This new and completely redesigned edition surveys the myriad holy men, mystics and ascetics of India: their prehistoric origins; beliefs, gods and sects; initiation, training and daily lives; appearance, practices and belongings; sacred places and festivals; austerities, the inner fire and the quest for a higher plane of being. It is a vibrant, arresting and carefully curated gallery, taking in long-haired sages, devotees of Shiva, Vishnu and Brahman, naked wanderers, silent hermits, holy warriors, painted showmen, mantra-chanting yogis, ash-clad madmen, and seekers after and pathways to Enlightenment. Dolf Hartsuiker’s expert explanations, wry comments and striking, revealing photos bring to life the mysterious and varied lives of the Sadhus.
Dolf Hartsuiker is a psychologist, artist and traveller with a doctorate in psychology from the University of Utrecht. He divides his time between the Netherlands and India.
