Some began this way of life from childhood, others were civil servants, shopkeepers, real estate agents, thieves. They left their families and jobs to become renunciants, sadhus. They refuse to work and vow not to accept any wages. They pursue the path of liberation. A few accomplish rigorous austerities, but most of them dedicate themselves to non - action. In a world verging on its short term ecological doom and demographic tsunami, the sadhus are the messengers of a kind of freedom and moderation that our commercial civilization has forgotten, with its preaching of labour, consumption, economic growth and competition.
Patrick Levy recounts their everyday lives, the respect they are given and how they make use of it, their teachings, their philosophy and the way they transform it into a lifestyle. Sadhus - going beyond the dreadlocks is a novel written in the form of a road movie. It is a spiritual journey into the world of sadhus.
