Lately
when I was browsing, few pics of ascetic naked men smeared with ashes,
bearing beard till ground level with huge turbines of hair, clasping
chillum in hand, wearing garlands of rudraksha.....caught my sight....
Naga Sadhus.....I have seen them many times in many media but never felt curious and conceded as some fancy group of saints.
But
when I digged up.......learnt that they are called Naga sadhus who are
true saints pledged to attain Moksha......and they lead the auspicious
Kumbh Mela every 12 years.
When
I digged up more to learn naga sadhu’s origin, history, and importance
of their presence in Kumbh Mela, none of the source I surfed in the
internet provided satisfied information. Please post me if you are aware
of more information....
I too could not find much on naga sadhus on net, but videos on youtube
