Naga Sadhus are famous in Sanatan Dharma for their intense penance and discipline. Their life is dedicated to spirituality and asceticism. These Sadhus renounce worldly pleasures, living a life of meditation and religious propagation. Naga Sadhus don’t wear clothes but instead apply ash (bhasma), which symbolizes their devotion and freedom from worldly bonds.
To become a Naga Sadhu, one must join an akhada. The process is strict and disciplined, involving the renunciation of worldly possessions and relationships during initiation. The initiation includes rigorous penance, chanting mantras, and religious rituals under the guidance of a guru.
