I am starting to realize that you are not ready to acknowledge that the very act of taking up a sannyas is in *itself* the vow of full celibacy, the vow of never entering any close and intimate relationship with a woman for the rest of life. They take up a sannyas dress and a danda so that the whole Universe may be alarmed about it. But no. We are coming up with a microscope to search for some small print on the bottle that would clarify to us the exact nature of its content.. - mnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
