Pajé Maná Madhá received from his own people the name “Saint.” He is a great spiritual leader. As explained by Putanny and Biraci Nixiwaká, leaders of the Yawanawá people, Maná and his wife Ratsuhá are regarded as “people from 500 years ago” and as “royalty” in the realm of spirituality. He received a traditional training that today only a few pajés still carry, with deep knowledge of medicinal plants and a powerful spiritual healing technique, capable of materializing illness in order to remove it from the patient’s body. Known for healing serious illnesses, Maná works on both the physical and spiritual dimensions.
