In the Order of Sanyasis, the yearly rituals conducted at the start of the Chathurmasya period calculates the actual number of years that they are a sanyasi.
The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) was initiated into Chaturmasya at the age of three, for the revival of KAILASA, the enlightenment eco-system.
Mata Vibhutananda Puri, {SPH’s Guru}, held the divine incarnation {at a tender age of 3} on her lap and conducted the rituals on behalf of Him. WITH DEEP GRATITUDE TO MATA VIBHUTANANDA PURI, WHO RECORDED THIS HISTORICAL EVENT BY ORGANIZING A PHOTOGRAPHER TO CAPTURE THIS HAPPENING. Then, they arranged for the photograph of SPH to be taken, to record this historical happening in the history of the world itself.
