Prayagraj is all set and ready. The process of arrival of Naga Sadhus and Sadhvis from every corner of the country continues for Kumbh. But there are many questions in the mind regarding Naga Sadhus. The first question that comes is what do Naga Sadhus come to do in Kumbh? Who are these Naga Sadhus? how to become? To know the answers to all these questions, we talked to Dhuni Ramai, a Naga Sadhu in his hut during Prayagraj Kumbh. Whose name is Digambar Maniraj Puri.
The Naga Sadhu who had come from Haridwar agreed to talk with great difficulty. Maniraj Puri talked in detail about the process of becoming a Sadhu and the purpose of life of Naga Sadhus. Maniraj Puri, who lived in the mountains of Uttarakhand till the age of 13, joined the company of Naga Sadhus. After going through three processes of becoming a Naga Sadhu, he is now a complete Naga Sadhu.
Left home at the age of 13
Maniraj Puri left home at the age of 13. However, he also studied. He completed his university education, but after completing the entire process of becoming a Naga Sadhu, he left everything behind. Rubbing the ghost of crematorium on his body in the harsh cold, while talking to Aaj Tak, Naga Sadhu Maniraj Puri said that he does not feel cold. Because the body and life of Naga Sadhus are like children. In the process of becoming a Naga Sadhu, the body goes into that state, just like a child is in the mother’s womb, that is, the membrane in which a child is inside the womb. That is, he is surrounded by a membrane in the form of God’s name and then he is not affected by heat, cold, fire, heat or pain.
trained to use guns
Maniraj Puri said that his aim is only to protect Sanatan. He said that the branch of Naga Sadhus formed since the time of Adi Shankaracharya is their armed army to protect Sanatan from any threat. Naga Sadhu Maniraj Puri told that complete training in weapons is given in his Akhara. They even get training in how to use a gun, so that if ever there is any danger to Sanatan, then a fight can be fought.
How to become a Naga Sadhu?
Naga Sadhu Maniraj Puri told that it is not easy to become a Naga. After cremating one’s body and performing Pind Daan, initiation into Sannyasa is taken. After going through many processes, finally the process of breaking the penis is the most important one, in which the penis is broken to control its function, but Naga Sadhu refused to tell what this process is. He says that this is a secret process, which cannot be told publicly. He said that when we are made Naga, the penis is broken, which never causes any excitement, but life becomes joyful.
Left family, renounced attachment and love
Naga Sadhu Maniraj Puri told that we left the house. Mothers and sisters were left behind, but we got so many mothers and sisters. The whole world is our home and the mothers and sisters of the whole world are our mothers and sisters.
For us, life is a hymn to Hari, it is love. Our parents are our teachers. We became as our Guru nurtured us. He said that we do not know lust. God is the only way for us.
Maniraj Puri told that to attain God is to go beyond lust, anger and attachment. The life of Naga Sadhus is to go beyond everything and worship Lord Shiva. The aim of us Naga Sadhus is human welfare. We are sitting here so that all of you Sanatan people can breathe in the open air.
