Ochre robe of initiation given by Aruṇagiri Yogīśvara to The young Avatar when He was barely 10.

Aruṇagiri Yogīśvara is the embodiment of Paramaśiva (the primordial Hindu Divinity) who assumed the form of a Sanyasi and befriended The young Avatar as His Guru, in the unique Happening of 'Guru and Disciple' where the Guru is the embodiment of Paramaśiva and the disciple is the current incarnation of Paramaśiva!

This ochre robe is the robe of initiation Aruṇagiri Yogīśvara wrapped around The young Avatār initiating Him into Sanyās (monkhood). The initiation happened under a metaphysical Banyan tree which Aruṇagiri Yogīśvara led The young Avatar to. This is one of two objects that has come from the metaphysical plane to the physical plane as evidence for what happened in the metaphysical place. The other object is a porridge bowl given by Sri Rama to Sri Ramakrishna (a great Hindu incarnation) through an intense spiritual experience.

The SPH adorning the very ochre robe...Behind Him can be seen the Pavazha Kundru area, with the Ardhanareeshwarar temple and the first ever monastery built by The SPH's Gurus for Him (as a small structure in the distance). It is here that He had the profound experience of enlightenment at the age of 12 years.
