Though I am an Indian,
\nsadhus of India are a mystery to me too.
\nThey are very peaceful in nature
\nthough they can become quite agitated
\nand ready to defend whatever few possessions
\nthey may have, in any manner whatsoever.
\nBut these are very few and rare cases.
\nThe law or the police finds no reason
\nto be troubled by these poor
\nand it should be that way. <\/p>\n
They should be left alone in peace
\nand their endless search of God and salvation
\nfrom one pilgrimage to another
\nall over our vast country India.
\nA lot of them have families
\nthat they have left behind
\nand we are nobody to pass judgement on this issue.
\nDressed in saffron or orange cheap clothes,
\nthey wander in villages and cities
\nand travel in buses and trains,
\nfree of charge mostly.
\nA lot of them smoke cheap cigarettes, bidees,
\nganja or hashish, and take a drink or two occasionally. <\/p>\n
Yes, you should maintain an absolute safe distance,
\nbut I will still vouch for them and I will say that
\nthey are harmless monks who beg for alms and small time money
\nand move on pretty quickly
\neven if they are given just a one rupee coin.
\nMisunderstood, abused and harried more than necessary,
\nthey should at least be allowed their quest of
\nminimal living and search of the Almighty. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
