Akhada means a 'group' and in this context implies a group of sadhus not a group of wrestlers; Sects is a close but not exact English equivalent of Akhadas. The Hindu Vaishnavite sadhus are organized into 12-15 major akhadas or congregations with tens of thousands of sadhus each. Nirmohi Akhada is one of the oldest and most respected akhadas in the Hindu Vaishnavite hierarchy.- Thanks to
