High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Udasi is a religious, ascetic sadhu sect, which considers itself a denomination of Sikhism focused on the teachings of its founder, Sri Chand (1494-1643), son of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder and the first Guru of Sikhism. Later, Baba Gurditta, son of Guru Hargobind and father of Guru Har Rai, led the group on missions outside of the Punjab region, in which Sikhism is concentrated. Udasi, comes from the root word 'udas' which means detachment, renunciation, and, unlike some Sikh groups, they do not prohibit shaving or cutting one's hair. Accordingly, not all Udasi males have beards and long hair, as other Sikh, belonging Khalsa do. Udasi mahants have maintained accurate records of the chain of succession from Sri Chand. They revere the Adi Granth, and their interpretation is generally the same as that of mainstream Sikhism.
