Both the young men expressed their ardent desire to become monks of the Order.

Prime Minister @narendramodi too had similarly expressed his desire to Join the Mission as a Monk. Swami Atmasthanandaji, 15th President of the Order had declined his candidature similarly prophesing that his 'calling' lay elsewhere.
The rest, as they say is history.
