| 30. Dhuni
Babas Varanasi, India |
Shiva is a god of countless manifestations and a variety of forms, each famed for certain attributes, deeds and powers. It is from this vast array of symbolic forms encompassing all aspects of existence that the sadhu draws his knowledge and worships Shiva. Thus the paradox: each sadhu's quest is intensely individual and personal, yet their aspiration and goal are one: union with Shiva. |
