[Advaita-l] Sannyasopanishad - The Advaiti Sannyasin

[V Subrahmanian]

The Sannyasopanishad, listed in the Muktika 108, prescribes a practice that
is in vogue among Advaitin Sannyasins.

No shikha, yajnopavita, one staff and bhasmadhaarana:

परमहंसः शिखायज्ञोपवीतरहित: पञ्चगृहेषु करपात्री एककौपीनधारी। शाटीमेकामेकं
वैणवं* दण्डमेकशाटीधरो वा भस्मोद्धूलनपर: सर्वत्यागी।॥*

This is also found in the Narada parivrajaka upanishad:
