  • @OmmmYogi There are different sects of sadhus in Shaivism. Not all sects use ganja. Some just use meditation and yoga. Smoking ganja is a pious activity as ganja is the prasad (blessing) of lord Shiva. Charas was legal in India till 1974. Lord Shiva is called Chidanada roopa. Manifestation of ananda of mind. Ananda is the selfless love and positivity that flows though the one who connects with the highest consciousness. That endless universal consciousness is lord Shiva. Hara Hara Mahadev.

  • @OmmmYogi Namaste, ganja has a long, long history of usage in India. Ganja is the Indian word for cannabis. Hashish is called charas. It is used to bring one closer to Shiva. It can, of course, be abused. Whether to use it or not is entirely a personal decision, but those who use it spiritually know what it can do and where it can take you.

  • is that cannabis their smoking? do all sadhu's/sages/yogi's in india smoke it? and do they experiment with psychedelic mushrooms?-just curious
