সাধু কাকে বলে ? | Who are Sadhus by K K Sarkar

Sadhu is a religious ascetic, mendicant or any holy person who has renounced the worldly life. They are sometimes alternatively referred to as yogi, sannyasi or vairagi. In the Brahmanas layer of Vedic literature, the term connotes someone who is "well disposed, kind, willing, effective or efficient, peaceful, secure, good, virtuous, honorable, righteous, noble" depending on the context. In the Hindu Epics, the term implies someone who is a "saint, sage, seer, holy man, virtuous, chaste, honest or right". The Sanskrit terms sadhu refer to renouncers who have chosen to live lives apart from or on the edges of society to focus on their own spiritual practices. The words come from the root sadh, which means "reach one's goal", "make straight", or "gain power over". The same root is used in the word sādhanā, which means "spiritual practice". It literally means one who practices a ″sadhana″ or a path of spiritual discipline. Sadhus engage in a wide variety of religious practices. Some practice asceticism and solitary meditation, while others prefer group praying, chanting or meditating. They typically live a simple lifestyle, and have very few or no possessions. They generally walk or travel over distant places, homeless, visiting temples and pilgrimage centers as a part of their spiritual practice.
