Early life Sadhna was born in 1180 AD in
Sehwan Sharif in
Hyderabad, Sindh,
Soomra kingdom in a Muslim family.
Shaligram desecration Sadhna got
shaligram shilas and used them as weights in his profession. Sadhna annoyed
Vaishnav sadhus and
pandits with this act. Sadhna preached that "Shaligrams Stones" are not god as these are lifeless stones, and can not give any wisdom to a living being. His spiritual quest led him to renounce the life of a householder. He left Sehvan and roamed about the country preaching the love of God.
Dispute with a man's lusty wife This historical account is from the time when Sadhna was young and good looking with a strong body. During his travels in North India, his looks pleased a young married lady, who wanted to have
sex with him. When she asked Sadhna, he replied that he could not have sexual relation with anyone out of his marriage. She thought Sadhna might be fearing her husband. Without understanding Sadhna thoughts, she killed her husband. Came back to Sadhna and told what she did. Sadhna got shocked and left the area after sermonizing her. The lady felt ashamed, she burnt herself on
husband's funeral pyre, so that people continued thinking her to be Sati-Savitri. As per historical resources, Sadhna uttered that
No one knows the ways of women, she kills her husband and became a sati, which then became popular as proverb and used by many poets and writers later on.
