Initiation of Disciples into Sannyas at Kumbh Mela

Naga Baba Bir Giri Ji and four other Naga Babas perform what is known among yogis as the “sacrament of the five gurus.”

Establishing the guru-disciple relationship, two new disciples are given the five “gifts” of the gurus, including the guru mantra, lingoti (loincloth), vibhuti (sacred ashes), the ochre cloth, and the rudraksha seed.

Baba Rampuri narrates.
