Abdhut

Abdhut, Audhut, Avadhut: A Hindu devotee who worships Shiva who neglects the ceremonies of religion and goes about naked, with his body besmeared with ashes. Guru Nanak defines the Abdhut as a person who renounces vice and is imbued with the Holy Name. Such a person not only liberates himself from the chain of transmigration and thus is linked to God, but also enables others to attain the same God. (ADI GRANTH. p.877)
