• Wordless Wednesdays – The sadhus of Varanasi

  

  I know it’s supposed to be ‘Wordless’ Wednesdays, but I’m going to share more than a word today- on ‘Sadhus’. ‘Sadhus’ or ‘Sanyasis’ are people who have given up all attachments to society – in search of ‘Moksha’ or emancipation, liberation or enlightenment. Sadhus are supposed to be India’s holiest men. However, with so many […]
