PRAYAGRAJ: Many great ascetics and 'Hatha Yogis' have also arrived at the world's largest fair, set to kick off on January 13.
The tough sadhanas undertaken by these holy men, including standing for years without sitting or lying down, or keeping a hand raised skywards for years—often resulting in permanent deformities—are already drawing crowds of devotees. These acts, performed amidst the intense winter chill on the banks of Sangam, aim for the world's well-being and human welfare.
The tradition of 'Hatha Yog' is especially prevalent in seven Shaivite Akharas. Monks from Juna, Mahanirvani, Niranjani, Aavahan, Anand, Atal and Shri Shambhu Panch Agni Akharas are renowned for practicing these Hatha Yogas as penance for humanity's welfare, said Swami Hari Giri, secretary of the Akhil Bhartiya Akhara Parishad (Hari Giri faction) and patron of Shri Panch Dasnaam Juna Akhara.
