Sadhus: The Great Renouncers

19. KUKKUTA ASANA
Pashupatinath, Kathmandu, Nepal
KUKKUTA ASANA

Aside from a life of simplicity and focus on the Divine, many sadhus engage in a diverse array of practices both internal and external in order to attain higher states of awareness and consciousness. This sadhu has chosen hatha yoga and shows off the results--a well-disciplined, strong body--while holding the kukkuta asana, or cock posture.
