normally not much of difference...all are away from materialism and are progressing on spirituality however little diff. can be
Sadhu --- The who has renunciated the world and living alone
Rishi - Sadhu who has progressed a lot...and stays in his Ashram while teaching others about God
Muni - A Rsihi who lives alone..and normally does not impart knowedge..but busy in his own quest further
Sant - One who knows the truth... he may be living with family but will be busy in propagating the truth
Yogi - The one who does Yoga (Pranayama, Hathha yoga, kundalini yoga etc) and has got full control over his Prana
Mahatama - is senior of Sant... he may be living among the massess with family..but has detached himself from wordly lusts
Siddha yogi... a Yogi who has mastered some sort of Yoga and have got siddhis connected to that yoga
VEDAS : The most ancient books about Truth...They start from as low as telling about a Yagya for rain... goes highest to attaining Moksha
Upanishadas.: Later explanations about Truth..as experienced by different rishis.
