why not ?
A real Sanyasi cannot seek luxury. A Sanyasi is one who has renounced. There are different types of Sanyasis. For example, Raja Janak, he was a king. He continued to run his kingdom. Although he was a king, he renounced all cravings and desires. Those who want to give up all relationships, all possessions, all pleasures and go away into the mountains or on Sanyas do not seek luxury. If they're seeking luxury, then they're not real Sanyasis. There are different types of spiritual people. There's a Yogi. A Yogi is united with God. He may not be a Sanyasi. Therefore, we should differentiate between a Yogi, a Sanyasi, just as between religious saints, spiritual seekers — they are different types of people and we must identify them whatever way they are.
They are not sanyasis but fraud or in other words self style gurus.
May be they want to be modern sanyasees; As everyone wants to discard old system, then why they should remain behind?
A genuine Sanyasi doesn't seek luxuries, it is only bogus/rouge Sanyasis who do this.
Because he/she has taken sanyas as a profession not spirituality.
To call these saffron or white robbed people SANYASI is WRONG ! they are SMART businessmen who produce NOTHING of value addition and yet generate huge revenues ! Most belong to this category ! Asaram/Chandraswami / many more like Nityananada etc ! some like SriSRI Ravi are PATENTING their AOL like a NORMAL business houses and so cannot be a sanyasi at any cost, he is a core BUSINESS MAN who chooses NOT to shave n wear white dress / Same with Ramdev ! They use better mobiles / live in AC rooms / have BEST cars /travel in executive /first class in AIR / stay in top hotels and meet with super rich ONLY mostly ! for others it is darshan ! THese are modern day crooks and not sanyasis at all ! A true sanyasi will FORSESAKE all comforts and wont know whether he will get next meal at all and if he does from where ! that is REAL sanyasi ! yes an enlightened BEGGER must and has to be a SANYASI !
