It is the duty of a mendicant to have experience of all varieties of God's creation as Paribrajakacharya or travelling alone through all forests, hills, towns, villages etc. to gain faith in God and strength of mind as well as to enlighten the inhabitants of the message of God. A Sannyasi is duty bound to take all these risks without any fear and the most typical Sannyasi of the present age is Lord Chaitanya Who travelled in the same manner through the central India jungles enlightening even the tigers, bears, snakes, deers, elephants and many others jungle animals. In this age of Kali Sannyas is forbidden for ordinary men and one who change the dress for making propaganda face is a different man from the original ideal Sannyasi. One should however take the vow of complete stoppage of social intercourse and devote life exclusively for the service of the Lord and the change of dress is but only formal. Lord Chaitanya did not accept the name of Sannyasi and in this age of Kali the so called Sannysins may not change their former names following the footprints of Lord Chaitanya. In this age devotional service of hearing and repeating the holy glories of the Lord is strongly recommended and one who may take the vow of renunciation of family life may not imitate the Paribrajakacharya like Narada or Lord Chaitanya but may sit down at some holy place and devote the whole time and energy in hearing and repeatedly chanting the holy scriptures left by the great Acharyas like the six Goswamins of Vrindaban.
