A new Sannyasin for the Shankaracharya Sampradaya

[V Subrahmanian]

Today our group member Brahmachari sri Bharat Shastry of Tiruvannamalai received Sanyasa Diksha from Pujyasri Omkarananda Mahaswamiji Theni. The yogapattam is Sri Brahmathmananda Saraswathi Swamijइ.

He was known as Bharat Sastry, from a Kannada Brahmin family in Bangalore. He had his education here and worked with some MNC-s and left all that a few years ago and joined an Ashram at Tiruvannamalai. Deeply into spiritual studies and practices, he has now taken sannyasa. A very pleasing person. He takes Vedanta classes in English.h.

Dear Subbuji,

Is the first step of the ceremony similar to the Prajapatyam, mentioned in the Mahabharata in the Mahaprasthanika parva, where a person gives up the fire (prajapratyaka) into the water and at the same time also takes the fire  into own  body (i.e., means one has done the Daahan (burning) of one's own physical body and is free from the physical (material) world. Shall appreciate sharing the details, or is there any available literature on this?

Regards,

sunil KB
