Did you know... that Hindu sadhus live in the cremation grounds of Tarapith as they believe that goddess Tara – who is attracted to bones – dwells there?

There's plenty of information out there about Sadhak Bamakhepa (mentioned in several english language books and PLENTY of bengali books.) Perhaps he should have his own article instead of being a sub-set of the Tarapith article? Kobresia (talk) 22:44, 22 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There is no link to qualify the name 'Sati' — this should be made clear if this is Tara (Adishakti). And should Shakti and Tara be the same entity, it should also be altered. Stjohn1970 (talk) 09:58, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
