proud and vigorous Sadhu

Dedicated to Devendra Pal .

He is a Sadhu not a Sikh. Because of his turban, beard and moustaches he looks like a Sikh but there is huge difference between a Sadhu and a Sikh. Sadhus Are Hindus and Sikhism itself is a different religion. In Hinduism, Sadhu is a common term for a practitioner of yoga and/or wandering monks.

The basic difference is 'Tilak' an auspicious mark of saffron and sandalwood paste on the forehead, You will not see this mark on any Sikh's forehead.
