Meet the holymen of India:
In Hinduism, a sadhu, swami, sanyasi is someone who has renounced the material world in exchange for a spiritual path. They typically live away from society in mountains, caves, forests and ashrams – especially in the Himalayas, and the holy pilgrimage sites.
I have connections with many sadhu across India, from Brahmin priests in Rishikesh to the spectacular aghori baba of Varanasi, Buddhist monks and wandering yogis of the Himalayas. We can meet some of them on our journey.
