INDIA a sadhu or santone Indian. The induisti consider that the objective of the life is the moksha; the liberation from the illusion (Mayan); the end of the cycle of the reincarnations and the dissolution in the divine one; the fusion with the cosmic conscience. Such objective is reached very rarely in the course of the present life. The sadhu (from the sanscrito "man well; sant'uomo") it chooses; in order to accelerate this process and to realize it in this life; to live a holiness life. The sadhu they are you anticipate in India from thousands of years; perhaps from the prehistory in which the their role he would have been similar to that of the sciamano. One generally considers that they form 0.5% of the Indiana population; that is quattro-cinque million people. The sadhu they are of renouncing; they cut every tie with their family; they do not possess nothing or little things; they are dressed with a longhi: a tunica; of color saffron for the shivaiti ones; yellow or white for the visnuiti ones; that the holiness symbolizes; and sometimes with some necklace; does not possess nothing and passes their life to move itself on the roads of India and the Nepal; nourishing itself of gifts of the devout people. The sadhu shivaiti cospargono their body with the ash; symbol of died and rebirth; to image and likeness of Shiva; carries the extremely long hair. The devozione of the sadhu to Shiva or Visnu is recognized from the traditional signs that sometimes carry on own forehead and from the color of their garments.
