As a rule in most orders, if a candidate enters monastic training before age twenty-five and meets other qualifications, he may, generally after a minimum of twelve years of preparation and training, take the sanny\u0101sin\u2019s lifetime vows, called holy orders of sanny\u0101sa. Only a sanny\u0101sin can bring another into the ancient order of sanny\u0101sa. However, since the purpose is God Realization, most candidates seek initiation from a spiritually advanced knower of God who can bring them into Para\u015biva. Sanny\u0101sa d\u012bksh\u0101 is given in simple or most formal ways. The formal rites include the shaving of the head, conveyance of certain esoteric teachings, abjuration of the worldly life and dharma, administration of monastic vows, conducting of the novitiate\u2019s funeral rites and the giving of the kavi vestments. The Vedas proclaim, \u201cThe Self within the body, pure and resplendent, is attained through the cultivation of truth, austerity, right knowledge and chastity. When their impurities dwindle, the ascetics behold Him.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Sanny\u0101sin\u2019s Initiation Rite? \u015aLOKA 119Young, unmarried men of the Hindu religion may qualify for renunciation, called sanny\u0101sa d\u012bksh\u0101, which may be conferred by any legitimate sanny\u0101sin.
