 | | The yellow robe was the "uniform" of a Hindu sadhu, traditionally an ascetic devoted to the gods, who either begged his way along the roads or sat, silent, remote, and often filthy, meditating in the jungle or some lonely place. | | | The Sadhu: a Study in Mysticism and Practical Religion. | | | Sundar Singh's mother took him week by week to sit at the feet of a Sadhu, an ascetic holy man, who lived in the jungle some miles away, but she also sent him to a Christian mission school where he could learn English. |

| | In Hinduism, a sadhu is a common term for a renounced ascetic or practitioner of yoga (yogi) who has given up pursuit of the first three Hindu goals of life: kama (pleasure), artha (wealth and power) and even dharma (duty). | | | Then sadhus will gather around the dhuni, the holy fireplace and begin with their prayers and meditation for the day. | | | It is also thought that the austere practices of the sadhus helps to burn off their karma and that of the community at large. |

| | Sadhu Sundar Singh's ministry is a challenge to rethink and reorganize the patterns of Christian spirituality. | | | The face of Christ seen by the Sadhu in ecstasy with his spiritual eyes is the same that he saw at his conversion with bodily eyes. | | | The significance of prayer, Bible Study and meditation should be rediscovered in the present context for relating them to the servant hood and the prophetic ministry of the church. |
