Mahasiddha Dhahulipa… Dhahuli / Dekara (rtsva thag can): “The Man of the Grass Rope”
Dhahuli was from a low caste family in Dhakara, who made a living by making ropes out of grass. One day, while tying the ropes, a large and painful wound appeared on his hands. A yogin came along and asked what was bothering him. In reply, the rope-maker told him what happened. The yogin then told him if he couldn’t handle such a small wound, then what he would do if reborn into an unpleasant state in the next life? At that, Dhahuli requested a method to free himself and was given the initiation which transfers spiritual strength and was given instructions to practice the path of realization.
After meditating for 12 years with faith and vigor, he obtained siddhi and became famous everywhere. For 700 years he worked for the benefit of many beings. When he departed for the realm of the Dakas, he had 500 followers who followed him.
