Aghornath er Tantrakatha by Sabyasachi Sengupta [Hardcover]

‘Aghoranath-er Tantrakatha’— A Journey into the Mystical World of Tantra

The life of Sabyasachi Sengupta is nothing short of an adventure—filled with incredible, almost unbelievable experiences. One day, the depths of mystery called him to the cremation grounds, and from that moment, his journey took an extraordinary turn.

From Khirnahar, Amodpur, and Akalipur to the legendary Manikarnika Ghat in Kashi, he wandered through cremation sites, immersed in the enigmatic world of Tantra. He observed the secretive lives of Tantric practitioners up close and even took part in their arduous rituals. Among the Dom community of these sacred grounds, he was known as Chhoto Gosai, following in the footsteps of the great Aghoris.

In ‘Aghoranath-er Tantrakatha’, the intensity of life unfolds through the presence of mysterious women like Gauri, Moyna Bagdi, Sohag, Natibidyutlata, and Bhramar. Stories like that of the urban woman searching for Navaneel in the dense cremation grounds of Baghmundi Hills, or the legend of Asman Gazi in Jheeldanga, leave an unforgettable impact. Readers are bound to be entranced by the Santhal Tantric Bapumoni Soren and his forbidden ritual of vine-worship with the dead.

This book is a thrilling and intense account of a life that sought the ultimate unknown—a journey into the depths of mysticism, faith, and the esoteric practices of Tantra.
