In Hinduism, a sadhu is an itinerant holy man. He survives by begging for food and money.

Hindu beliefs originated about 4,500 years ago and passed on a rich assortment of myths and legends.

Underlying this multifaceted worship is the creative strength of Brahman, the supreme being.

Hindus believe that all living things are part of Brahman that; they are sparks divine life, that transmute from one body to another.

Samsara is the endless cycle of birth and death, and that according to an individuals karma they sometimes descend into the form of a plant or an insect, or the body of a human. And that humans have the opportunity, through knowledge and devotion, to break the karmic chain and achieve final liberation. The human is then free to return to Brahman.
