this is a big topic of discussion and i feel that we must think of it a lot

 

Pujya Swamiji was very strong opinioned on the bestowment of sanyasa diksha and to my knowledge Swami Yogananda Giri of the Gitananda Ashram was the only person given sanyasa diksha by him

 

he gave nama diksha to many but sanyasa diksha was another thing

 

we now-a-days have persons who become "sanyasis" and then renounce sanyas again !!!

What a beautiful topic that is close to my heart. many times I have felt the compelling urge to walk into the sun renouncing everything that ever was, is and will be. at such times so much peace overwhelms me, I know that in that eternal moment I am sannyas or rather it is me. no title, no words, no external eyes on me or me on them, simply renunciation. then I am called to do my duty immediately resisting I am aware that I am far away from true renunciation. over the years I slowly let go of desires and aversions slowly going deeper into understanding Sannyasi. more and more doing what is here and now. In my study of Sannyasi I study sannyasins and see also so much of what Sri Satyaprem speaks of, then letting it go for, what do I know afterall, I surrender my ideas of what sannyas is. for me I have come to a personal sentiment that of course may change in time, that to take the name and title sannyasin, to vow to do or not to do some thing is initself a contradiction to true

renunciation. I know that there are many things that I have wanted and yet they have been taken away from me. If I could have my way I would still be living in "my" penthouse married to "my" beautifull ex-wife, I would "have" children and I would be still driving "my" fancy BMW and earning a quarter Mil a year but that was not meant to be. in fact very appropriatly I litterally broke myself over the laws so I could "have" and keep those things. I had to let go ...no choice. it is this choicelessness that brings us to our true selves and the essence of sannyas. If I was to "take" the title of Swami out of desire for some experience or elimination of some unwanted experience then I might very well be restricting the actual essence of Sanyass. When Swamiji toke Sannyas he renounced, then when Amma came into his life he accepted another aspect of renunciation. he did not restrict the will of God he accepted his Dharma thus maintaining

Sannyas.

In truth isnt the Grihasta who accepts his Dharma, who renounces his desire for Sannyas, and performs his duty fully and joyfully with present moment awareness a true embodiment of Sannyasi? let us do our Sadhana in the spirit of Seva, let us help others do thier Sadhana as Seva and in so doing embody the essence of Sannyas. Everything changes we should not resist dharma rather we should accept it. if someday you find yourself immersed in God then you have achieved Sannyas but only you, your Guru, and God will know and it will all exist without any title or formal vows. The only vow that we should make is that we can work towards knowing Gods/Gurus will and that we can perform it as best we can. At this stage in my evolution this is what I have come to understand as Sannyas, there is a power and magic to it that seems to .........(no words) everything and nothing, fill and empty, implode and explode.

I do look forward to hearing others comments and instincts on this beautiful topic. I have done alot of self study on this topic and while of course I have far to go perhaps my understanding can ignite others and that flame can illuminate "our" way so we may go further.

WIth profound interest, yours in the service of Yoga,

Gowrishankarananda (GS)

Dear members.

Should i use the word-spiritual corruption of what you are saying. but

spiritual consciousness as such can not be corrupted and is eternal,

infinite, truth, bliss and so on. and it it can not be corrupted then why

this vulgarsiation. i wounder if i say darkness is not oppsite of light but

absence of light. similarly, so called vulgarisation of Sannyasa is absence

of awakening of spiritual consciousness and manifesttaion of that

consciousness in an individual.

i as person guided bymind would call that person in ingorance and woill

continue my sadhana.

there is another way is to curse, crticise ..........of that person, this

would bring in conflicts and confusions in my mind and this i never want to

do as i am treading the path of spirtuality.

there are other points also to be considered here with refrernce to

spiirtuality and world

the simple explanation about what you wrote is that we should condemn ,

reject and refuse those people who are engaged in these so called pseudo

spiritualism. but i do not get any spiritual heights or raise my

consciousness.

 

 

there is philosophical explanation is that we must condemn , reject and

reject these movements , these people etc . well, purley an idealist view.

but being an idealist view , i can not prorgess as all philosophy remains at

mental level and spirituality is beyond

 

there is another view i would rather call it , spirtual explanataion

 

i wounder if God look at those people , what he would say or what satnd he

would take

God is eternal love, knolwdge, truth , bliss infnite. because he is infnite

 

as God is infnite , created everything, so he is also within these people.

God hie himself of infnity, eternity and knolwdge, manifest as vulgarisation

..

if God never say anything, who are we to say. but that does not mean

glorification. it means i am in process of becming divine, so i accept it as

mental aberration and mental view but spritual view absorbs one and all,

good and bad, i progress spiritually

There is big confusion about Yoga and Sannyasa. Sannyasa is method and a

practice and yoga science of which Sannyasa is one organ by which one can

reach to ultimate.

Sannyasa is external and internal.

The external is more demanding towards social consciousness but transcending

social consciousness can alone take us to journey to the ultimate. It

appears that society instituted Sannyasa for promotion of a tradition,

religion and scriptures. But internal Sannyasa is more a transformation, an

awakening and realisation that social consciousness as such a barrier to

realisation of the ultimate.

What society offers comes out of ignorance and what yoga offers comes out of

The Absolute and it is Absolute knowledge.

What comes out of ignorance is required to either left as done by

Sankaracharya or transformed as done by Vivekananda and even some Bhakti

school of yoga. There are others who ignored this and entered into trance

known as Samadhi.

The question is what I am going to do as Sadhaka of yoga, as an ardent

practitioner of yoga in order to realise what the ultimate is?

 

It is always better to follow according to one’s aspiration and that is

realisation, peace, harmony within. I happened to visit Rishikesh every week

from Delhi in search of spiritual master. I met many masters during the last

25 years. But I met a master who claimed to offer me realisation and guided

few practices which I knew beforehand. These were Hatha Yoga practices and

could not take one to higher consciousness. I was annoyed and angry over

this master who is still alive and had very big Ashram there and large

follwing. The incident dates back in 1989, I started crying over him and

caught his loin clothes. He asked me,” I will go sin as I have humiliated

the master” I was not controlled and said to him,” here is your initiation,

here are articles of intiation.” I vivdly remember I humiliated him the most

and left the place and went to near by ashram. I knew the master did not

know anything, I also knew that this man claim himself as Sannyasi always

make people fool.

I had a habit of contemplation -Reflection and Awareness of the event as it

is. During the night id started contemplation over the event and started

abusing myself like the way I am writing below.

“If you want to buy a shirt, you go to market and to many shops in search of

a shirt. If a shopkeeper does not have a shirt you want to buy, you never

fight with him and ask him as why he is not keeping the shirt, and you want

to buy. Then why I fought with that Sannyasi who claimed to be a master. I

have to do nothing with what he has or does not have but keep my eyes on

what aspire for, what I want and if a person , event do not bring it, let me

change the event or change the master.” This lesson of humility even towards

taught me a great lesson, and I am the last person to disclose to anyone

what exactly I know but always pay respect to all irrespective of one having

knowledge or not.”

What I am looking for is more important than how the world is. I know

world is not going to change for me, let me change for the sake of yoga.
