The Holy Sadhus of India

[brag]

The Sadhus of India are the spiritual Creme de la Creme of Hindu society. They may reflect the yearnings of most of us who may not be humble enough to follow such a life-style.

All that is considered good, bad and ugly have their place in Hindu society. Anyone who cares to understand this simple fact of life, also cares to understand the oneness of life and its inter-play as the many.

Life is but an illusion of the imperfect on the perfect. Without one, the other has no real meaning. It is also through the darshan or epiphany of the good, bad and ugly that one gets ripened for enlightenment as the eternal witness.

The Sadhus or living saints of India provide Hindus with inspiration for selfless service, and they remain the power behind sacrifice and penance that result in the enlightenment of man.

Say what you may, but without the full support of all Hindus to the Sadhus for their sacrifice and penance, the formless God may not take human form in a hurry.

The link below provides some most beautiful glimpses of the Sadhus of India. Hopefully, some of us will be inspired to join them some day, as we learn to appreciate the sacrifices that they make.

Some of these pictures were originally intended for bliz105, but as he was banned, I used them as a thread.

Sadhus sow the seeds of the higher good and peace by spiritual and family counseling and the way to liberation/salvation through higher spiritual knowledge. Some are itinerant monks and others you have to seek out.

The Sadhu in the video clip below makes it a little more clear as to how enlightenment happens.

The Sadhus--such beautiful love, service, support and dedication towards the Sadhus for the uplift of man and the welfare of the world. Just to watch the occasion on video is so uplifting. It is unimaginable to think of the day when there will be no Sadhus in India because of modernity?
