| Householder Saint Sadhu Nag Mahashay |
| |
Sainthood (Sannyas) is very hard. Harder it is to perform sannyas remaining in family life. To continue in this religious path, it is necessary to give up women and money in one word, “Grihi Sannyasi” will leave every thing, follow the path of religion and at the same time perform the duties of family. Sri Ramakrishna gave lesson to house holders how to perform sannyas maintaining family life. So Sadhu Nag Mahashay was known as Grihi Sannyasi. He performed sannyas staying at home. Seeing the sorrows of family life he went to Sri Ramakrishna to obtain sannyas. Seeing Sadhu Nag Mahashay Thakur said- |
| |
"You need not to become sannyasi. You stay at home. House holders will learn religion following you." |
| |
Since then Sadhu Nag Mahashay started practicing sannyas staying at home. He became Grihi Sannyahi Sadhu Nag Mahashay. |
