UDASIN SECT (SAMPRADAYA)
The Udasin Sect (Sapradaya) is an ancient Mutt. It has a very respectable and reverential place in India. Udasin sect originated from Sanakadikas, the four sons of Brahma- the creator (one of the trinities), who renounced the world in quest of realizing the supreme and treaded the path of asceticism. It is believed that God Vishnu himself took the body of Hansa, taught Sanathkumar and initiated him to the fourth Ashram i.e. Sanyasta and told him to live in the world and to move from place to place being absorbed only in Brahma. The meaning of the word ‘Udasin’ is, ‘Ud’ means ‘Brahma” and ‘asin’ means ’sthita’ i.e., one who is absorbed in Brahma. Udasin does not mean sorrowful, sad or dejected, one who is completely absorbed in Brahma the Divine is Udasin.
History of Udasin Saints:
Sanat Kumar was the first Udasin Acharya. The Second was Narad Muni. There were about one hundred sixty-five Acharyas in total. In the holy order of the Udasin Sampradaya Avinishi Muni was the one hundred and sixty fourth and Bhagwan Sri Srichand Baba has one hundred and sixty fifth place. The Udasin Sampradaya descending from Sanathkumar has given many divine saints.
Tapasvi Kamalapati Ji of Hyderabad Udasin Mutt (Ashram) was one of them. These divine udasin saints have played an important part in spreading the Hindu Vedic religion and its literature in India and outside India. The Udasin Sect is the inborn branch of Hindu Vedic Religion.
