What does SADHU mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian English
A Hindu holy man or ascetic who has renounced ordinary life to pursue religious devotion.
A sadhu typically gives up home, family, and possessions, living instead on alms and devoting his time to prayer, meditation, and pilgrimage. Many sadhus wear simple saffron robes and carry only a few basic items, marking their break from ordinary household life. Sadhus are a familiar sight at Hindu festivals and pilgrimage sites across India, where pilgrims often seek their blessing. The path of a sadhu is recognized within Hindu tradition as one legitimate stage of spiritual life, distinct from that of an ordinary householder.
