27-Aghor Shiv

Aghor Shiv is the fiercest form of Shiv and is the middle form in the Panch Mukh Shiv concept. Aghor Shiv faces the South and represents the destructive and regenerative aspect of Shiv, which first absorbs all life and then renovates the universe by creating things afresh.

The term Aghor has two meanings - one, who is not fierce meaning the handsome; and the other meaning is the fiercest. It is for a devotee to decide how he wants to approach Aghor Shiv. For his devotees who follow Dharm Aghor Shiv is the handsome. For those who tread the path of A-Dharm, he is the fiercest. The term Aghor first appears in the portion dedicated to Shiv in the Atharv Ved.
