Thank you so much !
Great post.
Is Rasta-fari based on some of these "traditions" ? Like growing dreads and smoking weed. Plus i heard these guys are major respected in the cast-system in India?
I don't think so . Its a part of Hindu tradition ! Mostly they are respected as upper cast in India but in Nepal there is no any rules . Any one can be a Sadhus or Yogi.
I mean the Rastas got it from the Hindu's !
Yes, you heard true !
