At the age of twenty five, (the later) Svāmī Brahmānanda Sarasvatī emerged from his cave and permanently rejoined his Master at his ashram. At the age of 34, he was initiated into the order of "Sannyas" by his master at the Indian celebration called Kumbh Mela. At that time, he was ordained into the ascetic order and given the formal name Svāmī Brahmānanda Sarasvatī, that is Svāmī Brahmānanda of the Sarasvatī branch of the medieval Dashanami Sampradaya monastic order. The greater portion of his life had been lived in total seclusion, he is reported to have created a cave in central India where he lived for forty years.
