Santa Sadhu
Sandeep Sood - December 27, 2005
Some solid investigative reporting into the ancient connections between Santa Claus and Hindu Sadhus. Set to a remix of Sanjay's favorite Xmas song, "Santa Claus is a Black Man".
Watch the video.
Sorry, Mr. O'Reilly, but it wouldn't be the first time Christianity improvised.
The video is directed by David Kalal. Merry Krishna!

Where is this information from. I love to find old connections between races and cultures.
I don't think Santa Claus was ever realy any part of christianity though......was he?
Sandeep: This Santa Sadhu is akin to calling Harry Potter as 'Hari Puttar' :))
Kate,
Good to see you picked up the right emoticon ;-)
Hope you never have to use this one :(
... :-)))
P
saskcarp - just so I don't start any rumors, the video is actually an art piece. I'm not aware of any actual connection between santas and sadhus beyond lots of facial hair.
Hi Peter,
I may have to confiscate some of that colorful make-up, for the mardi gras celebration in February!
The thought of that makes me :)

btw, I do not intend to grow facial hair, and this brunette is not coloring her hair, white. No. I say let it grow, let it grow, let it grow, naturally! :) :) two smiles (hope that doesn't overdo it)
I was under the impression that the classic image of Santa Claus was invented by none other than Coca Cola!
You guys are the best. Thanks for the good laugh. Wish you every success in all your nutty ventures (and the serious ones too).
Loved the movie, Sandeep, and as I turned on the speakers, my husband concomitantly put on Krishna Das' CD Om Namah Shivaya upstairs, very loudly... very effectful, lol
Very different very interesting, but I don't get it man.
That's like how Bollywood "copies" Hollywood movies sometimes...you know criminal was the fugitive etc?
Merry Krishna though!
I totally enjoyed the site and look forward to more enjoyment. I emailed the address to my son. I loved the clip of outsourcing Bush..... too funny. love patty
