful (*ghora*) and the more
dreadful than the dreadful (*ghoraghoratara*) . Aghora: Represents Jñāna
Śaktī(Infinite Knowledge). It is function of Prakṛti (nature, consort of
Shiva) and Parā Śaktī. This face of Śiva is Buddhi rūpa (Intellect).
Represents Pūrṇagiri Pīṭha. Banaliṅgam. One billion (100,00,000) mantras
are trying to describe this face of Śiva. Smoke(Dhumra varṇa) in color. It
represents our balanced aspect of Ahaṃkāra Tattva (our ego nature). Mixture
of Prāmaṇa and Prameya. It represents the forces of Rudra.
Pañcānana: In Hindu Mythology God Śiva has five faces. Pāśupata
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/pashupata#purana> teachers had
developed a special doctrine of Pañca-Brahma
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/pancabrahma#hinduism> in which they
ascribed five faces to Śiva symbolising the five elements (Liṅga
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/linga#purana>. 2. 14. 1. 33., *ŚP* 1.
10. 1-9). It is stated that Śiva has the form of twenty-five tattvas
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/tattva#shaivism> symbolised by his
five faces as follows:
*N. of faces* *Mūrtis

Śiva in the Elephanta

Thereafter, O great goddess, a devotee should proceed to the excellent
Aghoreśvara. It is the sixth Liṅga
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/linga#purana> and its face is
remembered as Bhairava
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/bhairava#purana> (terrible). Its
shrine is situated to the north-west of Tryaṃbakeśvara within a distance of
five *Dhanus <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/dhanus#purana>*. It is
meritorious. It bestows all desires. It is destructive of the sins of Kali
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kali#purana> Age. A man who adores it
devoutly by means of ablution, eulogy etc, in due order, shall get the
entire fruit of the gift of Meru
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/meru#purana>. 4. Depending on
Dakṣiṇāmūrti <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/dakshinamurti#hinduism>
everything
that is offered there to Lord Aghoreśvara shall be everlasting. 5-7. If a
devotee performs Śrāddha
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/shraddha#purana> to the south of
Aghoreśvara, the Pitṛs <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/pitri#purana> so
propitiated remain happy for a Kalpa
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kalpa#purana>. Of what avail is
*Śrāddha* at Gayā Tīrtha
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/gayatirtha#purana>, O my beloved? Of
what avail is a horse-sacrifīce? By performing Śrāddha there, all these
benefits and even more are obtained. He who offers even a bit of gold
during the pilgrimage, obtains abundant fruit of a great act of charity. 8-9.
He who performs Brahmakūrca in accordance with the injunctions on the
eighth lunar day on a Monday in the vicinity of Aghoreśvara uttering *Aghora
Mantra <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/aghoramantra#purana>*[1]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/the-skanda-purana/d/doc626880.html#note-e-163188>
gets the fruit of performing *Prāyaścitta
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/prayashcitta#purana>* (expiation) for
six years. Thus the great glory of Aghoreśa has been briefly spoken. The
greatness is destructive of all sins. If listened to it accomplishes all
objectives.{ *aghorebhyo’ tha ghorebhyo* etc.—*Taitt. Āraṇyaka* XVII.3.}

bipeds and quadrupeds.”
Q5 Vishnu sahasranamam in Mahabharatham, I mentioned a few days back,
as NOT OPENING WITH SUKLAMBARATHARAM.
Anusasana parva starts like this" SECTION CXLIX "Vaisampayana said, 'Having
heard all the duties in their entirety and all those sacred acts and
objects that cleanse human beings of their sins. Yudhishthira once more
addressed the son of Santanu in the following words.'
"Yudhishthira said, "Who may be said to be the one god in the world? Who
may be said to be the one object which is our sole refuge? Who is he by
worshipping whom or hymning whose praises human being would get what is
beneficial? What religion is that which, according to thy judgment, is the
foremost of all religions? What are those Mantras by reciting which a
living creature becomes freed from the bonds of birth and life?'
"Bhishma said, 'One should always, with alacrity and throwing away all
languor, hymn the praises of that Lord of the universe, that god of gods (
*viz*., Vasudeva), who is Infinite and the foremost of all Beings, by
uttering His thousand names. By always worshipping with reverence and
devotion that immutable Being, by meditating on him, by hymning His praises
and bowing the head unto Him, and by performing sacrifices unto Him, indeed
by always praising Vishnu, who is without beginning and without end or
destruction, who is the Supreme Lord of all the worlds, and who is the
Master and Controller of the universe, one can succeed in transcending all
sorrow.
