His hatred of idol worship and traditional system of teaching were igniting fire in him. He was a blind sanyasi called Virajanand Dandi - a great authority on Sanskrit grammar and man of heroic mould. After fifteen years of restless wandering from place to place and from teacher to teacher, in 1860, Dayanand reached Mathura and found the Guru he was searching for. All this time, he met only with those who could make good show with the outer paraphernalia of so-called ‘religious life’. In search of a teacher who could give him the right clues to spirituality and true knowledge, he wandered from place to place. It was during this time that he practiced yoga and learnt Vedanta Philosophy. This sanyasi initiated him into the Saraswati order, and gave him a new name ‘Dayanand Saraswati’.ĭayanand Saraswati took an extensive tour of India. Shuddha Chaitanya wandered here and there in search of truth and knowledge, and met a sanyasi, Swami Purnanand Saraswati. Hurt, dejected and annoyed, Moolshankar fled his home and became a sadhu with a changed identity as Brahmachari Shuddha Chaitanya. His parents, having to come to know of his resolve, decided to get him married and fixed a day for the same to wean him from the pursuit of renunciation. He firmly believed that it was possible to attain salvation and triumph over death through the practice of yoga. He, however, resolutely continued with his mission to unravel the mysteries of life. He began to have serious misgivings about the capability of prevailing religious systems to provide satisfying answers to the serious queries regarding life, death and sufferings. These painful experiences further intensified his urge to know and understand the higher question of life. There are other incidents in his life that left indelible marks on his mind - the death of his sister and of his uncle whom he had loved so passionately. He put an end to his vigil and broke his fast, as he had made up his mind to break away once and for all from idol worship. The boy was not satisfied with such an explanation and went home. His father, in the usual manner, explained, “Shiva can not be perceived directly in this Kali Age, and hence people have to consecrate the idol representing the God by reciting Vedic mantras for the purpose of worship”. He roused his father from sleep and asked him to clear his doubts. Then, suddenly, gripped his mind a hideous doubt as to whether the stone image of Shiva before him, bestriding a bull with a trident in one hand and a drum in the other, and allowing live rats to crawl over His body, could indeed be the Lord of Kailash, the Supreme being. Young Moolshankar, now and then, bathed his eyes with cold water to resist sleep. His father and other devotees soon fell asleep. Once, on a Shivaratri day, when Moolshankar was only in his fourteenth year, his father commanded him to participate in the night-long vigil in the temple of Lord Shiva. By the time he was fourteen, he had committed to his memory the whole of the Yajurveda and several portions of other Vedas. He was invested with the sacred thread in his eighth year. Moolshankar’s Sanskrit education began at the age of five. His father Karshanji Lalji Tiwari was an orthodox Brahmin, and a devout worshiper of Lord Shiva.
He was born in 1824 at Tankara in the then Morvi state in Kathiyawar region of Gujarat. Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati, before becoming a sanyasi, bore the name of Moolshankar.
