They roar naked in Ardh Kumbh, Maha Kumbh, wrap ashes on their body, dance and sing, play Damru Dhapli but disappear as soon as Kumbh ends. What is the truth of the mysterious world of Nagas? Where do these Sadhus come from and where do they disappear, let's know. x.com
Naga Sanyasis live in a cave for a few years and then go to another cave. Due to this it is difficult to find out their exact location. Many of these Sanyasis do penance by wearing clothes and some even naked by staying in a secret place. x.com
Changing caves from one to another and immersed in the devotion of Bhole Baba, these Nagas spend their entire life on herbs and roots. Many Nagas spend years roaming in the forests and are seen in the next Kumbh or Ardh Kumbh. x.com
They travel through the forest paths only late at night. During the journey, these people do not go to any village or city, but camp in the forest & deserted paths. Due to traveling at night & resting in the forest during the day, they are not seen by anyone coming or going to Simhastha.
Some Naga Sadhus go out in groups, while some travel alone. Nagas consume roots, fruits, flowers and leaves during the journey. Naga Sadhus cannot use a bed, cot or any other means to sleep. Even Naga Sadhus are prohibited from sleeping on artificial beds or bedding. x.com
Naga Sadhus sleep only on the ground. This is a very strict rule, which every Naga Sadhu has to follow. Usually these Naga Sanyasis keep their identity hidden. Naga Sadhus have to eat only once a day, including night and day. x.com
That food is also obtained by begging. A Naga Sadhu has the right to take alms from a maximum of seven houses. If he does not get any alms from all the seven houses, then he has to remain hungry. Whatever food is received, it has to be consumed lovingly. x.com
According to the tradition of the sadhus' Akharas, this is a Kotwal of the Akhara. When after completion of initiation, Naga Sadhus leave the Akhara and go to the forest or mountains to do Sadhana, then this Kotwal acts as a link between the Naga Sadhus and the Akharas. x.com
Whenever there are big festivals like Kumbh and Ardh Kumbh, then these Naga Sadhus reach there mysteriously on the information of the Kotwal. Most of the Naga Sadhus of Akharas live in Himalayas, Kashi, Gujarat and Uttarakhand. x.com
If you go on a tour in the hill states, you will see many ashrams or paths. For example, if you go from Rishikesh to Neelkanth, you will see many other temples or monasteries there, Nagas also reside on these hills. x.com
All of them do sadhana in mountains, caves and caverns away from villages or cities. Naga Sanyasis change their place after living in a cave for a few years. x.com
