A Saddhu or Sadhaka is someone who does Sadhana (“spiritual practice”) 24/7/365. Saddhus take vows which include to not have a family and household, to not work for money and to not sleep in one place for more than 3 nights. A Saddhu is devoted to God but/and belongs to a particular face of God. (You might compare this to a monk who is devoted to God but has a particular connection to Mary). The Saddhus who belong to Shiva dress in orange and are pretty ragged in appearance. The Saddhus who belong to Vishnu – the Maintainer – are dressed in white and are much tidier. Today one Saddhu was dressed in Red – that means he belongs to Kali.
