Sadhus are Real and Awesome



If you know what a Sadhu is, you are either from India, Hindu, or a nerd!

Here's the scoop, Sadhus are ascetics in various sects of the Hindu religion. Technically, they have achieved the first three goals of Hinduism (Karma, artha and dharma.) What they actually do is voluntary go homeless, practice yoga til they are like a Jedi, "accidentally" stop wearing clothes, eat food donations from the lay people, and SMOKE THAT KUSH.

I'm not making this up. Most Sadhus start an apprenticeship of sorts, following an old-ass one, in their late teens-early20s. Few start later because of some financial, family, or spiritual issues they find untenable.

How sweet is this?

  • No clothes,
  • Free Indian Food (which is awesome if you've never had it)
  • Permission to grow/accept weed and smoke it in public, in a wooden pipe!
  • No Haircuts
  • Face Paint
  • Strong as hell, b/c you get to do yoga a lot

That looks good to me. I wonder if I can be one here in the hood, if I convert. Soon I will upload an electronic petition for me to be a Hood Sahu. I think that this has that making of a [legend feel] war with a country with a billion people. No racial fellas, no racial; I just really like the Sadhu way, it's too chill. Especially the wooden ice they all have...
