is it correct to give sanyasa ashrama to a brahmachari?

[Guest guest]

I have one question to the learned ones. we know that the 4 phases

in a person's life is Brahmacharya, Gruhasta, Sanyasa and

Vaanaprashta.

But nowadays we see that sanyasashrama is being given to young

brahmachari's who have not passed though the stage of gruhasta.

Some people might give the instance saying Sri Madhvacharya also

took up sanyasa at a very young age. But can we ever compare the

sanyasi of this age to the great Sri Madhwacharya?

There is a lot of fuss about Sri Abbur mata swamiji giving ashrama

to young brahmachari though the boy's parent were unwilling to

accept the swamiji's decision. I dont know how far will this issue

be prolonged. will it ever be resolved?

But in the long run, will the young sanyasi be able to overcome all

the worldly pleasures and desires and behave like a true sanyasi has

to behave?

When greats like Sri Raghavendra Thirtha and Sri Tikicharya were not

able to escape the gruhasta asharama, will the young sanyasi be able

to be strong enough to do so?

But yes, we also have the greats like Sri Pejavar matha swamiji who

took up sanyasa at a very young age of 7 years, and has been a

truely an inspiration to the young sanyasis. But how many can have

the strong mind and devotion as he has?

Also we know the instance of Sri Vidyabhushana swamiji who came back

from sanyasashrama to gruhastashrama?

Now my main questions

1) Has Sri Madhwacharya ever prescibed about when sanyasa ashrama

has to be given to a person?

2) Has shastras mentioned any tests to be performed before giving

sanyasashrama?

3) Does the person who has accepted becoming a sanyasi need to have

some predefined qualities?
