Sannyas: Orange and Mala
- "BHAGWAN,
- WHY DO SANNYASINS HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR NAMES AND WEAR A MALA?
- First: there is no reason why sannyasins are in orange and wear a mala except that I am eccentric about it. I am a little in love with the orange and I am in love with myself, hence the mala. This is the truth, if you understand. If you need some rationalisation you can ask my disciples."
