Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 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. Adhikara means who has authority - something to teach.--- In , "Mahamuni" < wrote:> I believe one commonly stays within one's Akhara though, correct?
