PRAYAGRAJ, Jan 15: The Brahmacharya Deeksha Samaroh started at Shri Shambhu Panch Agni Akhara, the akhara of ‘brahmacharis’, located on the fair premises of Maha Kumbh Prayagraj, on Wednesday.
Brahmacharis of Chaturnaam live in this Akhara in line with the tradition of Adi Guru Shankaracharya.
Prakash, Swaroop, Chaitanya and Anand represent one Shankaracharya each in this Akhara. All the four Vedas are studied in the Akhara, so that they can go to the society and propagate religion.
Mahamandaleshwar Sampurnanand Maharaj of Shri Shambhu Panch Agni Akhara said that there were lakhs of brahmacharis in this Akhara.
He said, “Whoever comes here to be initiated into the ‘Brahmacharya’ practice, has to first understand the traditions of the Akhara and Sanatan Dharma. When the Panchs of the Akhara feel that he is mature enough to become a brahmachari, he is given Deeksha as a brahmachari.”
According to Sampurnanand Maharaj, a brahmachari is one who follows the religion and is capable of explaining and propagating the Sanatan Dharma to people.
He said, “Those who abandon family lives come here. Many brahmacharis were given Deeksha here and they received social titles. Brahmacharis are appointed to the posts of Sabhapati, General Secretary, Secretary, Shrimahant, Mahant, Thanapati, Kotwal, Pujari as per their qualifications.”
