Question: I have recently visited your site and found it to be very knowledgeable. I had visited the site as I wanted some information for a friend of mine who is interested in joining the Math and becoming a monk.
He is presently working in a good position, has been brought up in a highly religious and spiritual background and is very interested in leading a spiritual life…
There are some questions with this regards that I need to ask. Firstly, does the authority decide who they have to admit into the math, I mean, do they have the final say in this matter..? If yes, then, on what basis do the authorities decide whether the person is fit to join the math and become a monk or not..? Do they consider the past of the person..?
He has not yet finished his graduation due to some problems and his age is 26-27 years. Kindly answer and oblige…
