Description
Mahasiddhas were practitioners of yoga and tantra, or tantrikas, on the path of enlightment.
Their historical influence throughout the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas was vast and they reached mythic proportions as codified in their songs of realization and hagiographies, or namtars, many of which have been preserved in the Tibetan Buddhist canon. Sadhu literally, means one who practises a ″sadhana″ or keenly follows a path of spiritual discipline, who has renounced the worldly life.
