Sabyasachi Sengupta's life is filled with thrilling, unbelievable experiences. One day, he was called by the mysteries of the cremation ground. Leaving his home behind, he spent a significant part of his life moving from one cremation ground to another. He witnessed the mysterious life of tantriks and even participated in arduous tantric practices. From small village cremation grounds like Kurnahar, Amodpur, and Akalipur to the chaos of Varanasi's Manikarnika, he wandered through the world of Aghori tantriks, who were often called "Chhoto Gosaai" by the local doms.

In Aghornather Tantrakatha, Sabyasachi Sengupta presents the intensity of life through stories of remarkable women such as the beautiful Gauri, Moyna Bagdi, Sohag, and Nati Vidyutlata, alongside mystical tales of bizarre characters like Bhramar. A city girl comes to the jungle cremation ground of Baghamandi Hill in search of Navneel, and the haunting tale of Asman Gazi by the Jhiladanga lake leave an indelible mark on the reader. The descriptions of the sorcery by Santali tantrik Bapumani Soren and his rituals with a dead body envelop the reader in a strange, captivating emotion.

This book is a gripping account of a life filled with intense speed and the pursuit of the extraordinary, a life that sought to unravel the mysteries of the unknown.
