A
sadhu in
Kathmandu,
Nepal, performing a blessing. Sadhus are
Hindu ascetic practitioners of
yoga (
yogi) who have given up pursuit of the first three Hindu goals of life:
kama (enjoyment),
artha (practical objectives) and even
dharma (duty). The sadhu is solely dedicated to achieving
moksha (liberation) through meditation and contemplation of
God.
