The Young Naga Sadhu-Shiva Mool Mantra
Originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1
I have lived with Naga Sadhus at the Kumbh, shot them extensively, so I am visited by Naga Sadhus from the Junagadh Akhada, this young Naga Sadhu has joined up with a Naga sect in Mount Abu.. He has given up all, his family , and has opted for celibacy.
He had come to my shop with my Naga Sadhu friends the only one who does not allow me to photograph him..They were on their way to Sai Baba of Shirdi and our friends of Balak the Tantric Naga Sadhu..

The Mool Mantra of Lord Shiva is known as the great redeeming mantra also known as five-syllable mantra. Shiva is the supreme reality, the inner Self. It is the name given to consciousness that dwells in all. Shiva is the name of your true identity- your self. In this mantra the chanter (one who repeats the mantra) bow to Shiva- his true self.
