Asceticism enjoyed great respect in Hindu society in the past. With the advancement of physical science, however, the attitude of the people towards asceticism changed and the people started doubting the relevance of this institution. Besides, several pericious practices crept in the ascetic life in course of time which tarnished the image of Hindu Society in general and Sadhu`s Community in particular. But even today there are people who value spiritual aspects of asceticism and claim that Indian Sadhus still play a positive role in society. This volume is a study of evaluating theri role and status in the modern Indian Society. In the present revised and enlarged edition, the author has added four chapters namely, Sadhus at Kumbh, Shadus sharing Social Concern, Litigation amoung Sadhus and Contemporary Trends in Asceticism.
