Guest guest Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: One time Nanjeeyar attempted to carry the palanquin in which Bhattar was sitting. Bhattar stopped him saying "This is inappropriate for one who is a sanyasi". Nanjeeyar replied "I took on sanyasam because I thought it would allow me to perform uninterrupted service (free of the duties of a grhasta). However if that makes it impossible for me to do this service to you, then I will remove this saffron dress and put on a white dress again". That is, any dharma (including varanAshrama) which does not fit in with service to the acharya is to be given up.
