Śri Santosh Puri Ashram's Lineage
Śri Santosh Puri Ashram's lineage traces back through millennia to the Sannyasa traditions of Sada Shiva, Narayana, and Sri Dattatreya, with its present formation based on Sri Adi Shankaracharya's Dashanami Sannyasa Holy Order (established in the 8th century CE). Babaji and Mataji were initiated Sanyasis within the Juna Akhara, the largest and oldest organization of naga sadhus within the order.
