Nagas Sadhus (Baba)


In Hinduism, sadhu ( “good man, holy man”) denotes an ascetic, wandering monk. Although the vast majority of sadhus are yogis, not all yogis are sadhus. The sadhu is solely dedicated to achieving moksa (liberation), the fourth and final asrama (stage of life), through meditation and contemplation of brahman. Sadhus often wear ochre-colored clothing, symbolizing their sanyasa (renunciation). This way of life is open to women; the female form of the word is sadhvi. Sadhus are sanyasi, or renunciation, who have left behind all material and sexual attachments and live in caves, forests and temples all over World.

Kumbh Mela or the Kumbh festival invites millions of tourist, pilgrims and foreign national to be the part of this glory of history that hindu religion has to offer human kind. However, not only kumbh festival the major crowd puller to this religious event are Sadhus and Naga baba. These naga baba attracts the attention of all due to their rare appearance and their extra ordinary rituals.
Travelers from round the globe drop in to be a part of Kumbh Mela or Kumbh festival inorder to have a glance of these Naga sadhus meditate and perform the weird religious and spiritual activities. Naga Sadhus belongs to different Akharas (which means camps) and each akharash have their own set of Naga Babas who are living this world in most unconventional way and follow their own set of religion and spiritual activities without caring about this world.
The identification feature of Naga Sadhus include being naked with long hairs knotted with different metals and body smeared with ashes.

Really our body will destroy one day. Any how we live with maya means nothing. They are really great far above the thinking we preserve in bonding.

What wonderful post. As a kid these scared me a little but not anymore. We come on this planet and we will end in ashes one day, taking with nothing.. The nothingness is the life of these sadhus. End to life and death and rebirth and cycle goes on..on..on to attain Moksha will end this cycle. I sitting at home can only wish I can too feel just a little like a sadhu after looking at these pictures. Cause I'm envious that these sadhus will definitely attain Moksha. Om Namah Shivaya
