becomes a Mohammedan when water is sprinkled on one's face from a Mohammedan's pitcher. Actually he was planning to give up his material life and leave his family. Hindu culture recommends four divisions— brahmacarya ,  gṛhastha ,  vānaprastha  and  sannyāsa . Subuddhi Rāya was thinking of taking  sannyāsa , and by the grace of Kṛṣṇa, he received this opportunity. He therefore left his family and went to Vārāṇasī. The system of  varṇāśrama-dharma  is very scientific. If one is directed by the  varṇāśrama  institution, he will naturally think of retiring from family life at the end of his life. Therefore  sannyāsa  is compulsory at the age of fifty.
