Tired of greedy imposters ruining their reputation, sadhus in India will soon be issued official ID cards from an umbrella association of 13 akharas or monastic orders.

Apart from the name and photograph of the sadhu, the credit-card sized plastic card will also carry the name, contact number and address of his respective akhara, the signature of the akahara head or secretary and the duration of the seer’s association with it.

“Sadhus are being brought into disrepute by anti-social elements posing as one,” said Narendra Giri, the newly-elected head of the Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad which is issuing the ID cards.

“These ID cards will help a genuine sadhu establish his identity among the people.”
