Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Every sadhu from any Akhara is welcome to stay in any other Akhara. Any sadhu who has adhikara is welcome to teach any sadhu of any other tradition. Adhikara means who has authority - something to teach. , "Mahamuni" <mahamuni@c...> wrote: > I believe one commonly stays within one's Akhara though, correct?

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 The Kumbh and other melas are efforts to promote the akhara. Of course sadhus stay with their own akhara at the melas. But when traveling sadhus visit and stay at other akharas. Our lineage is associated with Sringeri Math, Niranjani akhara , "Mahamuni" <mahamuni@c...> wrote: > Thank You for this Swamji. From my very limited experience, which is inifinitely far short of Yours, I have almost always seen sadhus staying with others from the same Akhara, especially at the Kumbhs. While they may visit other akharas typically they stayed within their own. I found this to be the case with those I have met when they travelled as well. Teaching is of course another matter, and I have no experience to comment. > > What akhara was Your Guruji from, if it is okay to inquire? > > Pranams, > > Surya > > ---- Original Message ----- > swami_satyanandasaraswati > > Saturday, February 28, 2004 11:38 AM > Re: Five Articles of Worship .........*** > > > Every sadhu from any Akhara is welcome to stay in any other Akhara. > Any sadhu who has adhikara is welcome to teach any sadhu of any other > tradition.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 swamiji, can you tell us anything else of your lineage? whe you say "our lineage" do you mean both you and shree maa, or the lineage that proceeds back from your own guru? apologies if this is already stated in one of your books. respectfully, steve c. , "swami_satyanandasaraswati" <swami_satyanandasaraswati> wrote: > The Kumbh and other melas are efforts to promote the akhara.
