It has been a year since this book Sadhus: Holy Men of India by Dolf Hartsuiker has been published. The truth is, I haven't read this book. Nor do I have the resources to make a purchase.
What interested me about this book was that of course, my spiritual bent of character but also that I loved an excerpt from the website. I was browsing or Googling How to become a sadhu or something. Dolf's website was the first link for the keyword.
I kept on reading a lot of information and his personal experiences with Sadhus were quite interesting. The ash-smearing, hash smoking, corpse eating sadhus are fascinating subjects to read about. I do want to buy the book. I hope I can, sometime. I also enjoy reading about the real life experiences of or with sadhus.
They are strange men and understanding them is beyond human comprehension. Books like Aghora by Robert Svoboda and "Sadhus: Holy Men of India" make the process easy and take us closer to the world of Sadhus. Reading books as these, lead to profound understanding of spirituality, our lives and our selves (the self).
Dolf Hartsuiker has written one more book on Sadhus titled "Sadhus: India's Mystic Holy Men". I would want to read these books someday. I should say, these are "want to read" books.
I also found another book that interested me about Sadhus. The title Sadhus and Shamans could draw a lot of interest. Written by Swati Chopra, the title is great. It marries both the East and the West and draws both the worlds toward the book.This is surely one of my "want to read" books.
Please let me know of books that you would want to read, you would want me to read and review and post about. Thank you! Keep reading! :)
